NDR

Network Detection and Response

Definition

Network Detection and Response is a security solution that monitors network traffic in real time, using behavioral analytics and machine learning to detect threats that bypass traditional perimeter defenses.

Buyer context

NDR solutions analyze raw network packets and flow data to identify anomalous activity such as lateral movement, data exfiltration, and command-and-control communications. Unlike signature-based tools, NDR focuses on behavioral patterns, making it effective against zero-day exploits and advanced persistent threats. NDR is often deployed alongside EDR and SIEM as part of a layered detection strategy.
