NDR: the shield against AI-created vulnerabilities

Published on June 26, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Cybersecurity expert Richard Bejtlich advocates for the use of Network Detection and Response (NDR) systems as a defense against vulnerabilities discovered by artificial intelligence. For citizens, this means that companies and governments must invest in these tools to prevent leaks of personal or financial data. The conclusion is clear: in the face of increasing digital threats, NDR technology is key to keeping everyone's information safe.

How network detection works against malicious code 🛡️

NDR systems analyze network traffic in real time, identifying anomalous patterns that evade traditional antivirus software. Bejtlich points out that generative AI allows attackers to create more sophisticated exploits, but continuous monitoring of packets and metadata enables the detection of suspicious behavior before damage materializes. This technology does not block everything, but it reduces the exposure window to hours instead of weeks.

When the cyberattack laughs at your 90s antivirus 😂

It turns out that while many still trust the antivirus that came with their computer, hackers are already using AI to create malicious code that camouflages itself like a cat on YouTube. The NDR solution is like having a doorman who not only checks the ID but also sniffs if the visitor is wearing a pizza costume. Because yes, now even viruses have better gear than your router.
