Abstract
This IDC Perspective explains why network detection and response (NDR) platforms are an important addition to businesses that operate their own security operations. IDC believes that organizations of any size would receive excellent value if they purchased its own NDR tool. The good news is that over time, the price of these appliances will likely fall and become a practical purchase for relatively small companies because the quality of security automations allows for strong cross-platform integrations, and the quality of analytics continues to improve over time. We say this even as GenAI is only in its nascent stages of use in cybersecurity technologies.
"Buying a network detection and response platform does require some confidence and some self-study," offers Chris Kissel, research vice president, Security and Trust Products at IDC. "However, leveraging the network is at the heart of IT and security operations. The NDR visibility in a security context yields rich content for reliable indicators of compromise (IoC). The network is talking, are you listening?"
