What is a Managed NDR?
A Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution is a security software that continuously monitors an organisation’s network to detect suspicious activities and cyber threats. It goes beyond the scope of traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) as it can also be used on encrypted traffic and on links with a high bandwidth, whereas IDS rely on deep packet inspection which consumes more.
It is considered an essential tool to protect corporate networks from advanced cyberattacks, data breaches and lateral movements, thanks to network traffic analysis in real-time, which provides a complete visibility across all users, devices, and tools connected to that network.
A Managed NDR leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies and algorithms, allowing for a thorough predictive risk analysis and a better security posture. The managed part helps in saving costs and getting more threat intelligence.
Why Alter Solutions’ Managed NDR?
Real-time non-intrusive monitoring
NDR specialises in network traffic analysis, provides real-time insights and, therefore, is able to detect anomalies and threats without disrupting network performance and operations, since it is not placed in cut-through.
Threat and lateral movement detection
By leveraging AI and ML, NDR is capable of identifying the most intrusive malwares, zero-day attacks, and other threats. It is also capable of detecting lateral movement within the network, meaning the spread of a threat from a device or user to another.
Significant cost savings
Just like our Managed EDR service or any other specialised 24/7 cybersecurity service, an NDR is most beneficial when outsourced, since investing in an in-house team to perform a comprehensive NDR service is costly and time-consuming.
Performance optimisation
Our Managed NDR service offers insights about network and application performance, traffic patterns, and so on, helping you make better decisions and improve efficiency. Our experts will also provide valuable advice on how to best manage your network security resources.
Agnostic and flexible
We are technologically agnostic, meaning that we embrace several NDR technologies and prioritise those that align most effectively with your organisation’s security needs. If you already have a preferred NDR partner, we'll keep honouring that.
Top security expertise
Our cybersecurity analysts and engineers will employ the best tools to make sure your NDR strategy stays tuned at all times. Their experience came from managing threats on a daily basis with our different clients, so they will be able to provide their expertise acquired across various sectors.

FAQ
Just like EDR, NDR is one of the security tools used by our Managed SOC experts to enhance our threat detection capabilities and achieve a comprehensive view of an organisation’s security posture.
Thanks to advanced AI, ML, and analytics tools, an NDR solution is capable of detecting both known and unknown threats and vulnerabilities, such connections to suspicious domains, data leakage, lateral movement, suspicious user behaviour, and brute-force attacks, among others.
Outsourcing an NDR service is a very cost-effective solution when compared to hiring, training, and maintaining in an in-house team and infrastructure to ensure an NDR service 24/7, while keeping your internal resources focused on core business activities. Plus, a Managed NDR is essential to improve an organisation’s threat detection and response capabilities thanks to sophisticated AI and ML technologies, to provide real-time monitoring and network performance optimisation. You usually also get more CTI feeds and custom rules that come from the experience of our experts with other clients.
All businesses, regardless of their size and scope, should have a cybersecurity strategy, which can implement an NDR solution. There are different NDR products available, so a thorough analysis of an organisation’s infrastructure and security needs is key to select the most suitable option.
