Frequently Asked Questions
What is a network sensor in the context of XDR?
A network sensor is a component that monitors network traffic for malicious activity. In an XDR solution, it provides crucial visibility into threats that may originate or move across the network, complementing endpoint and other security data.
How does the Bitdefender XDR Network Sensor differ from endpoint security?
Endpoint security focuses on protecting individual devices like laptops and servers. The network sensor monitors the traffic flowing between these devices, detecting threats that might bypass endpoint defenses or spread laterally through the network.
Is this product suitable for small businesses?
Yes, this product is designed for SMB and mid-market companies seeking enterprise-grade security without the complexity. It provides essential network visibility and threat detection capabilities to protect business operations.
