Network Detection & Response

79% of organizations are struggling to detect threats hidden within encrypted traffic

Traditional Security Approaches Are Failing

• Cyberattacks Are On The Rise
  • 2021 saw 1.5X as many ransomware attacks as 2020
  • In the first half of 2022, there were 236.1 million ransomware attacks worldwide
• Traditional Security Approaches Are Failing
  • Detecting a breach can take 287 days, increasing the risk of a successful attack
    • In 2022, dwell time between “stealth” intrusions and attack increased 36%, leaving a narrow window to detect and stop intrusions
      • Median intruder dwell
        • 2020: 11 days
        • 2021: 15 days
  • More than 80% of network traffic can no longer be inspected with legacy tools
  • Once inside the network, 72% attackers destroy logs, covering their tracks
  • Analysts must respond to a high volume of alerts without knowing which is the greatest threat
• Dark Space Threatens Network Security
  • 70% of networks are dark space
    • Attackers bypass defenses and have free reign
  • Encrypted traffic provides the cover for almost half of today’s cyberattacks
    • Encrypted traffic is increasing
      • 2016: 53% of web traffic was encrypted
      • 2019: 87% of web traffic was encrypted
      • 2021: Up to 90% of web traffic was encrypted
  • 58% of IT professionals aren’t fully confident they have awareness of every device communication on their network
  • 59% of IT professionals aren’t fully confident in their ability to secure against encrypted traffic threats
    • Lack insights into threats that come from encrypted traffic
    • Lack tools to detect, intercept, and analyze threats

91.5% of malware arrives over encrypted connections

Security Challenges From Encrypted Traffic

• Securing sensitive private data: 70%
  • 33% say private data is their biggest concern
• Cost of security solutions: 59%
• Need to integrate traffic analysis with other systems: 54%
• Complexity of deployment: 53%
• Potential for failing regulatory compliance: 53%
• Latency: 51%
• Added administrative burden: 44%

41% of enterprises feel they don’t a good understanding of how to detect and protect against attacks using encryption to bypass legacy security solutions

An NDR Platform Is Core To Your Security Strategy — Here’s Why

• Network detection and response (NDR) detects suspicious network traffic so your team can respond to hidden threats
  • Encrypted traffic analysis detects malware on secured network sessions without decryption
• NDR solutions and tools can
  • Detect anomalous network traffic that traditional tools miss
  • Alert security teams to traffic anomalies and suspicious activity
  • Monitor all traffic flows across the network, detection threats from sides
  • Provide real-time alerts to improve incident response times
  • Attribute a malicious behavior to a specific IP address
  • Perform forensic analyses to determine how threats progressed
  • Enhance manual incident response and threat hunting efforts
  • Streamline operations and save teams time through automation

You Need ThreatEye’s Next-Generation, AI-Powered NDR Platform

Advanced Behavioral Analysis: Builds a fingerprint of all assets and behavior patterns and monitors for anomalous usage

• Predictive Threat Intelligence: Up-to-date feed with active threat indicators, campaign tracking, and IPs/domains of potential threat actors
