“U42 marks a milestone for network-based threat detection and response,” said Eric Leblond, Co-founder and CTO of Stamus Networks. “Rather than simply adding new tools, we’re reshaping how AI and network intelligence work together. With native AI connectivity via Model Context Protocol and high-fidelity threat insights flowing into SIEM platforms, Clear NDR acts as the intelligence backbone that maximizes the value of AI security investments. Combined with performance upgrades, it empowers teams to identify complex threats faster and operate with far less noise.”

Key Innovations in Clear NDR Enterprise U42

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration:
Enables direct connectivity with leading AI applications such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, and Copilot. This allows AI-powered threat hunting, analysis, and investigation assistance through secure MCP endpoints.

Host Alert Outlier Detection:
Employs advanced behavioral analytics to uncover abnormal host activity patterns — identifying subtle or rare threats that evade conventional detection methods. This feature demonstrated its value during NATO’s live-fire cybersecurity exercises, Crossed Swords and Locked Shields.

Optimized SIEM Event Delivery:
Transmits Declaration of Compromise (DoC) and Declaration of Policy Violation (DoPV) logs to SIEM and XDR systems with complete context. This approach extends Clear NDR’s alert fatigue reduction benefits across the organization’s entire detection and response ecosystem.

SMB Insights:
Aggregates SMB protocol data into unified events for faster analysis and machine learning-based security of file-sharing activities — all while reducing log volumes and storage requirements.

Seamless IOC Ingestion:
Automates the import of threat intelligence indicators, removing the need for manual rule setup and cutting deployment time dramatically — from several hours to just minutes.

Multi-Stage Response Workflows and Authentication:
Enables complex automation and orchestration through chained API calls supporting multiple authentication models, streamlining incident response operations.

High-Performance Postprocessing Engine:
Introduces a next-generation processing engine capable of handling over 200 Gbps of network traffic while consuming fewer CPU resources — significantly improving throughput and scalability.

Empowering AI-Powered Security Operations

As enterprises increase their investments in AI-driven cybersecurity platforms, Clear NDR U42 ensures these systems operate with enriched, actionable network intelligence. Its native Model Context Protocol integration allows generative and agentic AI systems to directly leverage Clear NDR’s deep network insights, enabling natural language-based investigation and adaptive automation.

By uniting high-speed analytics, contextualized threat intelligence, and next-level AI interoperability, Clear NDR Enterprise U42 stands as a cornerstone for modern, AI-powered security operations centers.
