Vectra AI Network Detection and Response
NDR tooling focuses on monitoring network traffic to detect and respond to malicious activities. Unlike traditional security tools that rely heavily on predefined signatures, NDR solutions employ advanced analytics and machine learning to identify abnormal behaviours and potential threats in real-time. This proactive approach enables organisations to detect threats that might otherwise go unnoticed, providing a critical extra layer of defence.
The Vectra AI platform is designed to protect modern networks from sophisticated cyber attacks. Leveraging advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning, it provides real-time visibility and threat detection across network, identity, and cloud environments.
At the core of the platform is Attack Signal Intelligence, which analyses data in real-time to identify compromised systems and accounts. This capability enables security teams to detect and respond to threats swiftly, reducing the time that attackers have to cause damage.
The platform offers extensive coverage across various environments, including on-premises networks, cloud services like AWS and Microsoft Azure, and identity systems such as Entra ID. By monitoring both north-south and east-west traffic, Vectra AI ensures comprehensive threat detection, even within encrypted traffic.
Vectra AI’s integration capabilities allow seamless incorporation with existing security tools and workflows. It supports integrations with SIEMs, EDRs, and SOAR platforms, enhancing efficiency and improving visibility to prioritise real threats which, in turn, can reduce alert noise by up to 99 per cent and enable incident response.
