# n.Scope Deployment Planning

Deploying the Nanocorp n.Scope Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution involves several critical planning steps to ensure a smooth integration into your network infrastructure and operational workflows. This section outlines the essential stages for deployment, providing a high-level roadmap from initial assessment to the final launch.

## 1. Pre-Deployment Planning

### 1.1 Understand Network Architecture

* **Assess Current Infrastructure**: Review and document the existing network topology, including all subnets, remote locations, and cloud services. Identify how many probes will be required to cover the infrastructure.
* **Identify Critical Assets**: List critical servers, endpoints, end-user networks, and services the solution must observe. Critical assets can be highlighted in the rules definition 

### 1.2 Define Security Objectives

* **Determine Detection Goals**: Define what threats, anomalies, or incidents the NDR must detect.
* **Establish Response Protocols**: Outline how the system should respond to detected threats and the procedure for incident response.
  * **Forward alerts:** identify the SIEM or CIR tool the alerts should be sent t
  * **Automated Packet Capture for Forensic:** define in what case (severity) should a Packet Capture automatically be recorded with an alert 

## 2. Technical Pre-Requisites

### 2.1 Hardware/Software Requirements

* **Hardware Specifications**: Identify the necessary hardware requirements based on network size and traffic volume.
* **Compatible Platforms**: Ensure that the NDR system is compatible with your current network devices and operating systems.

### 2.2 Integrations

* **Existing Security Stack**: n.Scope NDR integrates seamlessy with most SIEMs, CTI provider and other security tools. [Check out our integration list for more details.](/n.scope-v2.0-english/ressources/integrations.md)
* **Single Sign On:** n.Scope NDR is compatible with Azure AD SSO. [Check the deployment instructions and prerequisites](/n.scope-v2.0-english/ressources/integrations/single-sign-on.md).

#### 2.3 Security Infrastructure Integration

* **Traffic Flow Analysis**: Determine where to place the NDR sensors to capture relevant traffic.
* **Network Configuration Changes**: Plan for any changes needed to network configuration to support the NDR.
