Network Detection & Response: The Next Frontier in Fighting the Human Problem

2021-04-09 15:40

Last year, Gartner published a market guide on network detection and response.

While technology evolves, and network and security professionals develop more sophisticated techniques to stop attacks, one thing remains true: Humans are still a big problem in the equation.

This is great news because the human problem is not only the problem for how cyberattacks are allowed on a network, but the human problem can also be attributed to how cyberattacks are missed once they are on the network.

An added bonus is enabled automated responses, but it may take some time before security and network professionals are willing to let machine-learning algorithms determine when to make network changes or quarantine devices on the network.

NDR systems will continue to provide a platform to reduce the human challenges of creating havoc on the network and not identifying the problem quickly enough once those threats appear.

2021 is shaping up to be the year of NDR, and that just might make the human problem less of a problem.
