Network visibility your detection content can act on.
East-west traffic, encrypted-channel insight, and tuned detection that survives contact with your real network — not a default rule pack copied from the vendor wiki.
Network Detection & Response (NDR) is the discipline of seeing what is actually moving across your network and acting on it before an adversary completes their objective. Endpoint and log telemetry alone miss east-west lateral movement, encrypted command-and-control, and protocol abuse on internal segments. NDR closes those gaps.
What changes for your organization:
- Lateral movement gets caught while it is still lateral — not when it has reached crown-jewel data.
- Detection content is tuned to your traffic, not vendor-default rules.
- Encrypted traffic gets analyzed without breaking the use cases that depend on it.
- Response playbooks are validated against real detection paths.
- The MTTR conversation moves from anecdote to dashboard.
A five-phase methodology engineered for Network Detection & Response.
1 — Visibility Audit
Map every network segment, sensor coverage gap, and east-west blind spot. Inventory what you can and cannot currently see.
2 — Sensor Placement
Design sensor architecture for the traffic that matters. Right tool, right segment, right TAP/SPAN topology.
3 — Detection Tuning
Replace default rule packs with detection content tuned to your traffic, your protocols, and your tolerance for noise.
4 — Response Playbooks
Connect every detection class to a documented response action with owners, decision criteria, and escalation paths.
5 — Continuous Refinement
Establish the tuning, content-development, and metrics loop that keeps the program effective as your environment changes.
- Network visibility map with documented segments, sensor coverage, and prioritized gaps
- Sensor placement architecture and TAP/SPAN topology
- Tuned detection content tied to MITRE ATT&CK techniques relevant to your sector
- Validated response playbooks with documented decision criteria
- Coverage and MTTR dashboards for executive reporting
- Continuous-improvement charter with content cadence and metrics
Platform-agnostic
We work with the NDR platform that fits your environment — including the one you already own. No reseller incentives.
Tuning depth, not default packs
We have replaced more vendor-default rule packs than we have deployed. Detection content is the deliverable, not the platform.
Integration with the rest of your program
NDR detection content informs your threat intel, MDR, and IR work.
