Network Detection and Response (NDR)

Network detection and response (NDR) is a real-time, automated threat detection and response solution for advanced cyber security attacks. The rise of NDR systems reflects the growing number of systemwide attacks by criminal actors ranging from hackers to nation-states.

NDR solution provides a comprehensive view into all enterprise devices, entities, and network traffic. NDR monitors and analyzes all traffic flows in real time and monitor and analyze not only traffic that enters and exits the environment, but also all traffic that moves laterally across the network.

What is Network Detection and Response (NDR)?

Network detection and response (NDR) is a cybersecurity solution that continuously monitors an organization’s network to detect cyber threats & anomalous behavior using non-signature-based tools or techniques and responds to these threats via native capabilities or by integrating with other cybersecurity tools/solutions.

How does NDR work?

NDR solutions continuously monitor and analyze raw enterprise network traffic to generate a baseline of normal network behavior. When suspicious network traffic patterns that deviate from this baseline are detected, NDR tools alert security teams to the potential presence of threats within their environment.
Highly performant NDR solutions use advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence tools to model adversary tactics, techniques and procedures that are mapped in the MITRE ATT&CK framework to detect attacker behaviors with high precision.

What does distinguish NDR?

While attackers may be able to fool firewalls and traditional IDS by masquerading as legitimate users and services and avoiding signature-based detection, they can’t escape NDR. That is because it is almost impossible for them to avoid certain key activities on the network, which NDR can detect.

What are the benefits of implementing the NDR?

  • Reduce Risk of Breach: Ensure your organization is never in the news for the wrong reasons. Use a unique combination of  security research and data science to detect, prioritize and hunt for in-progress attacks across your infrastructure.
  • Improve the Efficiency of Security Operations: Reduce attacker dwell time and improve ROI across your security program with automated prioritization of alerts.  Making sure that your analysts are working on the right incidents at the right time.
  • Achieve and Maintain Governance and Compliance: Reallocate resources from compliance to security-focused initiatives by accurately assessing and seamlessly  adapting to changes in security and regulatory standards.
  • Enable Security in the Cloud: Enable the business with full confidence in your visibility and security posture across your cloud footprint.

What is the difference between the firewall and NDR?

Firewalls are often described as the first line of defense against malicious attacks on a network. They operate at the perimeter of a network and block potentially dangerous traffic. Sometimes they are compared to security gates.

An NDR system operates differently from this kind of security system. It can be compared to a security camera, monitoring for intruders who slip through the gates and lurk within the network. An NDR also analyzes potential problems and initiates a network response to address any damage caused to the network.

NDR plays a pivotal role in securing your digital infrastructure. Threat history is generally available in three places: network, endpoint and logs.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) provides a detailed ground-level view of the processes running on a host and interactions between them.

Network Detection and Response (NDR) provides an aerial view of the interactions between all devices on the network.

Security teams then configure Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system to collect event log information from other systems and correlate between data sources.
