>>EDR NDR, what are the differences, which one's better? Are they better together? Today's security stack contains a lot of different tools and types of data and fortunate, as you know, this creates data silos, which leads to vis visibility gaps. EDR is endpoint detection and response. It's designed to monitor and mitigate endpoint attacks, which are typically focused on computers and servers, NDR network detection, and response. On the other hand, monitors network traffic to gain visibility into potential or active cyber threats, delivering real time visibility across the broader network. One of the biggest advantages that NDR has over EDR is that bad actors can hide or manipulate endpoint data, pretty easily network data. On the other hand, much harder to manipulate because attackers and malware can avoid detection at the endpoint. NDR, as you're gonna hear is the only real source for reliable, accurate, and comprehensive data. >>All endpoints use the network to communicate, which makes your network data, the ultimate source of truth. My name is Lisa Martin, and today on the special cube presentation, Tom Binkowski senior director of product marketing at net scout, and I are gonna explore the trends and the vital reasons why relying upon EDR is not quite enough. We're also gonna share with you the growing importance of advanced NDR. Welcome to the series, the growing importance of advanced NDR in the first segment, Tom's gonna talk with me about the trends that are driving enterprise security teams to implement multiple cyber security solutions that enable greater visibility, greater protection. We're also gonna explore Gartner's concept of the security operations center, SOC visibility triad, and the three main data sources for visibility, SIM EDR and NDR in segment two, Tom. And I will talk about the role of NDR and how it overcomes the challenges of EDR as Tom's gonna discuss, as you'll hear EDR is absolutely needed, but as he will explain it, can't be solely relied upon for comprehensive cybersecurity. And then finally, we'll come back for a third and final segment to discuss why not all NDR is created equal. Tom's gonna unpack the features and the capabilities that are most important when choosing an NDR solution. Let's do this. Here comes our first segment. >>Hey, everyone kicking things off. This is segment one. I'm Lisa Martin with Tom Binowski, senior director of product marketing at nets scout. Welcome to the growing importance of advanced NDR. Tom, great to have you on the program, >>Glad to be here. >>So we're gonna be talking about the trends that are driving enterprise security teams to implement multiple cyber security solutions that really enable greater visibility and protection. And there are a number of factors that continue to expand the ECAC service for enterprise networks. I always like to think of them as kind of the spreading amorphously you shared had shared some stats with me previously, Tom, some cloud adoption stats for 2022 94% of all enterprises today use a cloud service and more than 60% of all corporate data is store in the cloud. So, Tom, what are some of the key trends that nets scout is seeing in the market with respect to this? >>Yeah, so just to continue that, you know, those stats that, that migration of workloads to the cloud is a major trend that we're seeing in that was exasperated by the pandemic, right along with working from home. Those two things are probably the most dramatic changes that we we see out there today. But along with that is also this growing sophistication of the network, you know, today, you know, your network environment, isn't a simple hub and spoke or something like that. It is a very sophisticated combination of, you know, high speed backbones, potentially up to a hundred gigabits combination with partner networks. You have, like we said, workloads up in, in private clouds, pub public clouds. So you have this hybrid cloud environment. So, and then you have applications that are multi-tiered, there are pieces and parts. And in all of that, some on your premise, some up in a private cloud, some on a public cloud, some actually pulling data off when you a customer network or potentially even a, a partner network. So really, really sophisticated environment today. And that's requiring this need for very comprehensive network visibility, not only for, for cybersecurity purposes, but also just to make sure that those applications and networks are performing as you have designed them. >>So when it comes to gaining visibility into cyber threats, I, you talked about the, the sophistication and it sounds like even the complexity of these networks, Gartner introduced the concept of the security operations, visibility triad, or the SOC visibility triad break that down for us. It consists of three main data sources, but to break those three main data sources down for us. >>Sure. So Gartner came out a few years ago where they were trying to, you know, summarize where do security operations team get visibility into threats and they put together a triad and the three sides of the trier consists of one, the SIM security information event manager, two, the endpoint or, or data that you get from EDR systems, endpoint detection, response systems. And the third side is the network or the data you get from network detection, response systems. And, you know, they didn't necessarily say one is better than the other. They're basically said that you need all three in order to have