What is Network Detection and Response (NDR)?

Network Detection and Response (NDR) began gaining significant traction and recognition in 2013 and 2014. This period saw the rise of network traffic analysis (NTA), machine learning, and behavioral analytics, which laid the foundation for NDR as a specific category of cybersecurity technology. Since then, NDR has evolved to meet the growing need for more advanced network security. As cyber threats become more sophisticated and harder to detect, traditional security measures like firewalls and antivirus software are no longer enough. NDR helps by detecting and responding to these advanced, evasive threats that other tools miss. While there isn’t a single moment or individual to credit with the creation of NDR, its development can be traced back to the increasing reliance on NTA and behavioral analytics, driven by the need to counteract more complex cyberattacks. Redborder has been at the forefront of this evolution, delivering NDR solutions since the early days, helping organizations stay ahead of the curve in the fight against advanced threats.

NDR solutions empower organizations to spot unusual traffic that could signal command and control, lateral movement, exfiltration, and malware activity. By analyzing not only north-south traffic between internal hosts and the internet, but also east-west traffic between internal hosts (including servers), NDR provides a comprehensive view to accurately detect and stop attacks before they spread.

How NDR Elevates Your Security

NDR solutions enhance your network security with the following advanced capabilities:

• Identify What Others Overlook: NDR uses smart technology like machine learning to spot unusual network activity that traditional tools might miss.
• Establish a Security Baseline: NDR learns what normal network traffic looks like and alerts security teams if something out of the ordinary happens, making it easier to spot potential threats.
• Monitor All Activities: NDR keeps an eye on all network traffic, whether it’s coming in, going out, or moving around within the network. This means security teams can spot threats no matter where they start.
• Real-Time Threat Notifications: NDR quickly analyzes network data and sends real-time alerts, so security teams can jump into action fast when something’s wrong.
• Detecting and Neutralizing Threats: NDR links suspicious behavior to specific devices and tracks how threats spread, helping security teams find other infected devices and contain the threat quickly.
• Accelerate Response Times: NDR boosts incident response, either by helping security teams work faster or by automating some tasks, saving valuable time.

Redborder ensures your network remains secure while enabling faster and more efficient threat detection and response.

Attack Scenario: Defeating an APT

In June 2024, BlackCat ransomware struck, quickly encrypting files and stealing data across networks.

Redborder’s ML-powered NDR detected the threat in real time, spotting unusual network behavior linked to the ransomware’s rapid movement. It then automatically isolated infected devices, blocked malicious connections, and stopped the attack before it spread.

Unlike traditional tools, Redborder’s proactive, ML-driven defense stopped BlackCat ransomware before it could cause harm, proving the power of next-gen cybersecurity.
