ExtraHop
announced that it was named a notable vendor by Forrester Research in
the Network Analysis and Visibility Landscape, Q1 2023.
The Landscape states, "Traditionally, organizations implicitly trusted
the networks used to connect to company resources; malicious actors
could abuse that trust and move laterally within organizations
undetected. This lateral movement is often prelude to the exfiltration
of high-value data and execution of destructive attacks like ransomware.
Zero trust (ZT) architecture, which assumes that networks are
inherently untrusted, requires visibility into and analysis of internal
network traffic."
As more organizations move to adopt a ZT approach to cybersecurity,
network detection and response (NDR) can accelerate the process by
enhancing visibility into all aspects of the network, including hybrid
networks, cloud transactions, and device types. The ExtraHop Reveal(x)
360 platform can automate the discovery of every asset on the network
and profile each managed, unmanaged, or rogue device to detect malicious
activity before it's too late.
The Landscape identifies five core use cases for the network analysis
and visibility market: hybrid cloud/multicloud threat detection; packet
capture with retrospective analysis; MITRE ATT&CK framework mapping;
EDR, XDR, and intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) telemetry data
ingestion and correlation; and application dependency mapping.
ExtraHop has a long history of identifying network-detectable
cyberattack behaviors. With its industry-leading expertise, ExtraHop was
the first and only NDR provider to be listed as a contributor to the
MITRE ATT&CK framework and the first to natively integrate
ATT&CK into its product's interface to help organizations identify
gaps in their threat detection capabilities. Its retrospective threat
intelligence, which applies new threat intelligence to suspicious
network activity that happened in the past, also helps users identify
broader attack campaigns.
"Network visibility has become an integral part of an organization's
cybersecurity strategy as attackers' tactics, techniques, and procedures
rapidly evolve," said Jesse Rothstein, co-founder and CTO, ExtraHop.
"We believe Forrester's recognition of ExtraHop in the Network Analysis
and Visibility Landscape further proves that the network is the go-to
data source for detection and response, and reasserts our position as a
trusted NDR partner."
