Can your NDR solution protect you from zero-day threats before you become the next headline?

This discussion will explore the salient requirements for NDR and other approaches as critical cybersecurity technologies. Investments in NDR, SIEM, EDR, and perimeter prevention alone are not enough to stop modern-day cyber-attacks. These tools lack network context, a fundamental requirement for achieving cybersecurity. NDR bolsters every phase of a SOC's maturity and an organization's maturity model. That said, not all NDR is created equal. This discussion will expose the characteristics of Advanced NDR that are most important to your cybersecurity operations.

Examples of NDR Characteristics Explored in this Discussion:

• Manage packet-based data
• Conduct full packet capture at scale
• Monitor encrypted traffic

The incompleteness of the network data in your current cybersecurity stack could be decreasing your overall efficiency and effectiveness as a cyber organization.
