What is Bro/Zeek?

Zeek (formerly known as Bro) is a powerful network analysis framework that is much more than a typical intrusion detection system (IDS). It provides a comprehensive platform for network security monitoring, offering real-time analysis of network traffic. Zeek excels at deep packet inspection and event logging, allowing security professionals to gain insights into network behavior, detect anomalies, and respond to security threats. It is commonly used for network security monitoring, incident response, and forensic analysis.
