Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "They can provide you very contextual alerts on if something bad is happening—coming into your network or going out of your network. As part of that, they gather a lot of threat intelligence and map your connections against that. The larger benefit is that they give you a risk rating on their findings."

Room for Improvement

  • "My challenge is actually comparing offerings from different vendors across a threat spectrum that is very large. We are talking about millions of threats. How are you confident that Blue Hexagon is catching all one million of them and Palo Alto is doing the same thing? They all have their strengths. Within that, Blue Hexagon might cover 990,000 of them. Palo Alto might cover another 990,000. It's a bit difficult to compare them and say, "Oh, are they catching the same 990,000?" I don't know."

Pricing

  • "It's difficult to state the setup cost. All the NDRs range anywhere between $500,000, plus or minus, to $2 million. There's a spread of pricing here, depending on who you are talking to. Obviously the major brand names want more money. They typically bundle it with their other offerings. With Cisco, for example, you don't just buy an NDR. So, typically it gets rolled into the cost."

Cons

"My challenge is actually comparing offerings from different vendors across a threat spectrum that is very large. We are talking about millions of threats. How are you confident that Blue Hexagon is catching all one million of them and Palo Alto is doing the same thing? They all have their strengths. Within that, Blue Hexagon might cover 990,000 of them. Palo Alto might cover another 990,000. It's a bit difficult to compare them and say, "Oh, are they catching the same 990,000?" I don't know."

What is our primary use case?

NDRs are specifically used for up-leveling the network defense over and above traditional firewall and IDS and IPS. They are very context aware of what's happening on each connection. They learn the behaviors of connections coming in and going out of your enterprise, as well as east to west.

We are a very large IT house that reaches about 10 million customers and with 100,000 employees. To that extent, we have every security tool conceivable: EDR, NDR, network defense. You mention it, we have it.

What is most valuable?

They can provide you with very contextual alerts on if something bad is happening—coming into your network or going out of your network. As part of that, they gather a lot of threat intelligence and map your connections against that. The larger benefit is that they give you a risk rating on their findings. The biggest problem any software team deals with is the number of false alerts they get and the amount of time they spend chasing them. They are not significant from a track perspective.

So, if they give you a risk rating from low, to medium, to high, they can focus their efforts more on the high ones and ignore the low ones, at least temporarily. That's a huge benefit. 

They also do content scanning for all your malware making way through your files and executables. One large theory is that if any attack comes from outside the network, it has to pass through the network. That is the most opportune observing point so that you can catch them before they get deployed or they start rooting into your enterprise. So that's where NDRs are used, and they do that in a passive mode. You don't deploy them. You can simply pick the traffic and watch the traffic as is.
