Network Detection and Response
Network detection and response (NDR) solutions monitor network traffic for threats that bypass perimeter defenses. This guide examines NDR deployment for enhanced threat detection.
NDR Capabilities
NDR solutions analyze network traffic using behavioral analytics, machine learning, and threat intelligence to detect anomalies, lateral movement, data exfiltration, and advanced threats.
- Behavioral analysis and anomaly detection
- Machine learning threat detection
- Lateral movement identification
- Data exfiltration detection
- Encrypted traffic analysis
Deployment Architecture
Deploy NDR sensors at strategic network points including internet gateways, data center entrances, and between network segments. Consider cloud workload monitoring.
Alert Management
NDR generates numerous alerts requiring effective triage. Integrate with SIEM, prioritize alerts by severity and context, and automate response for known threat patterns.
Threat Hunting
Use NDR for proactive threat hunting. Analyze historical traffic patterns, investigate anomalies, and develop detection rules based on findings.
Conclusion
NDR provides essential visibility for detecting advanced threats within networks. Effective deployment requires strategic sensor placement, alert management, and integration with broader security operations.
