BEYOND EDR
Modern attackers have one objective — to get on your network
Modern attackers routinely avoid, fool, and disarm EDR agents. Stop them with modern NDR.
WHY EVERY EDR NEEDS NDR
EDR alone fails to stop modern attacks
Endpoints aren’t the whole story, and EDR agents can’t stand alone in protecting modern hybrid environments.
50%
of devices don’t have or can’t support EDR agents. IoT, OT, and unmanaged endpoints are all prime targets.
100s
of EDR evasion tools are sold as affordable subscription services, making them highly accessible to a broad range of threat actors.
71%
of SOC teams worry that real attacks are buried in a flood of alerts from EDR and other tools.
HOW IT WORKS
The Vectra AI Platform extends your coverage to detect the attacks EDR can’t
Attackers don’t stop at the endpoint, and every attack generates network activity EDR alone won’t capture.
Detect threats where EDR agents are avoided
Continuously monitor every device, managed or not.
See unmanaged, IoT, and OT devices without deploying software agents.
Monitor critical servers and cloud workloads where agents are impractical.
Detect attacker behaviors in real time, even on rogue or shadow IT assets.
Detect threats when EDR is fooled or disabled
Ensure attackers can’t hide after bypassing your EDR.
Detect persistence and privilege abuse even after agents are disabled.
Spot lateral movement between compromised hosts without relying on logs.
Identify command-and-control traffic and exfiltration attempts attackers try to mask.
Detect account compromise and lateral movement
Surface high-risk activity that EDR alone can’t see.
Detect use of compromised credentials and privilege abuse.
Expose lateral movement between servers, cloud workloads, and domain controllers.
Correlate endpoint alerts with identity and network telemetry for full attack context.
Reduce alert fatigue and false positives
Filter out low-fidelity EDR alerts to focus on the threats that matter most.
Cut false positives by up to 99%, freeing analysts from chasing noise.
Prioritize high-fidelity detections tied to attacker behaviors, not generic anomalies.
Streamline triage and investigations with correlated, context-rich alerts.
Improve SOC visibility, efficiency, and efficacy
Drive faster, more effective response by stitching together endpoint, network, identity, and cloud signals.
Gain unified visibility across all attack surfaces in one platform.
Correlate detections automatically to confirm real threats.
Accelerate investigations with clear context and evidence for response.

FAQs
How the Vectra AI Platform extends your coverage
How does the Vectra AI Platform extend my EDR?
EDR monitors activity on endpoints, but it can’t see unmanaged devices, network traffic, or identity abuse. Vectra AI adds agentless detection across network, identity, and cloud, then correlates those signals with endpoint alerts to confirm real attacks faster and eliminate blind spots.
What types of attacks can Vectra AI detect that EDR can’t?
The Vectra AI Platform uses AI-driven behavioral detections to find attackers as they compromise unmanaged IoT/OT devices, move laterally between hosts and domain controllers, steal credentials and escalate privileges, and covert C2 channels — even those hidden in encrypted traffic.
Will adding NDR just increase the number of alerts my SOC has to handle?
No. Vectra AI filters out noise at scale, significantly cutting false positives. Instead of sending every anomaly, it delivers a curated feed of high-fidelity detections tied to attacker behaviors. As a result, customers see and stop the most dangerous attacks within 24 hours — 99% faster than the average time it takes to find and contain breaches involving stolen credentials.
Why can’t I just deploy more EDR agents to fix the gaps?
Because not every device supports an agent. IoT, OT, BYOD, and legacy systems often can’t run EDR. Even when agents are deployed, attackers use tampering or evasion techniques to blind them. Vectra AI provides agentless coverage that attackers can’t bypass.
How does Vectra AI detect identity-based attacks?
By monitoring authentication, privilege use, and lateral movement in Active Directory, Kerberos, and cloud identity systems. Vectra AI reveals when credentials are stolen or abused, even if the endpoint looks normal, so SOC teams can stop account takeover early.
Does NDR replace my EDR solution?
No. EDR is essential for protecting managed endpoints. Vectra AI complements EDR by adding visibility into unmanaged devices, network traffic, identity behaviors, and cloud control planes — creating full attack coverage when the two are used together.
How do Vectra AI detections impact SOC workflows?
SOC teams see fewer, higher-quality alerts, faster triage, and more confident incident response. Customers report faster investigations and major efficiency gains because detections are correlated automatically across multiple attack surfaces.