comprehensive visibility for cybersecurity purposes. >>So talk, so all, all three perspectives are needed. Talk about what each provides, what are the different perspectives on threat detection and remediation? >>Yeah. So let's start with the SIM, you know, that is a device that is gathering alerts or logs from all kinds of different devices all over your network. Be it routers servers, you know, firewalls IDs, or even from endpoint detection and network detection devices too. So it is, it is the aggregator or consumer of all those alerts. The SIM is trying to correlate those alerts across all those different data sources and, and trying to the best it can to bubble up potentially the highest priority alerts or drawing correlations and, and, and, and giving you some guidance on, Hey, here's something that we think is, is really of importance or high priority. Here's some information that we have across these disparate data sources. Now go investigate the disadvantage of the SIM is that's all it gives you is just these logs or, or, or information. It doesn't give you any further context. >>Like what happened, what is really happening at the end point? Can I get visibility into the, into the files that were potentially manipulated or the, the registry setting or what, what happened on the network? And I get visibility into the packet date or things like that. It that's, so that's where it ends. And, and that's where the, so there other two sides of the equation come in, the endpoint will give you that deeper visibility, endpoint detection response. It will look for known and or unknown threats, you know, at that endpoint, it'll give you all kinds of additional information that is occurring in endpoint, whether it be a registry setting in memory on the file, et cetera. But you know, one of, some of its disadvantages, it's really difficult because really difficult to deploy pervasive because it requires an agent and, you know, not all devices can accept an agent, but what it miss, what is lacking is the context on the network. >>So if I was an analyst and I started pursuing from my SIM, I went down to the end point and, and said, I wanna investigate this further. And I hit a, I hit a dead end from some sort, or I realize that the device that's potentially I should be alerted to, or should be concerned about is an IOT device that doesn't even have an agent on it. My next source of visibility is on the network and that's where NDR comes in. It, it sees what's traversing. The entire network provides you visibility into that from both a metadata and even a ultimately a packer perspective. And maybe, you know, could be deployed a little bit more strategically, but you know, it doesn't have the perspective of the endpoint. So you can see how each of these sort of compliments each other. And that's why, you know, Gartner said that, that you need 'em all, then they all play a role. They all have their pros and cons or advantage and disadvantages, but, you know, bringing them and using 'em together is, is the key. >>I wanna kinda dig into some of the, the EDR gaps and challenges, as you talked about as, as the things evolve and change the network, environment's becoming far more sophisticated and as well as threat actors are, and malware is. So can you crack that open more on some of the challenges that EDR is presenting? What are some of those gaps and how can organizations use other, other, other data sources to solve them? >>Yeah, sure. So, you know, again, just be clear that EDR is absolutely required, right? We, we need that, but as sort of these network environments get more complex, are you getting all kinds of new devices being put on the network that devices being brought into the network that may be, you didn't know of B Y O D devices you have, I T devices, you know, popping up potentially by the thousands in, in, in some cases when new applications or world that maybe can't accept an and endpoint detection or an EDR agent, you may have environments like ICS and skate environments that just, you can't put an endpoint agent there. However, those devices can be compromised, right? You have different environments up in the cloud or SaaS environments again, where you may not be able to deploy an endpoint agent and all that together leaves visibility gaps or gaps in, in, in the security operation triad. Right. And that is basically open door for exploitation >>Open door. Go ahead. Sorry. >>Yeah. And then, then you just have the malware and the, and the attackers getting more sophisticated. They, they have malware that can detect an EDR agent running or some anti malware agent running on device. And they'll simply avoid that and move on to the next one, or they know how to hide their tracks, you know, whether it be deleting files, registry, settings, things like that. You know, so it's, that's another challenge that, that, that just an agent faces. Another one is there are certain applications like my SQL that are, you know, have ministry administrative rights into certain parts of the windows operate system that EDR doesn't have visibility into another area that maybe EDR may not have visibility is, is, is in, you know, malware that tries to compromise, you know, hardware, especially like bios or something like that. So there's a number of challenges as sort of the whole network environment and sophistication of bad actors and malware increases. >>Ultimately, I think one of the things that, that we've learned, and, and we've