10 Considerations for Implementing an XDR Strategy
July 18, 2024 by Alyssa Ideboen
The cybersecurity landscape is evolving, and Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions are becoming indispensable for consistent visibility across an increasing attack surface. In the Competitive Landscape for NDR research, Gartner® claims that to be effective, “XDR products must offer a minimum of two native security sensors and other/s can be NDR, firewalls, identity email security, mobile threat detection and cloud workload protection.” One must be an endpoint sensor, and the other can be NDR. By detecting network-based anomalies, NDR can contribute to XDR by providing full network visibility.
According to Gartner Interest in MDR services stands out in government, finance and healthcare, which are also key verticals for NDR. Organizations with mature security processes are recognizing the need for robust network visibility and behavioral analytics to detect and respond to threats. Four key trends where enterprises are digging deeper into enhancing their NDR coverage:
To maximize the benefits of an NDR solution, we have our key takeaways from the Gartner report that organizations should consider:
Think about Adopting a Cloud-Agnostic Approach. Ensuring your NDR solution is compatible with multiple cloud providers can significantly enhance your security posture. This flexibility is crucial as many businesses often utilize a hybrid and multi-cloud strategy.
Embrace AI. Gartner predicts that the implementation of automated responses to network anomaly detection will remain below 40% of the anomalies detected.
Organizations should actively seek this technology as part of the NDR solutions.
Lean on Third-Party Integrations. Integrating NDR with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) systems, like those from CrowdStrike, can offer broader telemetry and improved incident response workflows. This integration leverages the strengths of both network and endpoint security, providing a comprehensive defense mechanism.
Improve efficacy of MDR Services. Gartner projects that by 2025, 60% of organizations will be actively using remote threat disruption and containment capabilities delivered directly by MDR providers, up from 30% today. In addition to advertising a broader package and feature differentiation, a key value proposition from MDR providers is 24/7 monitoring/threat hunting and expert analysis (in essence the benefits of outsourcing).
Network Detection and Response solutions are critical components for organizations aiming to stay ahead of advanced threats. The NDR market has gone through robust growth with the market experiencing a dynamic shift towards more sophisticated security measures, driven by the need for enhanced network visibility and proactive threat detection. For organizations looking to bolster their cybersecurity strategies, Corelight believes Gartner recommendations provide a clear roadmap.
