Vectra NDR technology uses Attack Signal Intelligence capabilities to filter alert traffic and block attacks early
Vectra AI, Inc., a leader in artificial intelligence-based extended detection and response (XDR), announced that it has been named a global leader in MarketScape di IDC: Worldwide Network Detection and Response 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc # #US51752324, November 2024).
According to IDC's assessment, "Vectra AI's greatest strength is the type of telemetry data it collects and correlates. In the field of cybersecurity, the greatest difficulty is separating real alerts from false positives. Vectra AI's NDR is designed to filter the many alerts received and provide only those of real risks, using proprietary Attack Signal Intelligence technology."
From research State of Threat Detection 2024 it emerges that 60% of Security Operations Center (SOC) professionals believe that threat detection tools generate too many alerts, making the identification of real threats more complex and increasing distrust towards these solutions. Third-party reports such as IDC MarketScape, which are based on rigorous scoring methodology and customer insights, therefore play a critical role in helping security managers make informed decisions when searching for replacement tools.
The IDC MarketScape report also highlighted that: “Customers reported that Vectra AI's solution was superior in detection to other vendors in proof-of-concept testing” and that “The proprietary scoring method used by Vectra AI's NDR to determine 'response' priority is preferable to most other systems because it takes into account the response itself and the potential attack surface.”
“Network detection and response solutions have typical strengths in that they exploit the operation within the network at the time of entry/exit to detect anomalies for investigation: new activity between ports, evidence of beaconing and impossible travel are some of the use cases,” comments Chris Kissel, Vice President of Security & Trust at IDC. “Vectra AI's NDR system is adept at these types of detections, but what really makes the difference is that it analyzes endpoint and identity logs, as well as public cloud logs, to paint a complete picture of hacker behavior while keeping false positives low.”
“We agree with IDC's MarketScape report that NDR solutions are particularly powerful when combined with other tools,” says Mark Wojtasiak, Vice President of Research and Strategy at Vectra AI. "SOC teams need visibility across the entire hybrid attack surface that extends from the network to identities and the cloud, and that's what we do with the Vectra AI platform. With 'Attack Signal Intelligence' technology, we connect data in real time, giving SOCs integrated, accurate detection of real attacks happening across the entire hybrid environment."
Vectra AI is consistently accredited by analysts and third parties for its industry-leading Vectra AI platform, and already boasts the recognition of Customers’ Choice and of Leader e Outperformer per NDR.
