London, England - March 11, 2025 - Stamus Networks, a global provider of high-performance network-based threat detection and response (NDR) systems, today announced it has joined forces with PwC UK Managed Cyber Defence (MCD) as a vendor of network threat detection technology into MCD cyber operations. Headquartered in London, PwC UK’s Managed Cyber Defence unifies threat detection and response across networks, cloud, and endpoints. Managed Detection and Response counters advanced cyber threats with next-gen detection, while Managed Cloud Security provides full cloud visibility and expert threat intelligence. Both services offer 24/7 monitoring and issue resolution for clients of all sizes.
Historically, PwC UK has relied on in-house-developed network security monitoring sensors powered by Suricata, the industry-leading open-source intrusion detection engine. Recognizing the need to advance its capabilities while retaining compatibility with their existing Suricata threat intelligence and detection logic, PwC joined forces with Stamus Networks to implement Clear NDR. The open and transparent NDR system empowers enterprise cyber defenders to uncover threats and unauthorized network activity before harm is done to organizations. By deploying Clear NDR, PwC will bring powerful network-based threat detection and response to its clients in the UK, New Zealand, the US, and across EMEA.
“We are delighted to be the first MSSP to bring Clear NDR to the UK market. Integrating Clear NDR into our managed services enables us to offer our clients even greater levels of network visibility and more proactive threat detection,” said Ross Foley, Managed Cyber Defence lead at PwC UK. “This collaboration will enable our clients to identify and respond to threats with greater speed and procession, leveraging the power of the Clear NDR platform together with PwC’s bespoke threat intelligence and detection content.”
Ken Gramley, CEO of Stamus Networks, added, “We are thrilled to be working with PwC UK to deliver the advanced threat detection and response capabilities of Clear NDR to their clients. PwC’s expertise in cybersecurity and their commitment to innovation make them an ideal partner to help organizations protect their critical infrastructure. Together, we can uncover hidden threats and provide unparalleled network visibility for their clients.”
Why Network Detection and Response Matters
Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions focus on monitoring and analyzing network traffic to detect and respond to malicious activities in real time. Unlike Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems that monitor individual devices, NDR systems like Clear NDR provide a comprehensive view of an organization’s entire network, uncovering threats that evade traditional security tools.
With capabilities such as machine learning, behavioral analytics, and signature-based detection, Clear NDR identifies a wide range of threats, including malware, lateral movement, unauthorized access, and anomalies in network traffic.
Enhanced Visibility for Early Detection and Response
Network visibility is crucial to an effective threat detection and response service offering. By monitoring network traffic, PwC can:
PwC has integrated Clear NDR into its advanced security operations, combining the power of NDR with other systems in its security technology stack. This strategic move ensures PwC’s clients benefit from superior network visibility, advanced threat detection, and a proactive approach to mitigating risks.
“We are already empowering our clients to address challenges they’ve struggled with before, such as uncovering lateral movement, identifying anomalies, and meeting compliance requirements. This collaboration enhances our ability to deliver world-class cybersecurity solutions tailored to the needs of today’s dynamic threat landscape,” added Foley.