heard from you in this segment, is that doing business in, in today's digital economy, demands, agility, table stakes, right? Absolutely essential corporate digital infrastructures have changed a lot in response to the dynamic environment, but its businesses are racing to the clouds. Dave Alane likes to call it the forced March to the cloud, expanding activities across this globally distributed digital ecosystem. They also sounds like need to reinvent cybersecurity to defend this continuously expanding threat surface. And for that comprehensive network, visibility is, as I think you were saying is really, really fundamental and more advanced network detection is, and responses required. Is that right? >>That's correct. You know, you know, we, we at ESCO, this is, this is where we come from. Our perspective is the network. It has been over for over 30 years. And, and we, as well as others believe that that network visibility, comprehensive network visibility is fundamental for cyber security as well as network performance and application analysis. So it, it, it's sort of a core competency or need for, for modern businesses today. >>Excellent. And hold that thought, Tom, cause in a moment, you and I are gonna be back to talk about the role of NDR and how it overcomes the challenges of EDR. You're watching the cube, the leader in enterprise tech coverage. Hey everyone, welcome back. This is segment two kicking things off I'm Lisa Martin with Tom Binkowski, senior director of product marketing at nets scout, Tom, great to have you back on the program. >>Good to be here. >>We're gonna be talking about the growing importance of advanced NDR in this series. In this segment specifically, Tom's gonna be talking about the role of NDR and how it overcomes the challenges of EDR. So Tom, one of the things that we talked about previously is one of the biggest advantages that NDR has over EDR is that bad actors can hide or manipulate endpoint data pretty easily, whereas network data, much harder to manipulate. So my question, Tom, for you is, is NDR the only real source for reliable, accurate, comprehensive data. >>I'm sure that's arguable, right? Depending on who you are as a vendor, but you know, it's, it's our, our answer is yes, NDR solutions also bring an analyst down to the packet level. And there's a saying, you know, the, the packet is the ultimate source or source of truth. A bad actor cannot manipulate a packet. Once it's on the wire, they could certainly manipulate it from their end point and then blast it out. But once it hits the wire, that's it they've lost control of it. And once it's captured by a network detection or, or network monitoring device, they can't manipulate it. They can't go into that packet store and, and manipulate those packets. So the ultimate source of truth is, is lies within that packet somewhere. >>Got you. Okay. So as you said in segment one EDR absolutely necessary, right. But you did point out it can't organizations can't solely rely on it for comprehensive cybersecurity. So Tom, talk about the benefits of, of this complimenting, this combination of EDR and NDR and, and how can that deliver more comprehensive cybersecurity for organizations? >>Yeah, so, so one of the things we talked about in the prior segment was where EDR, maybe can't be deployed and it's either on different types of devices like IOT devices, or even different environments. They have a tough time maybe in some of these public cloud environments, but that's where NDR can, can step in, especially in these public cloud environments. So I think there's a misconception out there that's difficult to get packet level or network visibility and public clouds like AWS or Azure or Google and so on. And that's absolutely not true. They have all kinds of virtual tapping capabilities that an NDR solution or network based monitoring solution could take advantage of. And one of the things that we know we spoke about before some of that growing trends of migrating workloads to the cloud, that's, what's driving that those virtual networks or virtual taps is providing visibility into the performance and security of those workloads. >>As they're migrated to public clouds, NDR can also be deployed more strategically, you know, prior segment talking about how the, in order to gain pervasive visibility with EDR, you have to deploy an agent everywhere agents can't be deployed everywhere. So what you can do with NDR is there's a lot fewer places in a network where you can strategically deploy a network based monitoring device to give you visibility into not only that north south traffic. So what's coming in and out of your network, but also the, the, the, the east west traffic too west traversing, you know, within your network environment between different points of your op your, your multi-tiered application, things like that. So that's where, you know, NDR has a, a, a little bit more advantage. So fewer points of points in the network, if you will, than everywhere on every single endpoint. And then, you know, NDR is out there continuously gathering network data. It's both either before, during, and even after a threat or an attack is, is detected. And it provides you with this network context of, of, you know, what's happening on the wire. And it does that through providing you access to, you know, layer two through layer seven metadata, or even ultimately packets, you know, the bottom line is simply that, you know, NDR is providing, as we said