ExtraHop – Leveraging network detection and response solutions that can't be outsmarted

Networks are the foundation of today’s connected world. They allow millions of people, devices, apps and systems to talk with one another every minute of the day. Without networks, modern communication as we know it would cease to exist. Today’s organizations depend on networks and their critical role in overall IT infrastructure. So, it’s no surprise that networks are a prime target of attackers looking to disrupt organizations and governments around the world. This is when Network detection and response (NDR) plays a crucial role. NDR solutions use a combination of non-signature-based advanced analytical techniques such as machine learning to detect suspicious network activity. This enables teams to respond to anomalous or malicious traffic and threats that other security tools miss. NDR solutions continuously monitor and analyze raw enterprise network traffic to generate a baseline of normal network behavior. When suspicious network traffic patterns that deviate from this baseline are detected, NDR tools alert security teams to the potential presence of threats within their environment. Networks are extending into the cloud and continuously growing in both size and complexity. This has led to an unprecedented volume of data traversing the distributed network and created a perfect environment for malicious actors to hide in. NDR solutions solve this problem by collecting telemetry from network devices and applying analytical techniques like machine learning to detect threats that other tools miss.

ExtraHop is one such company which is on a mission to stop advanced threats with security that can’t be undermined, outsmarted, or compromised. Their dynamic cyber defense platform uses cloud-scale AI to help enterprises detect and respond to advanced threats––before they compromise your business. The company's most-trusted Reveal(x) 360 platform combines the power of cloud-scale AI with the simplicity of SaaS to defend against advanced threats like supply chain attacks, APTs, and zero days, providing security from core to cloud to edge. Cyberattackers can't hide on the network, but ExtraHop can, giving security teams a secret weapon to detect threats, investigate incidents, and stop breaches fast—before they compromise your business.

The Reveal(x) 360 Platform: Leveraging Unified Threat Intelligence

Securing the modern enterprise means protecting a complex web of workloads consisting of hardware, applications, and data spread across edge, core, remote workforce, and cloud deployments. As organizations expand their presence in the cloud they are also increasing their use of containerized deployments and experiencing challenges in maintaining visibility. With ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360, you can unify security controls across hybrid, multicloud, containerized and IoT environments with network detection and response (NDR)—truly cloud-native security.

SaaS-based Reveal(x) 360 provides unified security across on-premises and cloud environments, 360-degree visibility and situational intelligence without friction, and immediate value with a low management burden. In AWS environments, Reveal(x) 360 combines the breadth of VPC Flow Logs with the depth of packets for multi-layered threat intelligence. Perimeter-focused security tools often rely on fixed agents or logs that can leave visibility gaps, miss critical threats, and add unnecessary friction to DevOps processes. SaaS-based Reveal(x) 360 leverages native integrations with cloud service provider packet mirroring features to provide agentless visibility, packet-level granularity, and security at scale.

Strategic XDR

An integrated, best-in-class XDR strategy allows security teams to choose the best products for their environment without the fear of vendor lock-in. By integrating the leading endpoint, network, and log-based security solutions, your team can benefit from a streamlined incident response approach and achieve complete end-to-end visibility. ExtraHop works with other leading security solutions to build integrated workflows natively in ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360. When you pursue XDR as a strategy and achieve effective integrations between the foundational data sources of network, endpoints, and logs, you reduce the intelligence gap inside your environment. Attack behavior that may be obscured or entirely absent from one intelligence source becomes clear with correlation. By automating this correlation, you free up analysts to focus on more impactful tasks, leading to faster, more effective threat investigation and response. The system will allow for increased efficiency amongst the team by identifying threats, resulting in the team being able to focus on priority security threats. It prevents data breaches in an organization as it thoroughly checks for any suspicious links, domains, or IP addresses that are trying to access your enterprise. This analysis also helps in establishing ironclad security protocols which will prevent your enterprise from suffering from attacks.
