Ridgeback effectively thwarts attacks and neutralizes intruders before they can carry out their malicious activities. When a potential attacker tries to probe your network for vulnerabilities, Ridgeback intervenes to manipulate their actions, restrict their advantages, and impose penalties for their efforts. By actively engaging and thwarting these threats, Ridgeback can freeze or eject them from your network instantaneously. As a result, attackers are unable to identify critical network resources such as IP addresses and ports. Any weaknesses they might exploit for network discovery are swiftly sealed off, rendering them ineffective. Furthermore, their communications both within and outside the network are interrupted, and their unauthorized movements are promptly immobilized. Uniquely, Ridgeback aligns its operational strategies with the cyber defense principles outlined by the United States Cyberspace Solarium Commission. By doing so, it ensures that the costs associated with attacking a network protected by Ridgeback are prohibitively high, making such efforts impractical and significantly lowering the overall expenses of maintaining defense. Ultimately, Ridgeback transforms cybersecurity into a proactive and strategic defense mechanism rather than a reactive one.
