Network Detection and Response (NDR), an ML – AI based answer to SIEM and incident detection and reponse, Stijn Rommens – Vectra.ai

Many different ways exist today to detect cybersecurity threats and challenges. Many of the techniques and solutions have been evolving over the last number of years, and with the prospect of evolving Artificial Intelligence and ML-techniques today available, new approaches have been industrialized and widely been accepted. Nearly a decade ago already, we presented the first approaches in our various events and activities. Two weeks ago, some approaches to AI were presented in an earlier webinar. Now we will investigate the role of NDR versus many different other techniques and technologies, where it differs and why companies should consider in migrating their SIEM and IDS/IPS towards a combined NDR / EDR perspective, and if your organisation already did, how you can further improve this.
