WatchGuard NDR Network Detection and Response
Description
Description
WatchGuard NDR is a cloud-native, AI-powered network detection and response solution that gives you unified visibility and threat detection across multi-vendor, on-premises and remote environments. Delivered through WatchGuard Cloud, it helps you investigate faster, respond decisively and reduce blind spots across the network edge, with no new on-premises hardware to buy or manage.
Using multi-layer neural networks and flow-based machine learning to analyse NetFlow data, WatchGuard NDR detects threats that evade perimeter defences. These include command-and-control traffic, lateral movement, beaconing, scanning, abnormal access patterns and suspicious data transfers. It monitors both north-south traffic (entering and leaving the network) and east-west traffic (movement between internal systems), helping you spot ransomware and supply chain attacks early, before they spread.
Choose the band that matches your number of users and the term, then set the quantity to your number of users.