before, that that network context that is potentially missing or is missing in EDR. >>Can you talk a little bit about XDR that kind of sounds like a superhero name to me, but this is extended detection and response, and this is an evolution of EDR talk to us about XDR and maybe EDR NDR XDR is really delivering that comprehensive cybersecurity strategy for organizations. >>Yeah. So, you know, it's, it's interesting. I think there's a lot of confusion out there in the industry. What is, what is XDR, what is XDR versus an advanced SIM, et cetera. So in some cases, there are some folks that don't think it's just an evolution of EDR. You know, to me, XDR is taking, look at these, all these disparate data sources. So going back to our, when our first segment, we talked about the, the, the security operations center triad, and it has data from different perspectives, as we were saying, right? And XCR, to me is the, is, is trying to bring them all together. All these disparate data source sets or sources bring them together, conduct some level of analysis on that data for the analyst and potentially, you know, float to the top. The most, you know, important events are events that we, that you know, that the system deems high priority or most risky and so on. But as I, as I'm describing this, I know there are many advanced Sims out there trying to do this today too. Or they do do this today. So this there's this little area of confusion around, you know, what exactly is XDR, but really it is just trying to pull together these different sources of information and trying to help that analyst figure out, you know, what, where's the high priority event that's they should be looking at, >>Right? Getting those high priority events elevated to the top as soon as possible. One of the things that I wanted to ask you about was something that occurred in March of this year, just a couple of months ago, when the white house released a statement from president Biden regarding the nation's cyber security, it included recommendations for private companies. I think a lot of you are familiar with this, but the first set of recommendations were best practices that all organizations should already be following, right? Multifactor authentication, patching against known vulnerabilities, educating employees on the phishing attempts on how to be effective against them. And the next statement in the president's release, focus on data safety practices, also stuff that probably a lot of corporations doing encryption maintaining offline backups, but where the statement focused on proactive measures companies should take to modernize and improve their cybersecurity posture. It was vague. It was deploy modern security tools on your computers and devices to continuously look for and mitigate threats. So my question to you is how do, how do you advise organizations do that? Deploy modern security tools look for and mitigate threats, and where do the data sources, the SOC tri that we talked about NDR XDR EDR, where did they help fit into helping organizations take something that's a bit nebulous and really figure out how to become much more secure? >>Yeah, it was, it was definitely a little vague there with that, with that sentence. And also if you, if you, I think if, if you look at the sentence, deploy modern security tools on your computers and devices, right. It's missing the network as we've been talking about there, there's, there's a key, key point of, of reference that's missing from that, from that sentence. Right. But I think what they mean by deploying monitor security tools is, is really taking advantage of all these, these ways to gain visibility into, you know, the threats like we've been talking about, you're deploying advanced Sims that are pulling logs from all kinds of different security devices or, and, or servers cetera. You're, you're deploying advanced endpoint detection systems, advanced NDR systems. And so on, you're trying to use, you're trying to utilize XDR new technology to pull data from all those different sources and analyze it further. And then, you know, the other one we, we haven't even mentioned yet. It was the, so the security operation and automation, right. Response it's now, now what do we do? We've detected something, but now help me automate the response to that. And so I think that's what they mean by leveraging modern, you know, security tools and so on >>When you're in customer conversations, I imagine they're coming to, to Netscale looking for advice like what we just talked through the vagueness in that statement and the different tools that organizations can use. So when you're talking to customers and they're talking about, we need to gain visibility across our entire network, across all of our devices, from your perspective from net Scout's perspective, what does that visibility actually look like and deliver across an organization that does it well? >>Yeah, we, I mean, I think the simple way to put it is you need visibility. That is both broad and deep. And what I mean by broad is that you need visibility across your network, no matter where that network may reside, no matter what protocols it's running, what, you know, technologies is it, is it virtualized or, or legacy running in a hundred gigabits? Is it in a private cloud, a public cloud, a combination of both. So that broadness, meaning wherever that network is or whatever it's running, that's, that's what you need visibility into. It has to be able to support