Definition

Network Detection and Response (NDR) is a cybersecurity solution that focuses on monitoring network traffic to detect and respond to threats. It leverages machine learning and behavioral analytics to identify anomalies and potential security incidents in real-time. NDR systems are designed to provide visibility into network activities, enabling security teams to quickly identify, investigate, and mitigate threats before they can cause significant harm.
