1. Detecting the Next Breach: How to Win the War With NSX NDR – Chad Skipper – ESW #249
When it comes to detecting the next cyber breach, would your organization pass the test? Of course, in real life, you not only need to ace the practice exam – you need to test against the real threats. So when SE Labs recently conducted the industry’s first network detection and response (NDR) test against NSX NDR, they used a range of advanced persistent threats designed to compromise systems and penetrate target networks in the same way as criminals and other attackers breach systems and networks. And the result? VMware NSX Network Detection and Response (NDR) was able to detect every targeted attack and tracked each of the hostile activities that occurred during the attacks. Every. One.
