In the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, it's not always what you see that hurts you - it’s what you don’t. As enterprises accelerate hybrid cloud adoption, deploy containerised applications, and connect a multitude of IoT and OT devices, network blind spots are becoming the Achilles’ heel of traditional security architectures.
At Matrium Technologies, we believe that effective Network Detection and Response (NDR) starts with complete and uncompromised visibility - across every packet, every workload, every environment.
Modern enterprises have embraced agility, elasticity, and distributed architectures. But this innovation has come with a hidden tax: fragmented visibility. Traditional security tools relying on logs, events, and endpoints (MELT data) can’t keep up with:
East-West (lateral) traffic between workloads
Encrypted communications (TLS 1.3 and beyond)
Traffic inside virtualised and containerised environments
Interactions with unmanaged IoT/OT devices
These visibility gaps allow advanced threats to move laterally, exfiltrate data, or evade detection altogether - creating a “ripple effect” of risk.
According to Gigamon, by 2029, over 50% of threats detected by NDR tools will originate in cloud network activity, that's up from less than 10% today. Yet many organisations still struggle to detect:
Ransomware hiding in encrypted payloads
Misconfigurations that expose internal subnets
Zero-day exploits that spread across virtual machines
Without full network visibility, even the most advanced NDR platforms - like Vectra - can only detect what they’re able to observe.
To address this challenge, Matrium partners with Gigamon, a leader in Deep Observability. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline acts as a force multiplier for NDR tools like Vectra, enabling:
Plaintext visibility into encrypted traffic via Precryption™
Granular traffic filtering to eliminate noise and reduce tool fatigue
Unified observability across hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-prem infrastructure
Reduced cost and complexity by sending only relevant traffic to security tools
This approach enhances detection, speeds up response times, and eliminates the blind spots that adversaries exploit.
When you combine Gigamon’s visibility with Vectra’s AI-driven detection, you unlock a cybersecurity strategy that is proactive, intelligent, and scalable. This synergy ensures:
High-fidelity threat detection with fewer false positives
Early detection of lateral movement and insider threats
Coverage for cloud-native workloads and encrypted channels
At Matrium, we’ve seen firsthand how this combo transforms NDR from a reactive tool to a strategic detection and response platform.
If your organisation is facing cloud visibility challenges, or struggling to detect threats hidden in encrypted or containerised traffic, now is the time to act.
Ask yourself:
Can your NDR tool access encrypted traffic reliably?
Are you monitoring lateral traffic inside cloud workloads?
How are you handling blind spots created by IoT or unmanaged assets?
Matrium can help you answer these questions with confidence - and architect a solution that eliminates blind spots and fortifies your defenses.
