Network Traffic Analysis (NTA)
As one of the native capabilities of Stellar Cyber's
intelligent security operations platform
Network detection and response (NDR) has a long history, evolving out of network security and network traffic analysis (NTA). The historical definition of network security is to use a perimeter firewall and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to screen traffic coming into the network, but as IT technology and security technology have evolved due to modern attacks leveraging more complex approaches, the definition is much broader now.
As one of the native capabilities of Stellar Cyber's intelligent security operations platform
NDR detects suspicious events that other network security tools
are missing, improving MTTI over 8x
The Right Data With Accurate Cybersecurity Analysis
- Collect the right network security L2-L7 metadata and files for > 4,000 network applications from packets
- Collect traffic data including NGFW logs, and network devices NetFlow and IPFix
- Normalize and enrich the data from many sources to build rich context for accurate security analysis
- Build actionable, searchable and readable Interflow™ records stored in a single, efficient big data lake
- Maintain high data availability through buffering, replication, redundancy, and years of configurable long term storage
- Provide 360 degree visibility for both north/south and east/west traffic, traffic inside public cloud, and traffic between containers
The Right Data With Accurate Cybersecurity Analysis
- Apply machine learning, both supervised and unsupervised, and deep learning to analyze Interflow™ records in real time
- Advance signature-based detections with machine learning to improve fidelity.
- Integrate advanced persistent threat (APT) and malware detection to provide a unified detection across the kill chain
- Tightly integrate and correlate with EDR, CDR, Vulnerability scanning, IoC, etc. on a single Open XDR platform
- Trigger automatic responses through direct NGFW, EDR and Active Directory integration, through SOAR integration or through incumbent SIEM systems
- Threat hunting via flexible global text search – manually or through automation
Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) Components
Sensors
Stellar Cyber offers a variety of physical and virtual sensors that package together Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), Machine Learning Intrusion Detection System (ML-IDS) and a malware sandbox for zero-day malware analysis.
Integrations
NDR works smoothly with your existing NGFWs so you can leverage what you already have, while using the sensors to fill coverage gaps.
Data Lake
To correlate risk and threats across every aspect of your network, data has to be aggregated and stored in a central Data Lake. Stellar Cyber’s Data Lake scales with your network so that you can have full coverage.
Threat Intelligence
Stellar Cyber automatically normalizes data and enriches it with multiple built-in Threat Intelligence feeds at no additional cost. Works out of the box, yet allows you to customize with your own feeds if you want.
AI Engine
The scale of modern networks demands AI for automated detection and response. Stellar Cyber ships out-of-the-box with AI-powered detections and correlations for NDR and UEBA so you can get up and running as quickly to detect every type of threat.
Automated Response
Take action automatically, or manually with one-click, straight from the single console of the same Open XDR Platform. Block traffic, contain hosts, disable users and more.
