    Network Detection & Response (NDR)
    8 products

    Darktrace is a network detection and response vendor centered on self-learning behavioral analytics for north-south and east-west traffic. Its NDR product baselines normal activity for users, devices, and segments, then flags anomalous connections, command-and-control behavior, data transfer outliers, and other suspicious network patterns in on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. The platform is aimed at teams that need visibility beyond endpoint telemetry and want automated investigation and containment for network-level threats, including encrypted traffic and novel attack paths. Darktrace also sells adjacent security products, but this profile is limited to NDR capabilities.

    ExtraHop is an NDR vendor focused on inspecting east-west and north-south network traffic to detect suspicious activity, encrypted threats, and lateral movement. Its RevealX platform uses packet-level visibility, protocol decoding, and behavioral analytics to help SOC teams investigate incidents down to individual transactions without agents on endpoints. ExtraHop is well suited for enterprises that need forensic depth across hybrid and multi-cloud networks, especially where packet evidence and decrypted traffic are important for breach analysis and threat hunting. The vendor also offers adjacent network performance and IDS capabilities, but its NDR product is the core security use case.

    Extreme Networks ExtremeControl is a centralized Network Access Control (NAC) solution that enforces role-based access policies for wired, wireless LAN, and VPN users across multi-vendor switches and access points. It integrates authentication via 802.1X, Web-based, Kerberos, and RADIUS; vulnerability assessment for security posture checks; and location services to authorize endpoints. ExtremeControl engines detect devices by MAC/IP addresses, assign VLANs or policy roles on Extreme switches, support RFC 3580 quarantine, IPv6, Microsoft NAP, and TNC interoperability. Best for enterprises with Extreme Networks infrastructure seeking BYOD, IoT, and granular post-connect enforcement with assisted remediation.
