Trellix Network Detection and Response (NDR)

Trellix Network Detection and Response (NDR) is an advanced cybersecurity platform that transforms passive network monitoring into active threat defense by inspecting all hybrid cloud traffic — including both north-south perimeter traffic and east-west lateral movement — to eliminate blind spots, expose unmanaged devices, and detect sophisticated adversaries before they can cause damage. At the core of the platform is Trellix Wise, a built-in generative AI engine that deploys specialized AI agents to automate forensic investigations, convert complex telemetry into plain-language threat narratives, and draft remediation steps automatically, reducing Mean Time to Detect and Respond (MTTD/MTTR) by up to 50%. The platform goes beyond passive monitoring through its "Active NDR" capability, which leverages native Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) engines to block threats in real time at line rate, while also correlating endpoint and email data for a comprehensive, cross-vector view of attacks. Trellix NDR is particularly well-suited for mid-market and enterprise organizations in security-sensitive industries such as financial services, information technology, and government, where it supports SOC analysts, cybersecurity engineers, and IT administrators who need to manage high volumes of alerts with greater speed and accuracy. Key use cases include ransomware detection and containment, lateral threat movement identification, compliance with data protection regulations, and securing air-gapped or highly regulated network environments where cloud-dependent tools fall short.
