Frost Radar: Network Detection and Response, 2025

A Benchmarking System to Spark Companies to Action - Innovation That Fuels New Deal Flow and Growth Pipelines

The rapid evolution of enterprise IT environments, driven by cloud adoption, the internet of things, and distributed work, has rendered legacy perimeter defenses inadequate. Network detection and response (NDR) has emerged as a strategic imperative, providing continuous visibility into network traffic to detect and respond to advanced, stealthy threats that evade endpoint or perimeter tools. Leveraging deep packet inspection, behavioral analytics, and artificial intelligence, NDR strengthens threat hunting, reduces alert fatigue, and accelerates incident response, addressing both security complexity and talent shortages.

NDR market participants range from pure-play vendors to integrated platform providers, each seeking to close critical visibility gaps. Competitive intensity is high, fueled by open-source adoption, rapid innovation, and regulatory and cyber insurance requirements. Artificial intelligence is both a weapon for adversaries and a transformative enabler for defenders, shaping detection accuracy, scalability, and automation. This Frost Radar™ benchmarks leading NDR vendors on their innovation and growth capabilities, highlighting companies driving the future of this market. It also identifies best practices, growth opportunities, and strategies for differentiation, particularly as organizations demand greater integration, simplified operations, and measurable business outcomes. NDR is no longer optional-it is central to defending today's dynamic digital enterprises.
