NDR – The Right Solution for Detecting Complex Attacks
Network Detect and Respond (NDR) fills the need to monitor network traffic looking for anomalous behavior that is indicative of attacks. It is a great way to detect complex attacks not detectable in other ways and respond to those attacks.
NDR Solutions Well Established, but Little Owned
NDR solutions have been around for a while but because of price, hardware requirements and complexity, was not truly available to small and mid-sized companies.
NDR Fills an Important Detect & Respond Void in Security
NDR fills a need to have more ways to detect and respond to complex security attacks like APTs, ransomware, zero day and other evasive attacks. Relying on EDR leaves a hole in the ability to detect these attacks.
NDR is NOT the Same as EDR or SIEMs
SIEMs have a broader detect and respond scope, but they do not do what NDRs do… monitor the networks for anomalous traffic. SIEMS are a great top level D&R solution, but SIEMS rely on great security solutions like EDRs for endpoint security and NDR for network monitoring, detection and response. Whichever solutions you choose, the are ALL complementary, not even similar.
What has been Lacking is Affordable NDRs
Like a lot of products over time, then you can take a great solution and then make it affordable and easier to consume, it then becomes a mainstream product. This has been the challenge of expensive, hardware intensive NDR solution in the past.
