Brim Security, Inc.

Brim Security, Inc. specializes in open-source network forensics, offering a single but powerful desktop application that turns multi-gigabyte packet captures and Zeek logs into instantly queryable evidence. Brim is built for analysts who need to dissect traffic without first moving data to heavy SIEM platforms: security operations centers use it to triage alerts by pivoting from an IDS signature to the exact PCAP slice, while incident-response teams rely on its columnar Zed data lake to hunt lateral movement across weeks of Zeek conn, dns and files logs. The same architecture benefits network engineers who baseline performance anomalies, DevOps staff who audit encrypted TLS handshakes in container traffic, and compliance officers who must document data exfiltration. Because queries are expressed in the Zed language—combining search, aggregation and enrichment in one pass—users can generate timelines, extract files or summarize DNS tunneling patterns without writing SQL joins. Brim renders results as interactive tables, packet decodes and GeoIP maps, then exports them to JSON or CSV for ticketing systems. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest release and supporting batch installation alongside other network utilities.
