The problem
Network vulnerabilities are here to stay
The attack surface is expanding
Networks are not limited to just data centers — security teams need a robust NDR to close visibility gaps across on-premises, IoT/OT, and hybrid cloud environments.
Too much noise, not enough signal
To keep operations running as intended, security teams need a way to precisely pinpoint all threats and attacker behaviors as fast as possible.
Legacy solutions are not enough
Network attacks are still prevalent — but relying heavily on legacy security solutions and their controls is no longer effective.
The Solution
The world leader in network detection and response
With Attack Signal Intelligence to find attacks early and fast, only Vectra AI provides the coverage, clarity, and control SOCs need to defend against modern network attackers.

Fully cover high-profile network attack surfaces. Protect your on-premises networks, air-gapped IoT/OT environments, and IaaS — all while reducing cost and complexity.
Clarity
Total network clarity
Surface the most critical and urgent threats anywhere in your network. As the only NDR solution with Attack Signal Intelligence, Vectra NDR reveals all behavior of a host or entity across the network in-real time.
control
Complete network control
Experience the power of AI-enabled network controls that won’t disrupt business operations. Protect your network right out of the box — no steep learning curve involved. Plus, follow current compliance guidelines without any maintenance required.
NDR Differentiators
Vectra NDR is right for your security team if…
You’re tired of alerts
Vendors that claim to provide more detections are just creating more work for analysts. Instead, Vectra AI uses Attack Signal Intelligence to isolate urgent threats and provide the details you actually need.
You’re looking to streamline investigations
Vectra NDR is built for advanced investigations with forensic attack details, customizable filters, and robust query-building in one place — no need for other tools.
You need better ways to respond
Vectra NDR gives you multiple ways to shut down infected hosts and devices to reduce risks and recovery.
You don’t want to rely solely on signatures
Powerful AI-driven detections identify previously unknown attacker behaviors in real time — no need to wait for signatures to be available first.
You need to stay fast and compliant
Vectra NDR exposes attackers hiding in encrypted traffic — without decrypting your data. We won’t slow network performance or increase your risk of violating privacy laws.
You don’t want to be on your own
Unlike other NDR vendors, Vectra NDR backs you up with a team of analyst reinforcements to keep your network safe.

customers
1,500+ organizations stop attacks with Attack Signal Intelligence
“Since deploying Vectra AI, our team can monitor the entire A&M System network for cyberattackers and run the SOC with incredible efficiency, despite having an extremely lean staff.”
Saved $7M while speeding up detection
“Vectra captures metadata at scale from all network traffic and enriches it with a lot of useful security information. Getting context up-front tells us where and what to investigate”
Responded 20% faster with 25% less work
“Over the course of about half a year, we have built a system that allows us to supervise the network, which is connected to about 20,000 terminals centered on the five major bases, in real time.”

Frequently Asked Questions
We use EDR and other tools — why do I need NDR?
Endpoint detection and response covers approximately 40% of the typical enterprise environment, leaving much of your network exposed. More importantly, modern attackers have proven ways to evade EDR altogether — and traditional tools like IDS and PCAP are no match for modern identity-based network attacks. Vectra NDR provides real-time line of sight for post-compromise attackers as they move across your data center, hybrid, and IoT/OT networks. For more details, download the exposure gap analysis report: Where Attackers Expose Beyond EDR and Firewall Controls.
Why switch to Vectra NDR?
Vectra NDR may be for you if your current solution:
- Creates so much noise defenders can’t keep pace with attackers
- Fails to prioritize in-progress attacks that pose a real danger
- Takes too much time to maintain
Many customers previously used other network detection and response vendors before switching to Vectra NDR for these same reasons. It reduces alert noise by 80% or more, with 150+ AI/ML detection models to automatically analyze, triage, correlate and validate attacks so you know exactly where to focus time and talent.
What makes Vectra NDR different?
Vectra NDR empowers defenders to outrun attackers in ways other solutions can’t. More specifically, SOC teams typically choose Vectra NDR for three key reasons:
1. No decryption needed
Decryption is an operational burden that only slows you down — we don’t need to decrypt to detect attacks. While other vendors require it, Vectra NDR doesn’t use it.
Instead, we developed a unique approach for detecting threats inside encrypted SSL/TLS 1.3 traffic to ensure uninterrupted network performance — and help keep you compliant with privacy laws.
2. 80% less alert noise
Solutions that notify you of every anomaly don’t just make your job harder. They also make it easier for attackers to hide. It’s why 97% of security analysts worry they’ll miss a security event because it’s buried under a flood of false positives.
Instead, Vectra NDR detects privilege abuse to deliver real attack signal. Privileged access analytics (PAA) closely follow accounts most useful to attackers, revealing the handful of security events that actually matter.
3. 24/7 support
With Vectra NDR, you’ll never be on your own. We back you up with a team of dedicated specialists to keep your network safe and clean.
What will Vectra NDR add to our existing stack?
The Attack Signal Intelligence behind Vectra NDR can be easily integrated into your existing processes and workflows:
- Ingest Vectra AI’s entity scoring, network metadata, or log output directly into your SIEM through standard Syslog or via API to Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, Google Chronicle.
- Send Vectra AI’s prioritized alerts to SOAR playbooks and platforms including Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, and Google Chronicle.
- Integrate our network, identity, or cloud signal and context with your existing EDR tools like Crowdstrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender, Sentinel One.
We use a specific security framework — will Vectra NDR support it?
Yes, Vectra NDR aligns to your security framework of choice:
