Network Blindspots? Peris.ai IRP Delivers 360° Monitoring

Every modern enterprise operates in a complex digital environment—hybrid cloud deployments, SaaS sprawl, remote endpoints, mobile access, and third-party integrations. But amid this expansion lies a critical and often ignored truth:

You can’t defend what you can’t see.

While endpoint security and firewalls are well-established, network blindspots remain one of the top enablers of successful breaches. Hidden communications, unmanaged assets, lateral movements, and command-and-control (C2) traffic often go unnoticed, giving attackers the stealth they need to persist, escalate, and exfiltrate.

This article explores:

• What causes network blindspots
• Why they persist even in tool-rich environments
• The impact on detection, response, and compliance
• And how Peris.ai’s Incident Response Platform (IRP), paired with NVM, EDR, Brahma Fusion, INDRA, and BimaRed, delivers 360° visibility and response coordination—without drowning your team in alerts or dashboards.

What Are Network Blindspots?

A network blindspot is any portion of the infrastructure where:

• No traffic is being logged
• No behavior is being analyzed
• No alerts are generated—even if malicious activity occurs

These blindspots are dangerous because:

• They allow lateral movement to go undetected
• Attackers can bypass perimeter defenses and hide
• Incident responders lack visibility into the scope and impact of a compromise

Common Causes of Network Blindspots

Legacy Infrastructure

Older switches, routers, and OT/ICS systems often don’t support modern telemetry, logging, or integrations with SIEM/XDR platforms.

Cloud Silos

Many organizations run AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud workloads—each with its own telemetry and security stack, leading to:

• Fragmented visibility
• Inconsistent monitoring policies
• Missed east-west cloud traffic

Remote and BYOD Devices

Endpoints connecting via VPNs or split tunneling may bypass internal monitoring tools altogether. If EDR is not deployed (or disabled), you lose the visibility chain.

Encrypted Traffic (TLS/SSL)

Today, over 90% of internet traffic is encrypted. Without decryption strategies or behavioral monitoring, threats hidden in SSL can pass undetected.

Shadow IT and Rogue Devices

Unmanaged devices, unauthorized SaaS tools, and rogue access points introduce blindspots that:

• Don’t generate logs
• Aren’t tracked by asset inventories
• Aren’t subject to policies or detection rules

Consequences of Blindspots

Missed Detections

Without full visibility, anomalies like:

• Credential reuse
• Data exfiltration
• Internal scans
• Suspicious DNS tunneling

…can go unnoticed until a breach is confirmed—often by a third party.

Delayed Incident Response

Without knowing where an attacker has moved:

• Containment is incomplete
• Root cause analysis is flawed
• Post-breach recovery takes weeks instead of hours

Broken Compliance and Auditing

Frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS require:

• Logging of access and traffic
• Timely detection of anomalies
• Demonstrable coverage of sensitive assets

You cannot prove control over what you cannot see.

Why Traditional Security Tools Fall Short

Tool Sprawl

Security teams often juggle:

• SIEMs
• Firewalls
• EDR platforms
• NetFlow/PCAP tools
• Cloud security tools

But these tools:

• Operate in silos
• Don’t share data contextually
• Require manual correlation
• Generate overwhelming false positives

Alert Fatigue and Skill Shortages

SOC analysts are overwhelmed. Without automated correlation and contextual intelligence, teams:

• Miss real threats
• Waste time investigating dead ends
• Burn out and churn

This is where a unified, intelligent platform becomes essential—not more dashboards, but one brain connecting them all.

Enter Peris.ai IRP: Unified, Intelligent Incident Response

The Peris.ai Incident Response Platform (IRP) isn’t just another SIEM or SOAR tool—it’s a centralized operating system for modern cybersecurity operations, designed to:

• Eliminate network and endpoint blindspots
• Coordinate data from multiple sources (NVM, EDR, threat intel)
• Trigger real-time triage, investigation, containment, and remediation
• Reduce MTTD and MTTR
• Empower SOC teams with intelligent automation—not more noise

Key Features:

• End-to-end visibility across endpoints and networks
• Case management and ticketing workflows built-in
• Integrated AI-powered triage with Brahma Fusion
• Threat Intelligence integration via INDRA
• Attack Surface mapping via BimaRed
• Customizable playbooks for response orchestration
• One-click containment across cloud, endpoint, and network

How Peris.ai IRP Works to Eliminate Blindspots

Data Ingestion & Normalization

IRP ingests logs and telemetry from:

• NVM (Network Visibility & Monitoring)
• EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response)
• SIEM
• Firewall/IDS/IPS
• Cloud environments (via APIs)

All data is normalized into a common schema for easy correlation.

AI-Powered Triage via Brahma Fusion

Brahma Fusion uses Agentic AI to:

• Analyze data in real-time
• Identify suspicious patterns (e.g., beaconing, lateral movement, anomalous ports)
• Trigger investigation playbooks
• Automatically escalate cases based on threat context

Analysts are no longer bottlenecks—AI performs Level 1 and Level 2 triage, reducing alert noise by up to 44%.

Threat Intelligence Integration via INDRA

Every alert and anomaly is enriched with:

• MITRE ATT&CK TTP mapping
• Known threat actor behavior
• CVE exploitability data
• Campaign context
• EPSS and trending threats

This helps security teams focus on what attackers are doing now, not just hypothetical risks.

Asset and Exposure Correlation via BimaRed

Blindspots often exist because organizations don’t know what’s exposed.

BimaRed maps:

• All external-facing assets
• Open ports, services, and vulnerabilities
• Unsecured APIs or admin panels

IRP correlates alerts with these findings to highlight real attack vectors.

Case Management, Containment, and Reporting

Once a threat is confirmed:

• IRP opens a case
• Assigns response owners
• Logs all actions and notes
• Executes remediation playbooks (via Brahma Fusion)
• Sends alerts to stakeholders
• Prepares compliance-ready reports

Everything is documented—audit trails, response timelines, and evidence are built-in.

7. Real-World Example: Ransomware in a Mid-Sized Financial Company

Situation: Unusual SMB traffic was detected from a workstation.

Without IRP:

• SIEM flagged anomaly, but lacked context
• No immediate correlation with other traffic
• Endpoint logs not available due to VPN routing
• 4 days later, ransomware was deployed

With IRP:

• NVM detects abnormal lateral SMB traffic
• Brahma Fusion auto-tags the event as potential lateral movement
• INDRA confirms this behavior aligns with active TA505 ransomware group
• Case is opened, endpoint isolated, and remediation triggered
• Incident closed within 1.5 hours

⏱ Result: 90% reduction in detection-to-containment time

10. Steps to Start Closing Your Network Blindspots Today

1. Conduct a Blindspot Audit

• What assets lack monitoring?
• Are there network zones with no packet inspection?
• Are cloud environments being logged comprehensively?

2. Integrate Network and Endpoint Telemetry

• Break silos between EDR, NDR, and SIEM
• Normalize and centralize log data

3. Enrich Alerts with Threat Context

• Incorporate external threat intel
• Map detections to MITRE ATT&CK

4. Automate Triage and Case Management

• Use playbooks for common threats (e.g. brute force, DNS tunneling)
• Assign ownership dynamically

5. Document and Report

• Build defensible logs of every detection, decision, and action
• Maintain audit-readiness

Conclusion: Don’t Just Monitor—Understand, Correlate, Act

Security operations are no longer about chasing every log line—they’re about connecting signals to meaning, and acting fast.

Network blindspots are not a tool problem—they’re a strategy problem. Too many organizations have invested in siloed tools without building the connective tissue to see threats in real time.

Peris.ai IRP solves this not by adding another dashboard, but by becoming the central command layer across your environment.

You get:

• Real-time visibility
• Integrated response
• Context-rich decision-making
• Full lifecycle management

All with intelligent automation designed to amplify your human team—not replace it.
