NetWitness launches comprehensive XDR offerings for next-generation security

NetWitness, a global provider of cybersecurity technologies and incident response, recently announced NetWitness XDR, a family of products and capabilities that provide comprehensive detection and response on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid of the two. This new offering and product architecture provide enterprises with the full range of deployment options they require to meet their specific cybersecurity needs and use cases.

NetWitness XDR provides a robust set of capabilities for extended detection and response (XDR), assisting customers in staying ahead of the most sophisticated cyber threats. These include:

1. Unified collection, data, and visibility across multiple security layers

2. Automatic enrichment of data using any technical or business source

3. A wide toolset of detection technologies including, but not limited to, advanced behavioral analysis

4. External and internal threat intelligence to identify known security risks and threat actors

5. Truly insightful context, visualization, and investigation tools

6. Threat hunting tools and methodologies to identify previously unknown threats

7. Highly repeatable and measurable incident investigation and response processes

8. A strong array of both automated and human response options

“NetWitness has enjoyed the trust of some of the Middle East’s largest and most security sensitive organizations because of its unique ability to monitor the entire attack surface across the network, endpoint, cloud, IoT, logs and more,” said Martin Sutherland, NetWitness General Manager of Middle East, Turkey and Africa. “Our ability is to streamline the complexities of managing a Cybersecurity strategy and provide a cost effective fully featured architecture with less requirements for managing, training and integration. We have been delivering XDR capability to the Middle East for several years and today we are delighted to announce new innovations in the platform and reintroduce it to the market as NetWitness XDR.”

NetWitness XDR will be divided into three main product lines under this new model, showcasing its uniquely powerful support for all XDR use cases. NetWitness Platform XDR 12 is the company’s most recent major release. This technology stack has been enhanced to focus on detection capabilities that identify threats faster and reduce their impact. It is typically deployed as customer-managed software or hosted by MSSPs.

NetWitness Vision XDR, the company’s new cloud-native SaaS version, is currently in design preview. NetWitness XDR Cloud Services, the third product line, is a set of optional SaaS applications that take advantage of the cloud’s inherent elastic nature to deliver flexible and cost-effective components that can be used to augment either Platform XDR or Vision XDR.

“Our network-forward approach allows us to stand out in this emerging space and highlights NetWitness XDR’s ability to detect across customers’ growing number of systems and devices,” said Director of Product Management and Research, Kevin Bowers. “We are embracing the belief that the best XDR must be consumable on prem, in the cloud, and hybrid.”
