According to Mohnish Rathore, Analyst at QKS Group, " Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions are essential for uncovering threats that bypass traditional perimeter defenses. By leveraging behavioral analytics, machine learning, and full packet inspection, NDR provides deep visibility into east-west traffic and lateral movement within the network. These platforms not only detect anomalies in real time but also empower security teams with rich contextual data for threat hunting and incident response. The real value of NDR, however, comes from its ability to evolve—adapting to emerging threats through continuous learning, integration with threat intelligence, and alignment with a proactive, threat-informed defense strategy."
