Securing AWS, Azure, and IONOS with ThreatSync NDR
Most business-critical apps and data now live in cloud platforms. The networks connecting them are dynamic, software-defined, and constantly changing. Attackers know this. They target cloud workloads and the paths between them, looking for misconfigurations, weak controls, and unmonitored traffic.
In many organizations, that cloud network layer is still a blind spot. Security is optimized for endpoints and perimeter firewalls, while cloud flow logs accumulate in storage, are rarely analyzed in real-time, and seldom converted into an operational signal.
Now WatchGuard ThreatSync NDR closes that blind spot by turning native cloud flow logs from AWS, Azure, and IONOS into a live detection fabric across cloud and hybrid environments.
How it Works
ThreatSync NDR connects directly to leading cloud platforms to surface behaviors that indicate real risk, such as:
- Spikes in outbound data to unfamiliar or high-risk destinations
- Unexpected protocol or port use between services
- New communication with previously unseen or suspicious IP ranges
- Traffic patterns aligned with known command-and-control techniques
When behavior deviates from the norm, ThreatSync NDR creates a clear, structured incident, showing what changed, where, and how it maps to potential compromise in the cloud.
For example:
- ThreatSync NDR spots the spike in flow data and raises a high-priority incident when a cloud workload suddenly sends large amounts of data to an unknown external destination.
- When cloud instances begin regularly contacting infrastructure linked to malware or command-and-control, ThreatSync NDR highlights the recurring pattern, even when endpoint telemetry is limited or unavailable.
- If cloud services establish new, unexplained external connections, ThreatSync NDR surfaces these flows as clear security signals, rather than letting them blend into background noise.
Why it Matters
Unmonitored cloud network paths give attackers room to move quietly, test defenses, and exfiltrate data without tripping traditional controls. By integrating WatchGuard ThreatSync NDR with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and IONOS, you can:
- Continuously analyze cloud flow data
- Identify anomalies that signal early-stage attacks
- Highlight lateral movement and suspicious east–west activity
- Validate that network policies in each cloud operate as intended
With ThreatSync NDR, Raw flow data becomes a unified, intelligent detection surface for multi-cloud and hybrid environments, providing defenders with visibility and control where it was previously lacking.
