Today, Security Operations Center (SOC) teams often lack critical resources: personnel, budget, time, and tools. Overworked security analysts lack visibility into their network assets or the ability to identify covert threat actors using "living-off-the-land" techniques to hide within legitimate traffic. This constant stress can lead to burnout and attrition within the industry, while also providing cybercriminals with more avenues for attack.
Many XDR-focused vendors have limited capabilities for native network analysis or lack sufficient NDR integrations altogether. Security teams are also constrained by NDR products that rely solely on basic anomaly detection and machine learning by default, leading to false positives and longer mean time to detection and containment (MTTD/MTTC). Integrating NDR features into a comprehensive security platform makes existing XDR tools more robust and provides greater value than a standalone product.
Kevin Simzer, COO of Trend: “Threat actors love unmanaged assets, such as routers, laptops, firewalls, and even smart devices, because they create security blind spots from which to launch new attacks. That’s why we offer something different from most XDRs on the market. Our network telemetry lets you know where your unmanaged assets are and what they’re doing at all times, leaving attackers with nowhere to hide.”
