Vectra AI vs. Corelight
Corelight DIY leaves you vulnerable — stop active cyberattacks with AI-driven detection instead.
Why choose Vectra AI over Corelight?
3x more threats identified
Corelight doesn’t provide AI-driven threat detection. Vectra AI does. Our advanced Attack Signal Intelligence™ is so powerful it’s been known to help SOC analysts proactively identify 3x more threats.
38x less workload
With Corelight, you’ll have the extra work of building and maintaining your own threat detection tool. Vectra AI handles all automations for you and can help reduce analyst workloads 38x.
80% less alert noise
Vectra AI eliminates thousands of false positives to reduce alert noise 80% or more — and extends your team’s capacity with Vectra Managed Detection and Response. With Corelight, you’re on your own.
“Our work is much more efficient with Vectra. We can detect, respond and investigate what’s important.”

Signal Clarity
Vectra’s Attack Signal Intelligence relieves SOC analysts from tuning detections and triaging events.
Corelight can’t detect unknown threats the way Vectra AI does. It doesn’t offer prioritization, advanced investigations or managed detection and response (MDR) services.
Intelligent Control
Only Vectra AI provides the native integrations analysts need to investigate and stop attacks at any stage of progression.
Corelight uses Zeek to support detections and integrate third-party intelligence feeds. In other words, Corelight has no native response capabilities or AI-driven detection.
