The Business Case
Flip the script. Impose your will on the adversary.
Ridgeback sees the live and dark space, turning every unused port and IP into a sensor.
Ridgeback sensors actively engage and disrupt exploitation operations after an attacker has gained an initial foothold in your network.
We stop lateral movement like no other.
Power of The Invisible
Going beyond live space monitoring provides unprecedented network visibility into previously unseen traffic in your network.
Unobserved traffic to dark IPs.

Why lateral movement must be stopped
70% of exploits involve lateral movement. On average, the hackers’ dwell time is 277 days.*
The adversary uses errant signals to learn the topology, enumerate assets, steal and escalate credentials and laterally extend their command-and-control. After an attack, orchestrated through methods like spear-phishing, the hacker will quietly conduct reconnaissance to understand key network characteristics such as hostnames, operating systems and network topology. These are the prerequisites to expanding their control over your systems.
If lateral movement is not stopped, an attack such as ransomware is likely to succeed.
Offense As Defense in Cybersecurity
Ridgeback creates deterrence at each reconnaissance stage as the attacker attempts to move forward with malicious intent.
