ExtraHop

Siloed cybersecurity tools are no match for sophisticated adversaries. In a complex attack landscape, real success requires an interconnected ecosystem.

This reality was put to the test on a global stage at NATO Locked Shields 2026, the world’s largest, most prestigious, and most complex live-fire cyber defense exercise.

We are incredibly proud to share that the ExtraHop NDR platform was chosen play a critical role in this mission, providing the foundational network intelligence required to power the Joint Cyber Defense Stack against massive, coordinated nation-state simulations.

In our latest blog, Sarah Cleveland breaks down what an operation of this unprecedented scale proved about modern cyber defense:

🤝 Orchestrating a Unified Front: Success depends on a layered framework where network detection, asset visibility, and malware analysis work in concert to close operational gaps before adversaries can exploit them.

🎯 The Power of Network Ground Truth: An integrated defense stack only functions if you have immediate, real-time network intelligence to capture threats in motion and seamlessly trigger the rest of your security infrastructure.

⚡ Cutting Through Live-Fire Noise: Unified decryption combined with live-fire PCAP analysis gives defenders the definitive tactical advantage needed to outpace advanced threat actors.

❌ Stop managing alerts. ✅ Start solving incidents.

If your security team is spending more time correlating data than actually stopping threats, it’s time to pivot to an evidence-first approach.

We are teaming up with Zscaler for an exclusive webinar on how to build an actionable, high-fidelity security framework.

If you're looking to elevate your hybrid environment's defenses with robust SSE visibility and airtight Zero Trust enforcement, this one is for you.

We’ll teach you how to:

👤 Accelerate threat investigations with deep, identity-first context

🔍 Validate incidents instantly with packet-level ground truth

🛡️ Supercharge response speed and drastically level up your team's detection confidence

⏳ Reclaim lost hours by reducing manual correlation
