Network detection and response (NDR): the value of evidence

What exactly is NDR, how have these technologies changed over the years, and are they more relevant now than ever?

To help answer these questions, Robby is joined by Jean Schaffer. She’s had, to say the least, an interesting career with more than 33 years of experience from the US Department of Defense. Including managing the network of the NSA, and holding the position of CISO of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Currently she’s the Federal CTO at Corelight, an open-source network detection and response company.

During their conversation, they talk about the differences, limitations and benefits of EDR and NDR, what evidence based detection really is, and President Biden’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity.

She also shares some of the most common pain points she’s observed that organisations are looking to solve, as well as go into how the adaption of cloud affects the value of NDR, and her take on the future of NDR.
