Network Detection and Response products analyze network traffic to identify threats that endpoint agents miss, such as lateral movement, command-and-control communications, and data exfiltration. NDR uses machine learning and behavioral analysis on network metadata and packet captures. Products include Darktrace, ExtraHop, Vectra AI, and Corelight.
NDR provides a detection layer that is independent of endpoint agents, catching threats on unmanaged devices and in east-west traffic. SOC analysts investigate NDR alerts for network-based threats. Security engineers deploy and tune NDR sensors across network segments. Understanding NDR capabilities helps security architects design defense-in-depth detection strategies.
