OpenText Network Detection & Response

Defend against threats with real-time network monitoring and response

OpenText Network Detection & Response platform on computer

Robust network threat detection and response

Security teams often struggle with alert fatigue, blind spots in east-west traffic, lack of context for threat triage, and limited visibility into encrypted traffic.

Eliminate blind spots with OpenText Network Detection & Response

OpenText™ Network Detection & Response combines signature inspection, anomaly detection, and machine learning to give security teams complete visibility across their networks with real-time network monitoring and response. With SmartPCAP, seamless integrations, and adaptive sensors, it quickly detects known and hidden threats, correlates alerts, and automates response—all without overloading your SOC.