that environment. Absolutely. And the, the, absolutely when I, we talk about being deep it's, it has to get down to a packet level. It can't be, you know, as high as say, just looking at net flow records or something like that, that they are valuable, they have their role. However, you know, when we talk about getting deep, it has to ultimately get down to the packet level and that's, and we've said this in this time that it's ultimately that source of truth. So that, that's what that's, I think that's what we need. >>Got it. That that depth is incredibly important. Thanks so much, Tom, for talking about this in a moment, you and I are gonna be back, we're gonna be talking about why not all NDR is created equally, and Tom's gonna actually share with you some of the features and capabilities that you should be looking for when you're choosing an NDR solution. You're watching the cube, the leader in enterprise tech coverage, >>And we're clear. >>All right. >>10 45. Perfect. You guys are >>Okay. Good >>Cruising. Well, >>Welcome back everyone. This is segment three. I'm Lisa Martin with Tom gin. Kowski senior director of product marketing at nets scout. Welcome back to the growing importance of advanced NDR in this segment, Tom and I are gonna be talking about the fact that not all NDR is created equally. He's gonna impact the features, the capabilities that are most important when organizations are choosing an NDR solution. Tom, it's great to have you back on the program. >>Great, great to be here. >>So we've, we've covered a lot of content in the first two segments, but as we, as we see enterprises expanding their it infrastructure, enabling the remote workforce, which is here to stay leveraging the crowd cloud, driving innovation, the need for cybersecurity approaches and strategies that are far more robust and deep is really essential. But in response to those challenges, more and more enterprises are relying on NDR solutions that fill some of the gaps that we talked about with some of the existing tool sets in the last segment, we talked about some of the gaps in EDR solutions, how NDR resolves those. But we also know that not all NDR tools are created equally. So what, in your perspective, Tom are some of the absolutely fundamental components of NDR tools that organizations need to have for those tools to really be robust. >>Yeah. So we, we, we touched upon this a little bit in the previous segment when we talked about first and foremost, your NDR solution is providing you comprehensive network visibility that must support whatever your network environment is. And it should be in a single tool. It shouldn't have a one vendor per providing you, you know, network visibility in the cloud and another vendor providing network visibility in a local network. It should be a single NDR solution that provides you visibility across your entire network. So we also talked about it, not only does it need to be broadened like that, but also has to be deep too, eventually down to a packet level. So those are, those are sort of fundamental table stakes, but the NDR solution also must give you the ability to access a robust source of layer two or layer three metadata, and then ultimately give you access to, to packets. And then last but not least that solution must integrate into your existing cybersecurity stack. So in the prior segments, we talked a lot about, you know, the, the SIM, so that, that, that NDR solution must have the ability to integrate into that SIM or into your XDR system or even into your source system. >>Let's kind of double click on. Now, the evolution of NDR can explain some of the differences between the previous generations and advanced NDR. >>Yeah. So let's, let's start with what we consider the most fundamental difference. And that is solution must be packet based. There are other ways to get network visibility. One is using net flow and there are some NDR solutions that rely upon net flow for their source of, of, of visibility. But that's too shallow. You ultimately, you need to get deeper. You need to get down to a pack level and that's again where some, so, you know, you, you want to make sure that your NDR or advanced NDR solution is packet based. Number two, you wanna make sure that when you're pulling packets off the wire, you can do it at scale, that full line rate and in any environment, as we, as we spoke about previously, whether it be your local environment or a public cloud environment, number three, you wanna be able to do this when your traffic is encrypted. As we know a lot of, lot of not of network traffic is encrypted today. So you have the ability to have to have the ability to decrypt that traffic and then analyze it with your NDR system. >>Another, another, another one number four is, okay, I'm not just pulling packets off the wire, throwing full packets into a data storage someplace. That's gonna, you know, fill up a disc in a matter of seconds, right? You want the ability to extract a meaningful set of metadata from layer two to layer seven, the OSI model look at key metrics and conducting initial set of analysis, have the ability to index and compress that data, that metadata as well as packets on these local storage devices on, you know, so having the ability to do this packet capture at scale is really important, storing that packets and metadata locally versus up in a cloud to, you know, help with some compliance and, and confidentiality issues. And then, you know, last final least