Sangfor Technologies is proud to be recognized as a Key Player and one of the three non-U.S.-headquartered NDR providers in the recently published Gartner Competitive Landscape: Network Detection and Response¹. This guide provides a detailed analysis of key trends impacting end-user adoption and shaping market growth, NDR product differentiation and use cases, and competitive profiles of NDR vendors.
What is NDR and Why is it Important?
Network Detection and Response (NDR) is defined as follows in the Competitive Landscape:
Network detection and response (NDR) detects abnormal system behaviors, notably by applying behavioral analytics to network traffic data. NDR solutions include detection,hunting, forensics and response capabilities. NDR is often delivered as a combination of virtual appliances and cloud-based services, although hardware appliances are also available. In particular, organizations with high security needs (like government and finance) tend to use NDR.
Gartner has forecast worldwide NDR end-user spending in constant currency (both on-premises and cloud-based) to grow to $2.63 billion by 2027, virtually doubling compared to 2022 ($1.38 billion) and exhibiting average yearly growth of 14% from 2022 to 2027.
We believe these growth forecasts underscore the rising awareness among businesses of NDR’s powerful capabilities. Organizations seeking advanced threat detection, complete and real-time visibility, and automated incident response are increasingly turning to NDR solutions. Especially with the rise of cloud adoption, NDR solutions are gaining momentum as they help secure cloud and hybrid environments.
