🗄️Data Retention & ArchivalSecurity & compliance solution

Keep the record.
For years, not days.

Live capture rolls over as new data arrives. Long-term archival keeps what you must not lose — raw packets and enriched data preserved, untouched, for audit, compliance, and forensics whenever you need to reach back.

How NIKSUN delivers it

A vault behind your live lake.

NetBin

NetBin is NIKSUN's long-term data warehouse. Move the raw PCAPs and enriched NKW datasets you must retain into NetBin and they stay put — write-once, never overwritten by new capture — independent of your live retention window. Store data exported from any NIKSUN instance or uploaded from elsewhere, and reach back into it for investigations and audits years later.

What you get

Retention without compromise.

♾️

Write-once archive

Preserved independent of live capture — new data never overwrites your retained record.

📥

Raw & enriched

Archive raw PCAPs or enriched NKW metadata — from NIKSUN instances or external sources.

⚖️

Audit-ready

A defensible long-term record for retention mandates and back-in-time forensics.

Who needs it

When days of retention isn't enough.

Breaches surface months after the fact. Regulators demand years of records. Investigations reach back further than any live window. Long-term archival makes sure the data is still there.

Compliance

Meet multi-year retention mandates with a defensible record.

Forensics

Reconstruct incidents that began long before they were found.

Audit

Produce timestamped evidence on demand, years later.

Legal hold

Preserve specific datasets untouched for as long as required.

Archival that's part of the platform.

Because NetBin holds the same raw and enriched data your live platform produces, an investigation can move seamlessly from today's lake to years of archive — no separate tool, no foreign format, no gaps.
