Overview

FortiNDR Cloud is a scalable network security monitoring platform designed for rapid detection and investigation of security threats within your network environment. Network and Cloud sensor systems collect and process data about your network and cloud activity and forward the data to cloud-based systems for indexing and storage. A web-based application portal and application programming interface (API) are provided for analysis of security events.

The FortiNDR Cloud platform is designed as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and is fully managed by Fortinet Inc. including all network sensor systems, cloud-based systems, and the web-based portal.

FortiNDR Cloud Sensors are deployed on specific locations in your physical, virtual or cloud network where security events are most likely to occur. Data collected from multiple locations provides a complete and accurate picture of potential security threats.

This guide will take you through the steps to successfully deploy a FortiNDR Cloud sensor in a Microsoft Hyper-V environment in addition to different setup for monitoring intra-VM and external span packet flow.
