Vectra AI, Inc., the leader in AI-driven XDR (extended detection and response), announced it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Network Detection and Response 2024 Vendor Assessment.
According to the report, “The biggest strength that Vectra AI has is the types of telemetry it gathers and correlates.” The report goes on to say, “It can be argued that in all cybersecurity, the biggest problem is separating the signal from the noise. Vectra AI is designed to condense alerts into a workable, well-enriched handful of alerts. To do this, Vectra AI uses an entity-centric approach called Attack Signal Intelligence.”
Sixty percent of security operations center (SOC) practitioners say vendors are selling threat detection tools that create too much noise and too many alerts, resulting in growing vendor distrust and tool dissatisfaction. Third-party reports like the IDC MarketScape, which rely on a rigorous scoring methodology and customer references, play a critical role in helping security leaders make informed decisions while searching for replacements for legacy tools.
The IDC MarketScape report also noted, “Vectra references said that Vectra AI did a superior job of finding detections against other vendors in the proof-of-concept stage of engagement.”

The report also noted, “The proprietary scoring used to determine ‘response’ priority is preferred over most alert prioritization scoring systems, the subtle difference being that the response itself and the potential blast surface are considered.”
“Network detection and response (NDR) has traditional strengths in that it uses activity within the network and at the time of ingress/egress to find anomalies that should be investigated – new port activity, evidence of beaconing, and impossible travel are such use cases,” notes Chris Kissel, IDC vice-president Security & Trust. “Vectra AI is good at these types of detections, but what really gives Vectra AI lift, is the ability to consider endpoint and identity logs as well as logs from public clouds to build a comprehensive picture of adversarial behavior while maintain low false positives.”
“We agree with the IDC MarketScape report that network detection and response (NDR) is especially powerful when combined with other tools,” said Mark Wojtasiak, vice president of research and strategy at Vectra AI. “Today’s SOC teams need visibility into a hybrid attack surface that extends from the network to identity and cloud. And that is what we have done with the Vectra AI Platform. With our patented Attack Signal Intelligence, we connect the dots in real-time giving SOC teams integrated and accurate detection of real attacks across their entire hybrid environment.”
