// TECH TRENDS // every alert . By merging or correlating network intrusion alerts from an NDR with vulnerability context from an EDR , SecOps teams can use a risk-based approach to prioritise response and tune out false positives .

7

Enhanced investigation and forensics : NDR solutions can provide detailed network traffic logs , analysis and packet captures which are invaluable for post-incident investigations and digital forensics . While EDR provides endpoint-specific data , NDR adds a networkwide perspective , allowing for a more comprehensive investigation into how an attack occurred , what was impacted or exfiltrated and the full scope of the breach . This is especially important for understanding complex or prolonged attack campaigns , verifying containment and providing defensible disclosure .

8

Integration and correlation : By integrating EDR and NDR , you can pre-correlate network data with endpoint vulnerabilities and other host data before it reaches the SIEM for a more rapid and comprehensive understanding of security incidents . Correlation using open standards like Community ID simplifies and accelerates the identification and analysis of complex multi-stage attacks where the initial compromise might be visible on an endpoint , but subsequent actions like data exfiltration are more easily observed on the network .

9

Support for Zero Trust architectures : As organisations move towards Zero Trust architectures where trust is never assumed and must be continually verified , NDR solutions become even more critical . They provide ongoing monitoring and validation of network activities , confirming that only legitimate traffic is allowed and deviations from established norms are quickly identified and addressed . This complements EDR ' s role in securing endpoints under the same Zero Trust principles .

10

Compliance and regulatory requirements : Some industries and regulations may require or recommend both endpoint and network-level monitoring and response capabilities . Having both EDR and NDR solutions can help in meeting these regulatory requirements .
In conclusion , a layered approach that blends the strengths of EDR ' s endpoint-focused insights with NDR ' s expansive network visibility , addresses the increasingly complex and sophisticated nature of cyberthreats . NDR offers broad coverage across various devices , enhanced detection capabilities and invaluable support for investigation and forensics .
