Sophos Network Detection and Response
Sophos NDR Provides Critical Visibility into Network Activity That Other Products Miss
Sophos Network Detection and Response (NDR)
Detect Suspicious Behaviors That Extend Beyond Your Firewalls and Endpoints
Sophos NDR works together with your managed endpoints and firewalls to monitor network activity for suspicious and malicious patterns they cannot see. It detects abnormal traffic flows from unmanaged systems and IoT devices, rogue assets, insider threats, previously unseen zero-day attacks, and unusual patterns deep within the network.
Sophos NDR detects a range of network behaviors, making it an effective solution for identifying:
Unprotected Devices
Identify legitimate devices that aren't protected and could be used as entry points, including IoT and OT assets.
Rogue Assets
Pinpoint unauthorized and potentially malicious devices communicating across a network.
Insider Threats
Gain visibility to network traffic flows and “normal” data movement from inside an organization.
Zero-Day Attacks
Detect server command-and-control (C2) attempts based on patterns found in session packets.
Early Detection and Automatic Response
Sophos cross-product automation between NDR, XDR, MDR, and Firewall provides immediate response to stop active threats dead in their tracks.
How it works: Sophos NDR monitors traffic deep within the network, sending suspicious activity to Sophos Central’s data lake for further analysis. In the event an active threat or adversary is identified, analysts can immediately push a threat feed to Sophos Firewall that can coordinate an Active Threat Response to isolate and block malicious activity automatically in real-time.
5 Independent Detection Engines That Work in Real-Time
Data Detection Engine
Extensible query engine uses a deep learning prediction model to analyze encrypted traffic for patterns across unrelated network flows and detect port scanning and SSH brute force activity.
Deep Packet Inspection
Uses known indicators of compromise to identify threat actors and malicious tactics, techniques, and procedures across encrypted and unencrypted network traffic.
Encrypted Payload Analysis
Detects zero-day C2 servers and new variants of malware families based on patterns found in the session size, direction, and interarrival times.
Domain Generation Algorithm
Identifies dynamic domain generation technology used by malware to avoid detection.
Session Risk Analytics
Powerful logic engine utilizes rules that send alerts based on session-based risk factors.
