NDR, or Network Detection and Response, is a cyber security solution used to detect and respond to threats in enterprise networks.
The NDR ensures the security of networks, and everything related to them.
This includes the network, cloud(s), endpoints, servers, users and applications.
NDR solutions continuously monitor and analyse network traffic to generate a baseline of normal network behaviour. When suspicious network traffic patterns that deviate from this baseline are detected, NDR tools alert security teams to the possible presence of threats in their environment.
The advantages of the NDR include:
Early threat detection: The NDR uses advanced threat detection techniques, such as real-time traffic analysis and machine learning, to identify threats in networks at an early stage. This allows organisations to take action before threats become serious incidents.
Complete network visibility: The NDR provides a complete view of network activity, allowing organisations to better monitor and understand what is happening in their network environment. This is essential to identify anomalous behaviour that could be indicative of a threat.
Reduced response time: The NDR automates threat detection and response, which accelerates an organisation’s ability to respond to security incidents. This can help minimise the time of exposure to a threat and reduce the impact on the business.
Improved operational efficiency: By automating much of the detection and response process, the NDR frees security teams from repetitive tasks and allows them to focus on higher value activities such as threat investigation and security posture improvement.
Other important advantages of the NDR are:
Regulatory compliance: The NDR can help organisations meet regulatory compliance requirements by providing visibility and control over network activity and enabling detailed security incident reporting.
Protection against unknown threats: The NDR is effective in detecting unknown threats or zero-day attacks by analysing network behaviour for anomalies, rather than relying solely on known malware signatures.
Integration with other security solutions: The NDR can be integrated with other security solutions, such as security information and event management (SIEM) systems and intrusion prevention systems (IPS), for increased responsiveness and visibility.
Adaptability: The NDR is scalable and can adapt to the changing needs of an organization as it grows and evolves.
An NDR security solution must integrate automatic response capabilities.
Allowing you to prevent an attack before the damage is done, rather than responding after the fact
In a nutshell,
The NDR is a valuable tool in enterprise cyber security, providing early threat detection, complete network visibility, response automation and many other benefits to protect an organisation’s networks and data.
