The Witnesses
Martyria — Security Monitoring
Your network has witnesses around the clock. Martyria is SoftSol’s independent security monitoring platform — it watches network traffic for attacks, suspicious behaviour, and signs of compromise without touching your client systems.

Continuous monitoring
Why Martyria?
Antivirus and a firewall are essential — but they protect individual devices and control what traffic is allowed. Martyria adds what they cannot: continuous, independent monitoring of what is actually happening on your network, with evidence stored outside your environment.
Network-level visibility
See probes, break-in attempts, and unusual outbound connections — not just malware on individual machines.
Evidence that survives breach
Logs and alerts are forwarded to independent SoftSol infrastructure the moment they are generated — attackers cannot wipe them on the way out.
Zero-touch enrolment
Certified SoftSol MikroTik routers are enrolled automatically — evidence collection starts with no client-side configuration.
Engineer-reviewed alerts
SoftSol SOC engineers review alerts with context from all evidence streams — informed response, not guesswork.
Three streams of evidence
Traffic flow records
NetFlow / IPFIX summaries of every connection — inbound and outbound — even when content is encrypted.
Live packet inspection
Inbound internet traffic mirrored to Suricata IDS with 66,000+ attack signatures on the Elisha sensor node.
Router event logs
Firewall, authentication, and admin events forwarded via syslog — a separate layer that does not depend on packet inspection.
What The Witnesses look for
Active attacks
Port scans, exploit attempts, brute-force logins, and vulnerability probes caught in real time.
Malware indicators
Known delivery patterns, ransomware file transfers, and malicious downloads from Emerging Threats rules.
Compromised devices
Command-and-control connections and devices quietly calling home to external servers.
Data exfiltration
Unusual outbound data volumes to unexpected destinations — even over encrypted channels.
Router compromise
Failed logins, admin access anomalies, and firewall events from syslog correlation.
Known bad destinations
Traffic to blocklisted IPs and domains associated with malware, phishing, and botnets.
