How Zeek Compares with Other Network Security Solutions
Zeek (Standalone) gives security teams full control over configuration, scripting, and versioning. Its ideal for organizations that already have a mature security stack and want a pure, flexible network monitoring engine running efficiently on AWS.
Security Onion 2 is an all-in-one security monitoring distribution that bundles Zeek and Suricata, Elastic Stack, full packet capture, and a web UI. Its best suited for teams looking for a ready to use SOC platform with minimal setup effort.
Vectra Cognito takes a different approach it doesnt run Zeek directly but exports enriched network metadata in Zeek-compatible formats. It relies on AI driven detection to prioritize threats and stream insights to SIEMs and data lakes, focusing more on rapid detection than raw traffic analysis.
