Remote workforces need network detection and response tools (NDR), but deploying an NDR that works with remote and hybrid environments is another story. Most NDRs are designed for on-premises networks. Unfortunately, that couldn’t be further from what the typical modern environment looks like.

If you are wondering whether your firm needs network detection and response (NDR), ask yourself this question: How often did your team come into the office in the last week? Probably more than they did last year, but almost certainly daily. This is what work now looks like for most people. And if this describes your organisation, you need an extra layer of defence inside your network perimeter. To see why, just look at what has happened to the network perimeter itself.

MITRE ATT&CK tools can help security teams to get started with MITRE’s renowned knowledge base. Created in 2013, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, which breaks down attacks in a consistent manner, has grown steadily in popularity. Today, it is an important resource for security teams working in businesses of all sizes and across all types of industries.

Getting the benefits of AI threat detection tools is becoming less of an option for security operation centres (SOCs). Last year, the UK experienced more cyber attacks than any other country in Europe. According to IBM’s X-Force Threat Intelligence Index report, nearly half (43%) of all cyber attacks in Europe targeted UK-based organisations.

It’s 2023, and security cap-ex spending is at an all-time high and forecast to keep growing. Thanks to frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, we also know more about how threat actors function than ever. There is no shortage of security solutions either – the average organisation uses around 60 within its environment. But cyber attacks still do hundreds of billions of dollars of damage annually. So, what’s going wrong? The answer has three parts. Firstly, cybercrime has gotten a lot easier.

Managed NDR is network detection and response (NDR) combined with an outsourced SOC (Security Operations Center) monitoring and response layer. The meaning of “managed” in managed NDR will vary from provider to provider. Some managed NDR services will remediate threats for you, while others will stop at alerting and assisting your internal IT team. Similarly, the capabilities of the “NDR” part of managed NDR will also differ depending on who offers it.

Automated incident response can help security teams identify and respond to cyber threats faster. When a breach happens, delays equal costs. Today, a cyber attack happens every 39 seconds, and the global average total cost of a data breach is the highest it’s been in 17 years. In this environment, a low response time is crucial to reducing cyber risk.
