Episode 46 — Understand EDR and NDR Visibility for Defensive Technologies and Emerging Intelligence
Deep visibility into both hosts and networks is critical for modern defense, and this episode examines the unique roles of E D R and N D R in the technology stack. We define Endpoint Detection and Response (E D R) as monitoring for process and file behavior on individual machines and Network Detection and Response (N D R) as the analysis of internal traffic patterns. The discussion explains why visibility is a mandatory complement to prevention, especially when attackers successfully bypass traditional perimeter controls. You will learn how to pivot from a host-level alert to supporting network evidence to build a confident containment case. We explore why encrypted traffic still yields useful metadata clues and how to baseline normal behavior to detect meaningful deviations. Mastering these visibility tools ensures you can see the continuous narrative of an attack through both the micro actions of the host and the macro movement of the network.
