EP272 More Than Just Packets: Is NDR a "First-Class" Cloud Security Control?

Guest: Raja Mukerji, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist, Extrahop Rafal Los, VP of Client Relations and Strategic Initiatives, Extrahop Topics: Is Network Detection and Response (NDR) coming back after being shoved to the side by EDR a bit? Is this for real? What's the value proposition of NDR in 2026, because some people still don't understand it? How does NDR apply to the world of WFH, cloud/SaaS, encryption, high bandwidth, etc? Is the value of NDR the same, or different, when it comes to public (or private) cloud? How does NDR fill visibility gaps that identity and agent-based solutions cannot? What does NDR offer that built-in cloud security tooling (as of right now) does not? Would you call NDR a key cloud security control? Does NDR help with shadow AI? NDR elephant in the room is sometimes cost. How does cost change the value prop when compared to on-premise or physical infrastructure? Resources: Video version EP267 AI SOC or AI in a SOC?
