An NDR (Network Detection and Response) system integrated into a Central Threat Analytics appliance with a Network Probe is a specialized cybersecurity architecture designed to monitor, detect, and neutralize threats within an organization’s internal network traffic (East-West traffic).
Unlike traditional firewalls that focus on the perimeter, this setup provides deep visibility into what is happening inside the network to catch “silent” threats like lateral movement or data exfiltration.
Risk mitigation is another significant benefit of NDR that stems from the visibility it provides. NDR helps organizations mitigate risk in a couple of different ways. For one, certain threat actor behaviors that take place in the early stages of an attack, such as command and control beaconing, network discovery and enumeration, lateral movement, and domain escalation, are best detected on the network.
For another, industry-leading NDR tools are capable of automatically discovering and classifying all assets connecting to and communicating with the network. This gives security and IT teams visibility into shadow IT and unmanaged devices, along with a much clearer picture of their organization’s attack surface and risk exposure. You can’t manage what you can’t see.
