Janssen and his team were set out to answer the basic question: “How come that on average, it is taking companies nearly three months (80 days) to discover a malicious breach and then more than four months (123 days) to resolve it”? Their mission was to “cover the blind spots”, discover the threats that bypass other layers of security- give organizations the visibility that they need to hunt for attacks happening inside their networks
Traditional network security tools mainly only monitor inbound Internet traffic (Sandbox, Firewalls, Antivirus, etc.). BitDefender Network Traffic Security Analytics, previously known as RedSocks Malicious Threat Detector (MTD), focuses on the outbound communication characteristics of malware that has installed itself on your devices and networks. This method provides accurate visibility into advanced or targeted attacks and malware that has slipped through your security defense. It provides instant notification whenever a device becomes infected. Next to that, BitDefender Network Traffic Security Analytics will instantly detect malware that has been present for days, weeks or even months.
