Enhanced detection coverage with high-fidelity network signatures integrated into RevealX NDR.

ExtraHop IDS is the next evolution of intrusion detection technology. Harnessing network data and tens of thousands of high-fidelity network signatures, ExtraHop IDS provides high-risk CVE exploit identification, contextualized alerts, and full-spectrum investigation workflows. ExtraHop IDS analyzes both east-west and north-south traffic with enhanced decryption capabilities, and can better address compliance requirements set by PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST, and more.

Deeper Detection
Coverage

  • Real-time detections of known exploits with tens of thousands of curated signatures.
  • High-fidelity detections curated by the ExtraHop Threat Research team.
  • Detect known threats in encrypted network traffic and have east-west visibility.

Strengthened Response

  • Enhanced response capabilities with integrated Reveal(x) workflows.
  • Advanced triage with integrated risk scoring, correlation, and investigation.
  • Native and turnkey integrations with CrowdStrike, Splunk, and other leading security providers.

Reduce Compliance Risk and Resources

  • Deploy and manage physical and virtual IDS sensors from the same Reveal(x) NDR platform.
  • Automated cloud updates including health and rule updates for sensors with restricted access.
  • Stay ahead of security governance and compliance requirements from PCI DSS, NIST, and more.

Challenges

Common Pitfalls of Standalone IDS

Securing the perimeter has become increasingly difficult

BYOD, remote and hybrid work, IoT devices, multi-cloud environments, and third party services have blurred the edges of the traditional network perimeter, yet these devices, workloads, and environments must be accounted for to reduce cyber risk. Legacy IDS solutions were built on a traditional network model where the focus was on monitoring the separation of internal and external networks.

According to the 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, external actors were responsible for 83% of breaches.

Automated security workflows

Standalone IDS stops at alerts, leaving time-strapped analysts searching for root cause with other investigation tools. ExtraHop IDS offers full-spectrum attack detection and investigation by blending cloud-scale ML with rule-based insights to expose and contain threats in the network.
