Resources & materials

The product overview, industry editions and reporting guides behind proactive forensic monitoring and continuous forensic observability for Windows Infrastructure.

The problem

Breaches raise questions your tools can't answer

Enterprises are saturated with alerts and logs, yet after an incident the questions that matter go unanswered — while regulators start the clock.

Breaches go unproven

Investigations are slow, manual and inconclusive, because nobody can say for certain what changed on the affected machines.

Unknown threats slip through

Signature- and rule-based detection can only catch what it already knows, so new and unknown threats get through.

Root cause stays unclear

Without pre-incident change tracking, a symptom gets suppressed but the cause — and the recurrence — remains.

Reporting on deadline

NIS2 requires an early warning within 24 hours and a notification within 72, CIRCIA is coming in the US, and leaders can be held personally liable.

An estimated ~160,000 entities are in scope of NIS2, and 300,000+ are expected to be covered by CIRCIA once in force, yet only 14% of companies are NIS2 ready (CRN).

The Tracknosis Overview

How Tracknosis shows every file and registry change on your Windows machines, rated for risk, with hash-verified evidence and report drafts, closing the gap that logs alone leave open.

What's inside

  • The problem, and why now: alert fatigue, slow investigations, hard deadlines
  • Six capabilities that show what changed, how risky it is, and how to prove it
  • How Tracknosis works with the platforms you already run

In short

Your SIEM and monitoring tools record what they were set up to watch.

Tracknosis shows what actually changed on your Windows machines, with the evidence to prove it.

Cisco Edition

From Telemetry to Evidence — on Cisco AI Infrastructure

A joint enterprise solution whitepaper for CISOs, CIOs, heads of security operations and infrastructure and risk leaders: deploying Tracknosis as an AI forensic investigator that runs inside your own estate on Cisco AI PODs or Cisco AI in a Box — sovereign compute for the one AI workload that genuinely cannot run in a public cloud.

What's inside

  • Why forensic investigation must run inside your own estate — data sovereignty, regulatory compulsion and cost concentration
  • The joint architecture: Cisco supplies the sovereign AI platform, Tracknosis supplies the forensic evidence layer
  • From forensic timeline to regulatory submission across the NIS2, CIRCIA, SOCI and CCSPA 24-72-30 lifecycle
  • The business case, platform-tier sizing, and protecting the SIEM and observability investment you already have

Cisco Edition

Cisco AI PODs give you a sovereign, on-premises AI platform. Tracknosis adds the forensic evidence layer: every file and registry change on your Windows estate, with hash-verified evidence that AI can draft from and your team can stand behind.

CISO Edition

The CISO's Evidence Problem

Written for security leaders reporting to the board: why proving what happened — not just detecting it — is now the harder problem, and the one with your name on it. A practical guide to closing the evidence gap before the regulator asks.

What's inside

  • How the role has changed: breach-assumed, personal liability, and boards that want a defensible position at hour 24
  • Why your SIEM and observability stack can't answer what happened, why, and who was affected
  • The 24·72·30 clock and named-executive liability across NIS2, CIRCIA, SOCI and CCSPA
  • The consequences of getting it wrong — NIS2 fines up to €10m or 2% of turnover, temporary bans on named executives, and CIRCIA's subpoena path
  • Building the board business case — MTTI/MTTR, cost concentration and cyber-insurance — plus a CISO's evaluation checklist

CISO Edition

Your board holds you accountable. Your regulator holds a stopwatch. Tracknosis gives you defensible evidence of what changed on your Windows machines, rated for risk, with report drafts your team can review and put their name to.

Utilities Edition

  • NIS2 & critical-infrastructure scope
  • Forensic visibility of Windows systems across IT and operations
  • Unknown-threat & malicious-change detection
  • Evidence and report drafts for 24- and 72-hour deadlines
