Vectra AI is the Only Vendor Named a Leader and Outperformer in Both GigaOm Radar Reports for Identity and Network Detection and Response

Dual recognition highlights the cybersecurity AI leader's dominance in AI-driven defense across the modern hybrid attack surface

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vectra AI, Inc., the cybersecurity AI company that protects modern networks from modern attacks, today announced that it has been named both a Leader and Outperformer in two key 2025 GigaOm Radar Reports: the Radar for Network Detection and Response (NDR) and the Radar for Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR). Vectra AI is the only vendor to earn top recognition across both reports, underscoring its industry leadership in defending modern enterprises from advanced hybrid attacks.

"As attackers exploit both identity and network vectors to breach organizations, enterprises need full-spectrum, AI-driven defense," said Hitesh Sheth, CEO and founder at Vectra AI. "This recognition from GigaOm underscores our vision to arm defenders with AI-driven coverage, clarity, and control across the hybrid network attack surface. Being named a leader in both NDR and ITDR categories validates that only Vectra AI delivers the visibility and automation required to stop modern attacks in their tracks."

This dual leadership validates Vectra AI's strategy to unify detection, investigation, and response across the hybrid network attack surfaces using AI. It affirms the growing market need for cohesive solutions that address the speed and complexity of today's identity-centric, lateral-movement attacks in hybrid environments.

The GigaOm reports highlighted Vectra AI's strengths across both domains:

In NDR: AI-Driven Visibility and Defense for the Expanding Network

• Full network visibility across cloud, on-prem, IoT/OT, and remote environments
  
  
• Real-time threat detection using AI/ML to identify critical threats, including C2 activity and data exfiltration
  
  
• Operational efficiency through seamless integrations that reduce manual effort and enhance scalability

"Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions provide continuous monitoring and analysis of network traffic to identify and respond to cybersecurity threats in real time," said Ivan McPhee, GigaOm NDR analyst. "Vectra AI takes a focused approach to NDR, innovating rapidly with monthly releases that introduce emerging features like advanced C2 detection, CloudTap integration, and SASE/SSE integrations while strengthening AI-driven detection capabilities. Vectra AI was classified as an Outperformer due to their aggressive monthly feature release cadence (twice monthly for cloud components), continuous AI innovation with over a decade of experience in AI-driven threat detection, and forward-looking roadmap."

In ITDR: Comprehensive Identity Protection Across the Hybrid Attack Surface

• Full-spectrum coverage of human and non-human identities across hybrid cloud, network, SaaS, and GenAI environments
  
  
• Signal clarity that prioritizes attacks based on severity and privilege context using urgency scores
  
  
• Automated containment that isolates compromised identities and hosts—natively or via integrations with EDR, SIEM, SOAR, and ITSM

"Modern identity-based attacks go beyond poorly worded emails and phishing attempts; they now leverage AI for reconnaissance and automation for large-scale strikes," said Paul Stringfellow, GigaOm ITDR Analyst. "Vectra AI provides a hybrid attack detection, investigation, and response solution. It brings together threat information from networks, identities, the public cloud, SaaS, and GenAI and uses its patented Attack Signal Intelligence to help organizations detect, prioritize, investigate, and halt identity cyberattacks. Vectra AI was classified as an Outperformer thanks to its strong focus on developing AI-based automations and intelligence to help customers optimize their security operations."

With recognition across both identity and network domains, Vectra AI continues to lead the industry in delivering the AI-driven clarity, coverage, and control security teams need to stay ahead of modern threats.
