By leveraging existing tools and data, it accelerates response, reduces dwell time, and strengthens resilience against lateral movement and advanced attacks.

The Case for Network Detection and Response While attackers love to target endpoints, their second favorite entry point into your environment is vulnerabilities and weak points on your network. Whether it’s an open port, unpatched vulnerabilities, or a weak website, attackers that gain access to your network can carry out massive distributed attacks that can bring your company to a grinding halt. Previously, you needed networking experts using complex tools to detect threats as they moved across your network. Not anymore. Stellar Cyber NDR is the most comprehensive, easiest-to-use NDR, enabling you to identify, investigate, and eliminate attacks faster than ever.
