Full PCAP, process auditing and centralized logs are not only a thing, they have been for decades.

It just simply isn't worth the investment for CIO/CTO/CISO types because it isn't sexy. To say it's impossible is just factually inaccurate.

I know more than a few places doing 40gbps and 100gbps full packet capture for 30+ days. And relatively speaking, the investment isn't that large (for tens of petabytes it isn't as expensive as you might think).

We did this 5+ years ago at a managed hosting company, just for 3 days worth of data. Was still invaluable for figuring out complex events.
