From Blind Spots to Proactive Defense: How NDR Stopped Lateral Attacks

A leading merchant faced challenges in detecting lateral movement within their network, relying on perimeter security measures that allowed attackers to move undetected once inside. Intertec implemented a next-generation Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution integrated with the client’s SIEM platform. This solution provided continuous monitoring, real-time threat detection, and advanced machine learning capabilities to identify anomalies. Intertec also provided comprehensive Security Operations Center (SOC) services, ensuring seamless management of the NDR platform.

Business Problem

The client faced significant security challenges due to their reliance on perimeter security, which left them vulnerable to attackers who could move laterally across the network after breaching initial defenses. This lateral movement compromised critical systems containing sensitive customer data. Traditional security tools failed to detect these subtle intrusions, leading to delayed threat responses, increased risk of data breaches, and difficulties in managing network security and mitigating potential risks effectively.

How Intertec Helped

Intertec worked closely with the client to design and deploy an advanced NDR solution capable of identifying subtle lateral movement that traditional security tools missed. Our team:

Deployed the NDR solution for continuous monitoring of network traffic, focusing on detecting unusual user and device behavior.
Integrated the NDR system with the existing SIEM platform, enabling centralized threat monitoring and streamlined threat analysis.
Provided comprehensive SOC services, including training for the security team on the NDR platform’s features and functionality.
Managed and optimized the NDR solution, ensuring it operated seamlessly within the client’s existing security infrastructure.

Business Outcomes Delivered

The implementation of the NDR solution significantly strengthened network security, improved threat detection, and reduced operational risks.

Reduced dwell time by 65%, minimizing attackers’ time within the network.
Prevented a major data breach by detecting lateral movement early.
Increased security team efficiency, enabling proactive threat mitigation.
Enhanced overall network security through continuous monitoring and SIEM integration.
