Protecting organizations from cyberattacks is a common mission among all cybersecurity vendors, and specifically for Network Detection and Response (NDR) providers. Having a deep understanding of network cyberattacks and how to stop them is essential to achieving this mission. It requires expertise in understanding the challenges organizations face as they strive to protect themselves in an era where network attack surface is expanding.
Adversaries are innovating at a pace that rivals many of the world’s most successful tech companies. To stand out in this crowd NDR providers must have an intense focus on solving the challenges security teams face today with continuous innovation and R&D.
Vectra AI has been put to the test against Darktrace in the NDR market and has been able to cut through the sea of competitors (including Darktrace) and come out on top, so what are the top reasons customers are migrating to Vectra AI from Darktrace?
Reason #1: Value of Vectra AI for Organizations of Any Size
- Vectra AI: The Trusted NDR for Global Organizations: Vectra AI serves some of the largest Fortune 500 companies globally while Darktrace’s customer base primarily comprises small to mid-size companies. Darktrace struggles to scale at the level required for large enterprises. Vectra NDR has also been recognized as a market leader by Gartner Peer Insights, IDC, GigaOM, Spark, and other analyst firms - solidifying Vectra NDR as the standard bearer for NDR solutions.
- Vectra AI provides over 90% coverage of the MITRE ATT&CK Framework including robust protection for on-premises, air-gapped IoT/OT environments, and IaaS. Additionally, Vectra AI seamlessly integrates with the leading EDR, SIEM, SOAR, web/email, firewall, virtualization, and packet capture vendors - closing the gaps that Darktrace enables.
Reason #2: Vectra AI’s Signal Fidelity Excellence vs. the Competition
- Signal Vs. Alert – Vectra AI is the only NDR powered by Attack Signal Intelligence, utilizing over 150+ AI/ML detection models. The solution breaks down siloes by correlating alerts across data sources wherever they ingest data (whether host or machine) including (network, public cloud, and identity), providing precise host attribution. This enables security teams to cut through the noise and respond quickly to network attackers.
- Detects unknown and known attacks – Darktrace does not use rules/signatures but rather relies on what their solution deems to be “normal” behavior. Essentially Darktrace utilizes an anomaly-based approach to detection coupled with AI to categorize these anomalies. This method, while innovative in its time, is now somewhat dated - often lacking fidelity to drive urgent response actions. Vectra AI delivers the highest fidelity alerts that reveals all behavior of a host or entity (for both machine and identity) across the network in real-time to detect even zero-day threats that have never been seen before - while reducing MTTD (meant time to detect) and MTTR (mean time to respond).
Reason #3: Deploying Vectra AI is Fast and Painless
- Vectra AI: Flexible Deployment Options for any Infrastructure – Vectra AI can be deployed right out of the box and instantly provides unified visibility in a single UI. It has flexible management practices, with no need for additional expertise.
- Available 24/7 with Vectra AI for Continuous Security - Migrating to Vectra AI is seamless and intuitive, with the option for additional support from our MXDR team to ensure smooth deployment and continuous operations - 24/7.
