Improve network threat detections with NDR Solutions
NetWitness posted a blog entry in Your Journal Blog
Improving network threat detection with Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions involves leveraging their capabilities to identify, investigate, and respond to threats across your network traffic. Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions are powerful tools that help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to threats by continuously monitoring network traffic. Key Ways NDR Improves Network Threat Detection Deep Visibility into Network Traffic NDR analyzes raw traffic (packets, flows, metadata) across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. Detects east-west (lateral) movement, not just north-south (inbound/outbound) traffic. Behavioral Analytics & Machine Learning Uses advanced analytics to establish baselines of "normal" behavior. Flags anomalies such as unusual data transfers, port scanning, or unauthorized protocol use. Encrypted Traffic Inspection Many NDR solutions can analyze traffic patterns even when it's encrypted, identifying threats without decryption. Real-Time Threat Detection Continuous monitoring enables early detection of indicators of compromise (IoCs) like beaconing, C2 communication, or data exfiltration. Automatic Threat Scoring and Prioritization Threats are evaluated and ranked by severity to support faster response by security teams. Integration with Existing Security Stack Seamlessly integrates with SIEM, EDR, firewalls, and SOAR platforms for coordinated incident response. Threat Hunting Capabilities Enables proactive searches for hidden threats using enriched metadata and historical traffic analysis. 1. Deep Visibility into Network Traffic How to Improve: Deploy sensors at strategic points in the network (core, edge, cloud, data centers). Enable East-West traffic monitoring, not just North-South, to detect lateral movement. Ensure visibility into encrypted traffic (via SSL/TLS decryption or metadata analysis). Tools: Gigamon, Corelight (for enriched traffic visibility). Decryption capabilities of NDR platforms like NetWitness, Darktrace, Vectra, or ExtraHop. 2. Leverage AI/ML-Based Behavioral Analytics How to Improve: Train models on baseline network behavior (normal traffic patterns, usage, protocols). Use unsupervised learning to detect anomalies and unknown threats (e.g., zero-day attacks). Tune algorithms to reduce false positives by incorporating contextual awareness (user identity, device type). 3. Integrate Threat Intelligence How to Improve: Ingest threat intelligence feeds (commercial, open-source, ISACs). Correlate indicators of compromise (IOCs) with observed traffic. Use reputation scoring for domains, IPs, and files. 4. Contextual Correlation & Enrichment How to Improve: Integrate with SIEM, EDR, SOAR, and identity providers (like Active Directory). Enrich network data with: User identity Asset criticality Geolocation Cloud workload details 5. Enable Real-Time Threat Detection & Alerting How to Improve: Configure alerts for: DNS tunneling Lateral movement Command & control (C2) traffic Data exfiltration Use risk scoring to prioritize alerts. Implement auto-tagging of suspicious behaviors (e.g., beaconing, port scanning). 6. Automated Response and Playbooks How to Improve: Integrate NDR solutions with SOAR platforms to trigger automated containment actions: Quarantine host Block malicious domains/IPs Alert analysts or escalate Build custom playbooks for different incident types (e.g., ransomware, insider threat). 7. Continuous Testing & Tuning How to Improve: Run purple teaming and breach & attack simulation (BAS) tools (e.g., AttackIQ, SafeBreach) to validate detection. Tune thresholds and detection models based on feedback. Review missed detections and improve rule logic or model parameters. 8. Use Dashboards & Reporting How to Improve: Build dashboards for: Threat trends Alert volumes Response SLAs Use data to inform SOC operations and executive stakeholders. Benefits of Using NDR Reduced Dwell Time: NDR solutions detects threats that bypass endpoint or perimeter defenses. Improved Incident Response: Accelerates investigation with context-rich alerts and visualizations. Enhanced SOC Efficiency: Reduces false positives and alert fatigue through smarter analytics. Compliance and Audit Readiness: Provides detailed records of network activity for investigations and regulatory requirements. Best Practices for Maximizing NDR Effectiveness Deploy NDR at strategic points (e.g., network core, cloud VPCs, branch sites). Feed NDR tools with full-fidelity traffic (not just flow data) when possible. Combine with threat intelligence for enriched detection. Train SOC analysts on NDR dashboards and workflows. Leading NDR Vendors to Consider: NetWitness Network Detection and Response – Full-packet capture, metadata and netflow—on premises, in the cloud and across virtual infrastructures Darktrace – Self-learning AI, strong in anomaly detection Vectra AI – Excellent in hybrid cloud and lateral movement detection ExtraHop Reveal(x) – Strong in real-time detection and encrypted traffic analytics Corelight – Open-source (Zeek-based), great for SOC-driven environments - Last week

In the livestream, they hinted at what could be in the next DLC for the PC version of the game. The image they showed included: the only animal that was clearly visible was the ratel/honey badger the other 2 were in silhouettes: primates (some people are saying the lion-tailed macaques) and elephants (some are saying maybe the Sri Lankan elephant, or it is a hint to the theme of the DLC)

Countries of the World: Georgia Creators: Laura 'Tamara' Henson and MarkBL20 Original Creator: The following people need to be credited for the use of their models and original coding... Cacasian Ground Squirrel: Ulquiorra Cacasian Tree Squirrel, Caspian Wildcat, Caucasian Leopard, and both species of Tur: Hendrix Caspian Tiger: Eryel and Zerosvalmont Caspian Wolf: Bunyupy for adult and JimmyzHoopz for young European Jackal: Zerosvalmont Western Marbled Polecat: Bunteriro Original molting coding by lgcfm. Requires: Base Game: Caucasian ground and tree squirrels, Western and Eastern Tur African Adventure & Endangered Species:AA and ES: Caspian Wolf, European Jackal Extinct Animals: EA: Caspian Tiger Marine Mania: MM: Western Marbled Polecat Public Domain: Yes Language: English Bugs: None found. Description: Ten species from the country of Georgia in Western Europe. It includes two rodents (the Caucasian ground squirrel and Caucasian tree squirrel), Three felines (the Caspian wildcat, critically endangered Caucasian leopard, and extinct Caspian Tiger), Two canines (the Caspian or Steppe wolf and the European jackal), The western Marbled Polecat, and both the Eastern and Western species of Tur. Both Tur males change color in the winter as do the actual animals thanks to the coding genius of MarkBL20. The European Jackal includes a hack to fix the sounds of the Siamese Jackal to match those of the actual animal.
