Network Detection & Response

 Network Detection and response (NDR) is a cybersecurity
solution that continuously monitors an organization’s
network to detect cyber threats & anomalous behavior using
non-signature-based tools or techniques and responds to
What is NDR these threats via native capabilities or by integrating with
other cybersecurity tools/solutions.
&
How does it work It use advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence tools to
model adversary tactics, techniques and procedures that are mapped
in the MITRE ATT&CK framework to detect attacker behaviors with
high precision. They surface security-relevant context, extract high-
fidelity data, correlate events across time, users, and applications to
drastically reduce time and effort spent in investigations. They also
stream security detections and threat correlations to security
information event management (SIEM) solutions for comprehensive
security assessments.
NDR plays a pivotal role in securing your digital infrastructure. Threat history is
generally available in three places: network, endpoint and logs

• Network Detection and Response (NDR)

provides an aerial view of the interactions between all devices on the network.

• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

system to collect event log information from other systems and correlate
between data sources.
• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
provides a detailed ground-level view of the processes running on a host and
interactions between them.

The Evolution of Network
Detection and Response
• IDS were the first generation of NDR solutions. They used rule-based and signature-
based detection to identify known threats. IDS were effective at detecting common
attacks, but they were also prone to false positives and could be easily evaded by
attackers.

• Next-generation intrusion detection systems (NGIDS) were developed to address the

limitations of IDS. NGIDS used a combination of signature-based detection, anomaly-
based detection, and behavioral analysis to identify both known and unknown threats.
NGIDS were more effective at detecting sophisticated attacks than IDS, but they were
still complex and difficult to manage.

• NDR solutions take the capabilities of NGIDS to the next level. They use AI and
machine learning to analyze network traffic and identify patterns and anomalies that
may indicate an attack. NDR solutions can detect a wide range of threats, including
known and unknown malware, intrusions, and data leakage. NDR solutions are also
easier to manage than NIDS and NGIDS.
