Vectra AI for Network
AI network security that brings visibility to every packet, port, and protocol
Elevate your defenses. Replace legacy intrusion protection with modern attack detection.
Network Coverage Areas
The network is changing. Your coverage should, too.
Vectra AI detections for network surface attackers moving laterally, both east-west and north-south. Across data center, network identity, campus, remote work, cloud network, and OT environments.
Data Center and Campus
Detect when modern network attackers bypass existing perimeter controls such as EDR, SIEM, SOAR, IDS/IPS, PCAP, CWPP, and firewalls.
Network Identity
Identify Active Directory attacks and misuse of command and control by detecting hidden tunnels, SQL injection attempts, suspect domain activity, and more.
Remote Work
Detect attackers exploiting IoT vulnerabilities outside network edge defenses to establish command and control and launch lateral movement or exfiltration attacks.
Cloud Networks
Expose attacks using lift-and-shift methods from on-premises to IaaS, and vice versa.
OT
Reveal attacks targeting critical infrastructure through compromised IT, internet connected OT assets, and compromised third-party technician equipment with malware.
What Makes Our Network Coverage Different
The modern approach to network threat detection
Vectra AI detections for network see what attackers see — one giant networked attack surface — to strengthen your defenses. Here’s how we do it.
Behavior-based Analytics
Unlike network tools that use AI to flag statistical anomalies, our AI continuously adapts to evolving attacker techniques to surface high-fidelity detections aligned to real TTPs.
Detection Without Decryption
Unlike other network detection, investigation, and response tools, the Vectra AI Platform sees through encryption to detect threats — no need for costly, complex decryption. It means less latency and lower risk.
Privilege Access Analytics
Expose privilege abuse across hybrid cloud, network, and identity layers with our patented graph-based AI algorithm. By mapping and monitoring trust relationships between accounts, services, and systems, you can detect escalation and service misuse — even without logs — to contain threats faster and harden access paths across your entire environment.
Advanced C2 Detection
Our AI detects sophisticated command and control techniques including domain fronting, intermittent beaconing, use of legitimate SaaS and cloud channels, and encrypted C2 — all mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics like T1071, T1095, and T1001. These high-fidelity detections are prioritized in real time, enabling your SOC to cut through the noise, respond faster, and stop attackers before lateral movement begins.
Entity Prioritization
We automatically attribute detection events to a specific host or account to prioritize entities. This greatly reduces manual work by reducing 99% of alert noise.
Signature Ingestion
With the Vectra AI Platform, you can ingest Suricata-compatible signatures (such as open-source IDS/IPS rules) to correlate AI detections with behavioral signals. This gives you full context into both known and unknown attacker methods, making threat hunting and investigations faster.
Flexible Deployment
Vectra AI supports a full spectrum of deployment models — including on-premises, air-gapped, SaaS, and hybrid architectures — to meet diverse operational and regulatory requirements. Our threat detection engine leverages advanced AI to provide continuous, real-time visibility and detection across the entire enterprise attack surface, regardless of environment.

“With Vectra AI, I can focus on the highest-risk threats. With other solutions, I have to filter to get rid of hundreds or thousands of false positives.”
“Since deploying Vectra AI, our team can monitor the entire A&M System network for cyberattackers and run the Security Operations Center with incredible efficiency, despite having an extremely lean staff.”
“With the Vectra AI Platform, our global SOC team can look at identity, the cloud, endpoint, and network all in one system. We get the full picture in minutes."

Vectra AI for Network: Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Vectra AI Platform see the network?
Vectra AI views your network the way modern attackers do — as one connected attack surface. Our network detection and response (NDR) capabilities monitor traffic across data centers, campuses, remote users, cloud networks, cloud identities, and IoT — no agents or logs required.
But we don’t stop at initial detections. Our platform is powered by advanced AI that follows attacker behaviors across network, identity, and cloud, revealing threats other tools miss:
- AI for network detects lateral movement, C2, and exfiltration — even in encrypted traffic.
- AI for identity uncovers account takeovers and privilege abuse that bypass MFA.
- AI for cloud exposes attacker behaviors hidden from traditional logging tools.
The result is high-fidelity attack signals for faster detection and response across your hybrid environment, with far less noise.
How does the Vectra AI Platform detect threats in encrypted traffic?
Our real-time AI detections identify attacks within encrypted enterprise protocols like LDAPS and SMBv3 without the need for decryption. In fact, unlike many other network security vendors, Vectra AI never decrypts data — doing so slows network performance and increases your risk of data exposure and privacy law violations. For this reason, Vectra AI’s data scientists have developed a unique approach for detecting threats inside encrypted SSL/TLS 1.3 traffic.
Can Vectra AI scale across hybrid environments?
Yes. Our network visibility extends across data centers, remote locations, and hybrid cloud environments. It forms a foundational layer of threat detection that scales to cover the full attack surface.
How does the Vectra AI Platform detect unknown attacks and complex threats?
The Vectra AI Platform uses more than 150+ behavior-based detection models spanning network, identity, and cloud. These models detect novel attack patterns and zero-day exploits by analyzing deviations from normal behavior across various attack surfaces.
Vectra AI provides comprehensive visibility into the entire network infrastructure, focusing on all network traffic — regardless of the host or identity data source — to accurately distinguish between malicious behaviors and routine network activities. We detect both known and unknown hybrid cloud threats by providing detailed insights into detection processes through enriched metadata, empowering security teams to understand all the data behind an alert. With Vectra AI’s 80% threshold, our AI-driven detection models prioritize alerts deemed to be critical and urgent — instead of simply showing what’s different. This enables security teams to find and stop emerging threats before damage is done.The Vectra AI Platform uses more than 150+ behavior-based detection models spanning network, identity, and cloud.
