EC News DeskSecureworks launches Secureworks Taegis™ NDR to thwart threat actors moving through networks. With the rise of cloud apps and remote work, network traffic has surged by over 20% from 2023 to 2024. Adversaries exploit this surge to evade detection. Taegis NDR uses AI to uncover hidden threats, combining threat prevention, detection, and response to stop malicious activity on networks.
Secureworks data, from its global customer base, indicates that Taegis NDR can block 99% of identified malicious activity on networks. With threat actors increasingly obfuscating their behavior, traditional network controls like IDPs and firewalls are struggling to keep up. A multi-layered cybersecurity approach is essential. Taegis NDR offers comprehensive visibility into internal and external network traffic, crucial for detecting and tracking threat actors. Integrated with the Taegis XDR platform, NDR correlates telemetry across various threat vectors to detect adversarial behavior that might otherwise be overlooked.
“Taegis NDR empowers us to proactively mitigate cyber risks to our business,” said, Steve Hey, Senior Vice President of Information Technology, Infrastructure, and Operations, National 9/11 Memorial & Museum. “It adds an extra layer of intelligence that fortifies our cyber defenses. When Taegis NDR sends us an alert, I know there’s an issue so I can quickly assign my resources to tackle it and protect our business.”
Managed centrally in the Taegis Platform, Taegis NDR is updated continuously with curated countermeasures based on global real-world threat intelligence to protect customer networks from the latest attack vectors. Its AI engine analyzes network traffic for anomalous application and port usage, identifying potential internal and external threats before they can cause harm, such as data exfiltration or ransomware attacks. Automated response actions fuel faster and more accurate response times. Lastly, customers don’t have the burden of managing endless rules and signatures, saving them time and resources that can be deployed elsewhere.
“Network connected devices represent an opportunity for cyber criminals, as few organizations have the central governance, and strong policies, to ensure 100% up-to-date coverage at the endpoint. Threat actors continue to develop stealthy and evasive techniques to enter networks, that if not detected, inflict serious operational and financial damage on an organization,” said Kyle Falkenhagen, Chief Product Officer, Secureworks.”
