Why top SOC teams are shifting to Network Detection and Response
May 01, 2025
Threat Detection / Network Security
Security Operations Center (SOC) teams are facing a fundamentally new challenge — traditional cybersecurity tools are failing to detect advanced adversaries who have become experts at evading endpoint-based defenses and signature-based detection systems. The reality of these "invisible intruders" is driving a significant need for a multi-layered approach to detecting threats, including Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions. The invisible intruder problem Imagine your network has been compromised — not today or yesterday, but months ago. Despite your significant investments in security tools running 24/7, an advanced adversary has been quietly moving through your systems, carefully avoiding detection. They've stolen credentials, established backdoors, and exfiltrated sensitive data, all while your dashboards showed nothing but green. This scenario is not hypothetical.
