As cyber security risks develop and grow more complex, organizations have to be proactive. With the Gartner SOC Visibility Triad—which integrates SIEM, EDR, and NDR—security teams can identify and handle advanced threats. The present work addresses how NDR enhances SOC Visibility Triad threat detection and response.
Recognizing NDR
Using well-placed sensors, the network detection and response network security system tracks and examines all network traffic—including east/west and north/south. NDR responds automatically or alerts security operators for further investigation when aberrant traffic patterns are identified. For security teams, NDR’s threat correlation streamlines forensic investigation, threat hunting, and risk-reducing practices. Gartner Inc. reports that NDR uses “non-signature-based techniques” to find out all kinds of suspicious traffic on any of the enterprise networks. A constant model of typical network activity from raw traffic and flow records drives NDR methodologies.
Why can NDR be useful?
Organizations now deal with increasing risks. To evade security detection and wreak greater damage, threat actors continually raise their TTPs. However, fast digital transformation in recent years has expanded companies’ attack surface, therefore providing additional opportunities for attackers to take advantage of it. Globally, security events have increased by 75% over the previous five years; SMBs are targeted 61% of the time.
Understanding that no solution offers 100% protection can help you to improve network security. Qualified security professionals and several security solutions have to cooperate. One of the foundations of the Gartner SOC Visibility Triad, NDR is increasingly indispensable in security operation centers (SOCs) to identify advanced threats. Use it to get ultimate safety and security.
Clear Network visibility
Network Detection and Response (NDR) drives the SOC Visibility Triad’s improvement in network visibility and incident response times. By analyzing network traffic for unexpected patterns, linking data from several sources to grasp how threats arrived and advanced across the network, and automatically reacting to found threats, NDR enhances SIEM and EDR. By including NDR in their security strategy, companies can reduce security vulnerabilities, identify and react to sophisticated attacks, and protect assets from the always-shifting threat scene.
