Network Detection and Response (NDR) Tools

Network Detection and Response

What is Network Detection and Response Tools?

Network detection and response (NDR) solutions analyze the traffic of an organization’s network, devices, and entities, to identify and report security threats. NDR solutions function by observing east-west network activity and determine anomalous behaviour by comparing suspicious traffic to established baselines. The monitoring of users, devices, where a network has been accessed from, and data sharing is performed in real-time (or near real-time), with automated detection, forensic analysis, and remediation built-in to the solution. The forefront of the NDR software market sees solutions that have ML-driven detection and response. This functionality enables the solution to continually adapt to shifting network traffic baselines and become more acute with threat actor detection over time. These solutions also provide behavioural analytics and reporting, with out-of-the-box templates and/or customizable features.
