The Hidden Gaps in Internal Network Defense
When attacks originate from within your network, the lack of visibility and real-time detection becomes your organization's greatest blind spot.
-
Long Dwell Time of Targeted Ransomware
Malware often infiltrates through overlooked devices like printers and virtual machines, quietly lurking and gradually infecting all connected equipment.
-
Invisible Lateral Movement
Conventional security appliances are deployed at the network perimeter. Once that boundary is breached, internal networks lack effective mechanisms to detect and prevent lateral spread.
-
High Cost of Security Expertise
Traditional NDR solutions are expensive and complex to deploy. SMBs struggle to afford dedicated IT security teams for 24/7 monitoring and investigation.
-
Traditional Security Tools May Slow Down Your Network
Full traffic scanning easily degrades network speed—unsuitable for connections requiring high throughput to NAS or core servers.

FAQ
NDR (Network Detection and Response) is a security approach that analyzes network traffic to proactively detect and respond to threats within internal networks. As most attacks no longer occur only at the network perimeter, malware that penetrates the internal network can easily go unnoticed without visibility into lateral movement. NDR fills the gaps left by firewalls and endpoint protection, enabling organizations to detect, analyze, and isolate threats before they spread.
EDR protects individual endpoints by detecting suspicious activity on devices. NDR monitors network behavior across systems to reveal abnormal connections and lateral movement. Many modern attacks don’t leave clear endpoint traces, making network-level visibility essential.
ADRA NDR X separates the "switch" and "packet analysis" functions, allowing users who already own a QNAP NAS to deploy without purchasing dedicated hardware (QGD series Edge Smart Switch). ADRA NDR X supports a decoupled architecture, enabling a single analysis device to manage multiple external QSW switches—offering more deployment flexibility and competitive total cost of ownership.

No. Modern NDR solutions are designed to provide visibility without disrupting operations. They focus on behavioral analysis of suspicious traffic rather than inspecting all network flows, so no network redesign is required and performance impact is minimal.
Please verify your NAS firmware version is 5.2.0 or higher, and that you're currently logged in with an Administrator account.
Monitored Ports are the physical ports whose traffic you want to inspect (e.g., ports connected to servers or PCs). The Mirrored Port is responsible for copying traffic from these monitored ports and sending it to ADRA NDR X for threat analysis.
After completing registration, you must use a physical network cable to connect the switch's Mirrored Port to the corresponding port on your NAS. Once the physical connection is established, the device will automatically move to the "Under Analysis" section.
This error indicates the switch hasn't enabled NDR functionality. Log into the switch's QSS management page and manually enable "ADRA NDR feature" in the "ADRA NDR Connection Details" section.
This indicates your selected mirrored port and system default gateway are on the same network interface. Connect the network cable to another port not being used as the gateway, or go to Network & Virtual Switch to change the default gateway configuration based on your hardware setup.
From visibility to intelligence. Move beyond detection to proactive defense.
