Why traditional security falls short & how Gatewatcher NDR Platform rethinks tomorrow’s challenges

Firewalls, IDS/IPS, EDR, and SIEM remain essential pillars of cybersecurity. But they were designed for a simpler era, when threats were less sophisticated, infrastructures were centralized, and adversaries moved slower. Today, attackers exploit hybrid networks, shadow IT, IoT devices, and zero-day vulnerabilities in ways that traditional solutions cannot fully detect or stop.

The result: blind spots, delayed responses, and escalating risks. These tools explain what happened yesterday, but often miss what is happening now. To keep up, security teams need more than detection- they need the ability to analyze, respond, and anticipate.

That’s exactly what the Gatewatcher NDR platform delivers. With a framework built around four action pillars – Detect, Analyze, Respond, Anticipate—it transforms visibility into resilience, helping organizations stay one step ahead of adversaries.

Why traditional defenses leave gaps

01

Signature-based detection misses unknown and zero-day attacks
02

SIEM depends on logs, which are often incomplete or unavailable
03

EDR protects endpoints but leaves IoT, OT and east-west traffic uncovered
04

Firewalls stop north-south flows but not lateral movement once attackers are inside
05

Not every system can host an EDR agent (IoT, OT, medical devices)
06

Network-wide blind spots allow attackers to move undetected

How NDR complements existing tools

01

Detect

Spot weak signals and anomalies across IT, OT, IoT, and cloud
02

Analyze

Enrich alerts with CTI, AI correlation, and protocol insights
03

Respond

Trigger automated or guided actions via Reflex playbooks
04

Anticipate

Map exposures and predict attacker moves before impact