when we talk about integration into that security stack, it's multiple levels of integration. Sure. We wanna send alerts up into that SIM, but we also want the ability to, you know, work with that XDR system to, or that, that source system to drill back down into that metadata packets for further analysis. And then last but not least that piece of integration should be that there's a robust set of information that these NDR systems are pulling off the wire many times in more advanced mature organizations, you know, security teams, data scientists, et cetera. They just want access to that raw data, let them do their own analysis outside, say the user interface with the boundaries of a, of a vendor's user interface. Right? So have the ability to export that data too is really important and advance in the systems. >>Got it. So, so essentially that the, the, the breadth, the visibility across the entire infrastructure, the depth you mentioned going down to a packet level, the scale, the metadata encryption, is that what net scout means when you talk about visibility without borders? >>Yeah, exactly. You know, we, we have been doing this for over 30 years, pulling packets off of wire, converting them using patent technology to a robust set of metadata, you know, at, at full line rates up to a hundred in any network environment, any protocols, et cetera. So that, that's what we mean by that breadth. And in depth of visibility, >>Can you talk a little bit about smart detection if we say, okay, advanced NDR needs to deliver this threat intelligence, but it also needs to enable smart detection. What does net scout mean by that? >>So what you wanna make sure you have multiple methods of detection, not just a methods. So, you know, not just doing behavioral analysis or not just detecting threats based on known indicators or compromise, what you wanna wanna have multiple ways of detecting threats. It could be using statistical behavioral analysis. It could be using curated threat intelligence. It could be using, you know, open source signature engine, like from Sara COTA or other threat analytics, but to, but you also wanna make sure that you're doing this both in real time and have the ability to do it historically. So after a, a threat has been detected, for example, with another, with another product, say an EDR device, you now want the ability to drill into the data from the network that had occurred in, in, you know, prior to this. So historically you want the ability to comb through a historical set of metadata or packets with new threat intelligence that you've you've gathered today. I wanna be able to go back in time and look through with a whole new perspective, looking for something that I didn't know about, but you know, 30 days ago. So that's, that's what we, what we mean by smart detection. >>So really what organizations need is these tools that deliver a far more comprehensive approach. I wanna get into a little bit more on in integration. You talked about that in previous segments, but can you, can you give us an example of, of what you guys mean by smart integration? Is that, what does that deliver for organizations specifically? >>Yeah, we really it's three things. One will say the integration to the SIM to the security operations center and so on. So when, when an ed, when an NDR device detects something, have it send an alert to the SIM using, you know, open standards or, or, or like syslog standards, et cetera, the other direction is from the SIM or from the so, so one, you know, that SIM that, so is receiving information from many different devices that are, or detecting threats. The analyst now wants the ability to one determine if that's a true threat or not a false positive, if it is a true threat, you know, what help me with the remediation effort. So, you know, an example could be an alert comes into a SIM slash. So, and part of the playbook is to go out and grab the metadata packets associated with this alert sometime before and sometime after when that alert came in. >>So that could be part of the automation coming from the SIM slash. So, and then last one, not least is we alluded to this before is having the ability to export that robust set of layer two through layer seven metadata and or packets to a third party data lake, if you will, and where analysts more sophisticated analysts, data scientists, and so on, can do their own correlation, enrich it with their own data, combined it with other data sets and so on, do their own analysis. So it's that three layers of, of integration, if you will, that really what should be an advanced NDR system? >>All right, Tom, take this home for me. How does nets scout deliver advanced NDRs for organizations? >>We do that via solution. We call Omni the security. This is Netscout's portfolio of, of multiple different cyber security products. It all starts with the packets. You know, our core competency for the last 30 years has been to pull packets off the wire at scale, using patented technologies, for example, adapt service intelligence technologies to convert those broad packets into robust set of layer seven layer two through seven metadata. We refer to that data as smart data with that data in hand, you now have the ability to conduct multiple types of threat detection using statistical behavioral, you know, curative threat intelligence, or even open source. So rules engine, you have the ability to detect threats both in real time, as well as historically, but then