Lumu Defender delivers Continuous Compromise Assessment to identify network threats and protect identities, devices, and workloads
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Lumu--Lumu, the creators of the Continuous Compromise Assessment® security model, today announced that Frost & Sullivan named the company an innovative leader in the Frost Radar for Network Detection & Response (NDR), 2026.


Published by global research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, the Frost Radar is an industry benchmark that evaluates top vendors across the two primary axes of Growth and Innovation. Lumu’s inclusion in this year’s report underscores the company’s mission to help organizations of all sizes strengthen cybersecurity operations by continuously identifying confirmed compromises and enabling teams to act with clarity and speed. Through its Continuous Compromise Assessment model, Lumu transforms network and security telemetry into conclusive compromise intelligence, helping security teams accelerate investigations, prioritize threats, and respond more effectively, without adding unnecessary operational complexity.
“We’re honored to be included in the Frost Radar for Network Detection and Response this year,” said Ricardo Villadiego, founder and CEO of Lumu. “Every organization faces sophisticated cyber threats, but too many lack the capabilities, expertise, and resources to manage them effectively. For too long, advanced detection and response solutions have catered to the largest enterprises, leaving other organizations underserved. We built Lumu to make effective security operations accessible to organizations of all sizes around the world, and we’re proud to be recognized for that accomplishment. Our cloud-native approach delivers network-level visibility and automated response capabilities that help teams identify and contain threats faster, without the complexity, cost, or operational burden of traditional security tools.”
Frost & Sullivan selected Lumu as an innovative leader, specifically recognizing its:
- AI-driven autonomous security operations
- Agentic SOC platform
- Full-spectrum hybrid network visibility
- Reduction of SIEM cost pressures and alert fatigue
- Continuous Compromise Assessment and retrospective threat hunting
“As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, they need solutions that deliver more than visibility. Lumu stands out for its ability to turn network intelligence into actionable security outcomes through AI-driven automation and continuous compromise assessment. Its approach addresses critical challenges in security operations, including alert fatigue, deployment complexity, and limited resources, making advanced detection and response more accessible to organizations of all sizes,” said Keith Beizer, Senior Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
Lumu Defender, the company’s flagship NDR solution, acts as the core of an organization’s security operation. It delivers Continuous Compromise Assessment to identify network threats and applies its powerful capabilities beyond the network to cover identities, devices, and workloads. Lumu Defender captures and analyzes a wide range of network metadata. This metadata is then fed into Lumu’s Illumination Process, which combines known Indicators of Compromise (loCs) correlation, anomaly detection using AI models, and deep correlation analysis to identify potential threats with high accuracy. The solution leverages collective defense by continuously learning from the network data of all its customers, enabling it to adapt to evolving threats rapidly. Providing complete network visibility, Lumu Defender integrates seamlessly with existing cybersecurity defenses to automate threat response. Once a threat is detected, the solution provides rich context and visibility into the incident, including affected assets, attack techniques (mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework), and potential impact. It then enables automated response actions through Lumu AutoPilot and out-of-the-box integrations with over 125+ existing security tools.
The Frost Radar for NDR evaluated 35 total NDR solutions and included 18 in its final report. Inclusion criteria consisted of deep hybrid network visibility; AI-enabled product features, such as behavioral detection, encrypted-traffic analysis, open integration, and telemetry correlation; investigation and response enablement; and more.
