Detect Threats with Cutting-Edge AI

WatchGuard NDR utilizes multi-layer neural networks and flow-based machine learning to analyze NetFlow data and detect threats that evade perimeter defenses. It identifies command-and-control traffic, lateral movement, beaconing, scanning, abnormal access patterns, and suspicious data transfer, revealing hidden attacks inside network traffic.

East-west traffic refers to data moving laterally within your environment, between servers, endpoints, workloads, and internal cloud or data center segments. Monitoring east-west traffic helps detect lateral movement, internal reconnaissance, privilege abuse, and the spread of ransomware that perimeter controls and north-south monitoring often miss.

North-south network traffic refers to data that enters or leaves your environment, such as between internal systems and external networks, including the Internet, cloud services, or partners. It encompasses inbound requests and outbound connections, and is crucial for identifying perimeter threats, command-and-control activity, data exfiltration, and policy violations.

NDR improves multi-vendor network protection by unifying visibility across mixed firewalls, switches, routers, and cloud networks. It correlates traffic behaviors, detects threats and misconfigurations consistently, reduces blind spots between tools, and speeds response with prioritized alerts, without relying on a single vendor’s telemetry or rule set.

NDR improves VPN security by monitoring inbound and outbound VPN traffic for anomalous access, risky lateral movement, and data exfiltration. It detects compromised credentials, unusual geolocation or usage patterns, and command-and-control behavior, then provides contextual alerts to validate VPN policy enforcement and accelerate containment.