a solution goes beyond just detecting threats or investigating threats has the ability to influence the blocking of threats too. So we have integrations with different firewall vendors like Palo Alto, for example, where they could take the results of our investigation and then, you know, create policies, blocking policies into firewall. >>In addition to that, we have our own Omni a E D product or our Arbor edge defense. That's, that's a product that sits in front of the firewall and protects the firewall from different types of attacks. We have integration that where you can, you can also influence policies being blocked in the a E and in last but not least, our, our solution integrates this sort of three methods of integration. As we mentioned before, with an existing security system, sending alerts to it, allowing for automation and investigation from it, and having the ability to export our data for, you know, custom analysis, you know, all of this makes that security stack that we've been talking about better, all those different tools that we have. That's that operations triads that we talked about or visibility triad, we talked about, you know, our data makes that entire triad just better and makes the overall security staff better and makes overall security just, just better too. So that, that that's our solution on the security. >>Got it. On the security. And what you've talked about did a great job. The last three segments talking about the differences between the different technologies, data sources, why the complimentary and collaborative nature of them working together is so important for that comprehensive cybersecurity. So Tom, thank you so much for sharing such great and thoughtful information and insight for the audience. >>Oh, you're welcome. Thank you. >>My pleasure. We wanna thank you for watching the program today. Remember that all these videos are available@thecube.net, and you can check out today's news on Silicon angle.com and of course, net scout.com. We also wanna thank net scout for making this program possible and sponsoring the cube. I'm Lisa Martin for Tomski. Thanks for watching and bye for now.
SUMMARY :
as you know, this creates data silos, which leads to vis visibility gaps. with you the growing importance of advanced NDR. Tom, great to have you on the program, I always like to think of them as kind of the spreading amorphously you shared had shared some stats with me sophistication of the network, you know, today, you know, your network environment, So when it comes to gaining visibility into cyber threats, I, you talked about the, the sophistication And the third side is the network or the data you get from network detection, So talk, so all, all three perspectives are needed. of the SIM is that's all it gives you is just these logs or, come in, the endpoint will give you that deeper visibility, or advantage and disadvantages, but, you know, bringing them and using 'em together is, is the key. So can you crack that open more on some of the into the network that may be, you didn't know of B Y O D devices you have, or they know how to hide their tracks, you know, whether it be deleting files, as I think you were saying is really, really fundamental and more advanced network detection is, You know, you know, we, we at ESCO, this is, this is where we come from. And hold that thought, Tom, cause in a moment, you and I are gonna be back to talk about the role of NDR So my question, Tom, for you is, is NDR the And there's a saying, you know, So Tom, talk about the benefits of, of this complimenting, And one of the things that we know we spoke about before some the bottom line is simply that, you know, NDR is providing, as we said before, that that network context Can you talk a little bit about XDR that kind of sounds like a superhero name to me, important events are events that we, that you know, that the system deems high So my question to you is And then, you know, the other one we, So when you're talking to customers and they're talking about, And what I mean by broad is that you need visibility across your and Tom's gonna actually share with you some of the features and capabilities that you should be looking for You guys are Tom, it's great to have you back on the program. challenges, more and more enterprises are relying on NDR solutions that fill some of the So in the prior segments, we talked a lot about, you know, the, some of the differences between the previous generations and advanced NDR. So you have the ability to have to have the ability to And then, you know, is that what net scout means when you talk about visibility without borders? a robust set of metadata, you know, at, at full line rates up to a hundred in Can you talk a little bit about smart detection if we say, okay, advanced NDR needs to deliver this threat the data from the network that had occurred in, in, you know, prior to this. So really what organizations need is these tools that deliver a far more comprehensive the so, so one, you know, that SIM that, so is receiving So that could be part of the automation coming from the SIM slash. All right, Tom, take this home for me. and then, you know, create policies, blocking policies into firewall. triads that we talked about or visibility triad, we talked about, you know, our data makes that So Tom, thank you so much for sharing such great and thoughtful information and insight for the audience. Oh, you're welcome. We wanna thank you for watching the program today.
