Evaluate your NDR solution’s effectiveness in detecting threats, stopping data leaks, and speeding response

NDR Assessment

Ensuring complete network security is one of the major challenges organizations and leaders face today. Since the attackers are becoming more advanced with the help of AI and other advanced technologies, it’s essential to protect the network from exploiting encrypted traffic, moving across the network, and bypassing existing security solutions. In many cases, it’s hard for security teams to detect and respond to threats early due to the weaknesses with the network security systems they use.

A robust and proactive NDR (Network Detection and Response) solution will help organizations with continuous network visibility, in-depth analysis, and genuine alerts, more than just offering monitoring options. It should help organizations detect even hidden threats, prevent data exfiltration, and allow them to respond quickly to alerts based on priority.

This checklist helps you evaluate if your NDR solution provides full visibility, strong threat detection, and fast response to protect your systems, data, and network.

Competencies Strongly Agree (10) Agree (8) Neutral (6) Disagree (4) Strongly Disagree (2)
1. Your NDR solution provides continuous, real-time visibility into all network traffic, including encrypted traffic, email, web, and internal communications.
2. It effectively detects advanced threats like malware, ransomware, lateral movement, and data theft with minimal blind spots.
3. The solution uses metadata, context, and behavior analysis to detect unusual activity across users, devices, and applications.
4. Your NDR integrates with EDR, DLP, and other security tools for unified detection and response.
5. It enables proactive threat hunting and retrospective investigations using stored network events and metadata.
6. The solution provides accurate, clear, and prioritized alerts to minimize noise and alert fatigue.
7. The solution can automatically respond by ending sessions, quarantining emails, dropping network packets, or blocking threats on endpoints.
8. Advanced inspection technologies—including Deep Session Inspection®, malware sandboxing, and machine learning—are applied to detect hidden threats.
9. Your solution maps the organization’s network, including unmanaged devices, IoT assets, and critical servers.
10. It can detect policy violations, insider threats, and attempts to circumvent network defenses.
11. The solution can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid without reducing detection or response.
12. The solution provides actionable reports and analytics that support threat understanding, risk mitigation, and compliance requirements.
13. Vendor support is responsive, and the solution receives regular updates to threat intelligence, detection rules, and software improvements.
