FEATURE: CYBERSECURITY
TRADITIONAL ENDPOINT DEFENCES CAN NO LONGER KEEP UP WITH THE SCALE AND SOPHISTICATION OF MODERN CYBERATTACKS threat investigations. Automated triage and seamless integration with SIEM and SOAR platforms further streamline workflows, reducing the mean time to respond and improving operational efficiency.
Making NDR work: what you need to do to succeed
NDR platforms offer plenty of flexibility, but too much tinkering can backfire. Over-customisation may obscure real threats; under-customisation can lead to alert storms. The secret is to tailor NDR to the unique needs of your environment. can detect threats even when payloads are hidden behind encryption.
Recent advances have introduced LLM-powered features in technology that act as tireless junior analysts, tracking incidents, summarising findings and recommending or even automating response actions. This integration of intelligent automation boosts coverage while freeing skilled analysts to focus on higher-value investigations.
AI-driven NDR platforms also help solve one of the most persistent challenges in security operations: alert fatigue. By correlating and prioritising incidents, NDR ensures teams don’ t drown in noise but stay focused on genuine high-risk threats.
Deep historical visibility reveals lateral movement and tracks activity across the network, laying the groundwork for meaningful audits and extended
• Define your priorities: Identify specific threats you want to target – for example internal misuse or suspicious east-west traffic. Don’ t attempt to monitor everything at once. Focus first on your highest-risk areas.
• Ensure data quality: The effectiveness of NDR depends on the quality of data it ingests. Use reliable sources to avoid missing incidents or generating noise.
• Filter thoughtfully: Start with broad alert filters then refine them based on observed activity. Adjust sensitivity thresholds to match your organisation’ s true risk profile.
• Commit to continuous tuning: NDR optimisation is ongoing. Regularly review outcomes, test rules and adapt configurations to ensure your solution grows smarter and more efficient over time.
For Asia Pacific organisations, tuning must also take into account local compliance requirements. In
