SOC Efficiency: The Most Valuable Cybersecurity Asset

🔍 Efficiency in security is about focus, not speed. ESG research finds 53% of organizations credit NDR with improving SOC analyst efficiency by reducing false positives and eliminating blind spots. Continuous packet capture and full-fidelity network visibility let analysts of all levels investigate with greater confidence and speed. NETSCOUT Omnis Cyber Intelligence is offered as a solution to provide that visibility and maximize scarce human resources.

Network Visibility: The Thread Holding Cybersecurity

🔍 ESG research shows that environmental complexity, not malware or phishing, is viewed by most organizations as the primary barrier to effective detection and response. As alerts proliferate and validation can take hours, teams are turning to the one transit every attack must cross — the network — for a reliable, unbiased source of truth. Shared network visibility between SecOps and NetOps, together with continuous packet capture, improves investigation speed and confidence. Vendors such as NETSCOUT Omnis Cyber Intelligence (OCI) deliver alert-independent, packet-level context and deep packet inspection to reduce dwell time and streamline incident response.

Detecting Dark Web Threats on Your Network with NDR

🔍 Network Detection and Response (NDR) can reveal dark web activity that hides within routine enterprise traffic by identifying anonymization protocols, unusual ports, and anomalous behavioral patterns. The article outlines four practical steps: identify dark web gateways (Tor, I2P, Freenet), understand NDR capabilities, deploy sensors across core, edge and internal segments, and run detection and hunting workflows including baselining, Tor/I2P/P2P monitoring, DNS and VPN checks. It emphasizes automated alerts for characteristic Tor ports and signatures, lateral-movement detection, C2 beaconing analysis, and enrichment with threat intelligence, and highlights Corelight’s Open NDR Platform as a vendor solution.
