Network Behavior Analysis &
Anomaly Detection (NBAD)

Traditional security focuses on the perimeter, yet 70% of attacks originate from within the network. While firewalls and antivirus catch known threats, Leader Technology uses AI-driven NBAD to secure the “blind spot” between your perimeter and endpoints.

Key Capabilities

  • Internal Visibility: Monitors traffic inside the network to detect lateral movement and departures from normal operation.

  • Baseline Intelligence: Establishes a “normal” behavior benchmark and flags unknown, new, or unusual patterns in real-time.

  • Zero-Day Protection: Identifies sophisticated malware and zero-day exploits that lack traditional signatures.

  • Passive Monitoring: Analyzes communication, bandwidth, and protocol trends without disrupting network performance.

The Value

By proactively seeking out suspicious behavior that traditional tools miss, Leader Technology helps administrators minimize response time and mitigate threats before they escalate into breaches.

Key Deliverables of NBAD

Granular Network Awareness

Gain detailed, real-time visibility into all internal communications. This deep awareness allows administrators to understand exactly what is happening across the entire infrastructure, moving beyond simple “up/down” monitoring to true behavioral insight.

Flow-Based Threat Detection

The system utilizes network traffic statistics—such as NetFlow, IPFIX, and jFlow—exported by routers, switches, and network probes. By analyzing these data standards, the solution can identify malicious behavior and anomalies without the need for intrusive packet inspection.

Comprehensive Security Coverage

NBAD completes the “security circle” by acting as a critical complementary layer. It detects advanced threats that typically bypass firewalls and antivirus programs, including:

  • Targeted Attacks: Persistent threats aimed at specific assets.

  • Botnets: Command-and-control communications.

  • Unknown Malware: New strains without established signatures.

  • Insider Threats: Unauthorized data exfiltration or internal policy violations.

Streamlined Operations

Beyond security, the platform enhances overall network health. By automatically detecting operational issues and anomalies—such as configuration errors or bandwidth bottlenecks—it reduces the manual labor required for troubleshooting and helps maintain peak performance.
