Expose Hidden Threats Before They Strike
Quickly expose unknown threats, anomalous behavior, and hidden lateral movement using intelligent threat hunting tools in WhatsUp Gold NDR.
The Challenges Organizations Face Today
Modern networks are filled with blind spots, stealthy attacks, and overwhelming volumes of uncorrelated data—making it difficult for security teams to quickly determine whether an anomaly is a performance issue or an active threat. Attackers blend into legitimate traffic, move laterally, and evade traditional perimeter defenses, while distributed environments create even more places to hide. Investigations drag on as teams sift through fragmented logs without context.
Blind Spots Across Expanding Networks
Traditional security tools often miss what’s happening inside the network. As environments grow more distributed—hybrid workforces, cloud workloads, IoT—the attack surface widens, creating blind spots where threats can hide.
Stealth-Based Network Intrusions
Modern adversaries use low‑and‑slow techniques, encrypted traffic, and lateral movement to blend into normal network activity. These tactics slip past signature‑based defenses, leaving teams unaware until damage is already done.
Excessive Data with Minimal Attribution
Security teams are flooded with logs and alerts but lack correlated, high‑fidelity insights. Without contextual visibility into network behavior, it’s nearly impossible to distinguish real threats from background noise.
Slow Investigations That Delay Response
Investigating anomalies manually takes time—time attackers use to escalate privileges, move laterally, and compromise critical systems. Teams need faster, clearer threat investigation workflows built on reliable telemetry.
Advanced Threat Hunting Made Practical
WhatsUp Gold NDR delivers advanced threat hunting capabilities to teams of any size by automatically surfacing high‑priority anomalies, correlating behaviors, and guiding analysts directly to the threats that matter most. Instead of shifting through fragmented logs or switching between complex tools, analysts receive Smart Summaries that elevate the most urgent cases, enriched with built‑in Threat Scoring, contextual detail, and recommended remediation actions. This helps junior analysts quickly focus on what requires immediate attention, while senior analysts gain the depth, visibility, and clarity needed to test hypotheses, validate assumptions, and investigate efficiently.
Empower Your Security Team
Smart Summary
The platform’s AI‑Assisted Summaries automatically distill large volumes of behavioral data into clear, context‑rich insights prioritized by severity. Each summary highlights the affected assets, changes in trends, new detections triggered, or sudden changes in threat scores. This helps analysts quickly prioritize and clearly understand what matters and why.
Guided Recommendations
To further streamline response, Guided Recommendations offer step‑by‑step instructions, helping IT and security teams take decisive action even without deep expertise. These recommendations provide practical remediation pathways—such as isolating devices, blocking communication patterns, or adjusting policy configurations—reducing mean time to response and ensuring consistent action across the team.
MITTRE ATT&CK Framework Mapping
WhatsUp Gold NDR aligns findings with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, giving analysts a clear view of the attacker’s likely tactics and techniques. This mapping helps both junior and senior analysts validate hypotheses, assess threat progression, and understand the potential impact with greater clarity.
Threat Briefings
WhatsUp Gold NDR enhances the efficiency and confidence of security teams by transforming complex network telemetry into immediately actionable intelligence. With AI‑powered Threat Briefings, analysts gain timely insights into emerging vulnerabilities, attack campaigns, and Indicators of Compromise — that provide descriptions, mitigation steps, and retrospective analysis capabilities.

WhatsUp Gold NDR Key Benefits for Security Teams
Agentless Visibility Across the Entire Network
Automatically gain insight into devices, services, and applications communicating on the network—without relying on endpoint agents. WhatsUp Gold NDR uncovers unmanaged, forgotten, or misconfigured assets that often become attack entry points.
Behavior‑Based Detection for Unknown Threats
Continuously model normal network behavior and surface meaningful deviations that indicate suspicious activity. This approach reveals stealthy attacks and emerging threats that signature‑based tools commonly miss.
Built‑In Prioritization That Reduces Alert Fatigue
Focus on what matters most with intelligent threat scoring and contextual enrichment. WhatsUp Gold NDR ranks detections by urgency and impact, helping analysts concentrate on high‑risk events instead of chasing noise.
Guided Investigations with Clear Next Steps
Speed up analysis with AI‑assisted summaries, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and guided remediation recommendations. Every alert is enriched with context that explains what happened, why it matters, and how to respond.
Stronger Security Posture with Less Manual Effort
By automating analysis, prioritization, and threat context, WhatsUp Gold NDR enables teams to proactively defend the network—reducing investigation time, improving consistency, and delivering stronger protection without increasing workload.
Faster Response with Integrated Action Workflows
Move from detection to response without delay using streamlined “Respond to Event” workflows. Analysts can investigate, escalate, and coordinate remediation actions directly from a single interface.
FAQs
What is threat hunting and why is it important?
Threat hunting is a proactive security practice focused on identifying hidden, unknown or sophisticated threats that evade traditional detection tools. Instead of waiting for alerts, security teams actively search for suspicious behavior across the network to uncover early signs of compromise before attackers cause disruption or data loss.
How does WhatsUp Gold NDR support threat hunting?
WhatsUp Gold NDR enables threat hunting by continuously analyzing network behavior, correlating anomalies and prioritizing suspicious activity. Features like Smart Summaries, Threat Scoring, MITRE ATT&CK mapping and remedy recommendation guide analysts directly to the most relevant threats and provide the context needed to investigate efficiently.
Do I need advanced security expertise to use threat hunting in WhatsUp Gold NDR?
No. WhatsUp Gold NDR is designed for security teams of all experience levels. AI‑assisted summaries, guided recommendations and clear prioritization help junior analysts quickly identify what matters. As for senior analysts, they gain the depth and visibility required for advanced investigations and hypothesis testing.
How does WhatsUp Gold NDR help prioritize threats?
Each detected anomaly is enriched with contextual information and a Threat Score that reflects severity and potential impact. This ranking allows analysts to focus on the most urgent risks first, reducing alert fatigue and effectively addressing critical threats without delay.
Can I investigate past incidents and analyze historical data?
Yes. WhatsUp Gold NDR includes forensic investigation and retrospective analysis capabilities. Analysts can review historical flow data and captured network traffic to trace attacker activity, reconstruct incidents, validate hypotheses and understand the full scope and root cause of a security event.
How do Threat Briefings improve threat hunting?
Threat Briefings deliver curated intelligence about emerging threats, vulnerabilities and attack campaigns directly within WhatsUp Gold NDR. Each briefing includes descriptions, IoC and mitigation guidance, enabling teams to proactively hunt for relevant threats in their own environment.
How does MITRE ATT&CK mapping help security teams?
MITRE ATT&CK mapping links detected activity to known attacker tactics and techniques. This provides valuable context during investigations, helping analysts understand attacker behavior, assess progression and communicate findings using a widely recognized framework.
Can WhatsUp Gold NDR help accelerate incident response?
Yes. With built‑in investigation workflows and “Respond to Event” actions, WhatsUp Gold NDR streamlines the transition from detection to response. Analysts can investigate, prioritize and take action from a single interface, significantly reducing mean time to response.
