This month, we’re exploring an important reality of modern cybersecurity: attackers look for the gaps between your existing defenses. From endpoint blind spots to threats that move beyond the perimeter, independent network detection remains essential for exposing what other controls may miss. You’ll also find the latest updates to Suricata Language Server 2.0, our free open-source tool for detection engineers, along with an invitation to connect with us in person.
When Endpoint and Perimeter Controls Miss Threats, NDR Responds
Endpoint tools and perimeter defenses remain essential, but attackers continue to find ways around them—through disabled agents, stolen credentials, misconfigurations, encrypted traffic, and lateral movement within the network. That’s why organizations need more than basic network visibility. They need Network Detection and Response (NDR) to continuously analyze network activity, uncover suspicious behavior, and reveal threats that other controls may miss.
Our latest blog posts explore why NDR has become a critical layer of modern threat detection and investigation.
Attackers increasingly bypass traditional perimeter defenses through valid accounts, cloud access, and encrypted channels. This article explains how NDR helps expose malicious activity throughout your network and gives defenders the evidence needed to respond faster. Read more >>>
Not every system can run an endpoint agent. IoT devices, OT environments, network infrastructure, legacy systems, and unmanaged assets often sit outside EDR coverage, creating blind spots attackers can exploit. Explore how NDR analyzes network activity to uncover suspicious behavior where endpoint tools have limited reach. Read more >>>
