Frequently Asked Questions
What is a network sensor in the context of XDR?
A network sensor is a component that monitors network traffic for suspicious activity. In an XDR solution, it provides crucial visibility into threats that may not be visible at the endpoint level.
How does this sensor differ from endpoint security?
Endpoint security focuses on individual devices, while a network sensor analyzes traffic flowing between devices and across the network. Both are vital for comprehensive protection.
Is this a hardware or software solution?
This is a software-based sensor that can be deployed in various ways to monitor network traffic, often integrated with existing network infrastructure.
