Network Detection & Response

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.

Vectra AI has more references in MITRE D3FEND than any other vendor, and covers more than 90% of relevant MITRE ATT&CK techniques. For this reason, more than 1,500 organizations worldwide — including many in the Fortune 500 — trust Vectra NDR to find and stop attacks other solutions can’t.

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.

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.

Vectra AI uses more than 150+ behavior-based detection models spanning network, identity, and cloud. These models detect novel attack patterns and zero-day exploits by analyzing deviations from normal behavior across various attack surfaces. 

Vectra AI provides comprehensive visibility into the entire network infrastructure, focusing on all network traffic — regardless of the host or identity data source — to accurately distinguish between malicious behaviors and routine network activities. We detect both known and unknown hybrid cloud threats by providing detailed insights into detection processes through enriched metadata, empowering security teams to understand all the data behind an alert. With Vectra AI’s 80% threshold, our AI-driven detection models prioritize alerts deemed to be critical and urgent — instead of simply showing what’s different. This enables security teams to find and stop emerging threats before damage is done.

Yes. As an integral part of the Vectra AI Platform, Vectra NDR detects and stops cyber attackers moving across network (including on-premises, cloud networks, remote networks, and OT networks), identity (both human and machine), and cloud (including cloud infrastructure, cloud control plane, and cloud applications). In addition, Vectra AI integrates with your existing security tools to provide holistic visibility and comprehensive coverage across your entire infrastructure.

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.

Our flexible deployment options are designed to meet each customer’s unique needs. You can have data processed and stored on-premises (including airgapped environments) or in the cloud, depending on your preferences. Vectra AI reliably detects command and control, exfiltration, brute force, recon, and lateral movement — even when encryption is present. We do this by using AI to analyze traffic patterns to identify attacker behaviors. All without the need for inline deployment. In addition, Vectra AI analyzes encrypted traffic for you, eliminating the need for costly, intrusive, or complicated decryption. Vectra AI also adheres to strict global compliance standards, including GDPR, CCPA, FFIEC, NYDFS, SEC, FINRA, and GLBA.

Vectra AI delivers behavior-based AI detections for OT and IoT environments, providing visibility into lateral movement and privilege abuse across hybrid networks. These capabilities integrate seamlessly with existing OT solutions, enhancing overall detection and response without introducing silos or compromising operational efficiency.
