Why do SOC teams need Network Detection and Response (NDR)?

It is our core philosophy at Vectra AI that hybrid attackers today are abusing identities to move laterally across the network to conduct an attack. NDR solutions are the only solution that closes visibility gaps across the expanding attack surface including network, cloud, identity, and SaaS.  It's important to note that the NDR market is rapidly evolving, driven by several key trends. Integration with AI and ML is becoming more sophisticated, enabling NDR solutions such as Vectra NDR to become even better at predicting malicious activity. It’s also important to call out that there is a growing convergence with extended detection and response (XDR) platforms, blurring the lines between NDR and XDR to offer more unified detection and response capabilities across the entire IT environment. Additionally, the focus on automation is intensifying, with NDR solutions streamlining incident response protocols to mitigate threats more efficiently.

What do SOC teams need from a Network Detection Response(NDR) solution?

Key Capabilities of Vectra NDR

  • Coverage that reduces exposure
       
    • AI-driven detections: Purpose-built AI detection models eliminate the need for writing custom detection rules.
    •  
    • Real-time visibility: High-fidelity alerts that reduce threat detection latency, providing SOC analysts with real-time visibility and the steps to remediate hybrid cloud risks.
    •  
    • Domain specific detections: Coverage for over 90% of MITRE ATT&CK and the most references for MITRE D3FEND providing SOC teams network, identity, and cloud threat visibility in one place
  • Clarity that breaks down silos
       
    • Reduced Noise: Higher-fidelity alerts that prioritize threat incidents - separating the urgent from the ordinary across the network.  
    •  
    • Entity-driven  analysis: Focus from individual events to network entities (hosts and accounts), reducing the time and resources needed to correlate behaviors and accurately assess associated risk.    
    •  
    • Streamlined investigation and hunting: Optimize SOC team workflows by contextualizing incidents without the need to constantly create/maintain      rules and tuning efforts
  • Control that maximizes  technology and SOC team talent
       
    • Intelligent controls: Identify network security gaps in real-time by tracking users and machine activities on the network
    •  
    • Optimize Security Stack: Interoperability with existing network and security infrastructure
    •  
    • Better monitoring of network environments: Automatically pinpoint attacker progression and lateral movement from data center networks (on-premises) to the cloud

In summary, organizations are emphasizing the need forNetwork Detection and Response (NDR) – and you can't have XDR without NDR. With that said, Vectra NDR is named the best in NDR in the market today.
