Thrive, which makes modern workforce solutions, and also does outsourcing for cybersecurity, cloud, and traditional managed services, has announced a new Network Detection and Response (NDR) service to further support businesses’ cybersecurity efforts. The new NDR service will monitor a business’ network to detect potential security incidents, enabling a quicker response and stopping breaches in their tracks.
Thrive, which boasts a Net Promoter Score [NPS] of 74, is trusted by over 500 companies globally. Leading companies use Thrive and its cloud-based, AI-enabled platform of career products and services to navigate workforce transitions, from facilitating layoffs and redeployments, to providing skills training and access to coaching. This streamlines processes, reduces costs, and facilitates workforce optimization.
“When a cyberattack happens, time is of the essence – but relying on signature-based methods can cause a lag that can ultimately be detrimental to solving the problem quickly,” said Michael Gray, Thrive’s Chief Technology Officer. “Thrive is taking a layered approach to ensuring our customers are protecting themselves from cyberattacks. We want to empower our customers to be able to react in real time and stop a bad actor in their tracks, minimizing disruption to their business operations and ultimately protecting their bottom line.”

The average cost of a data breach in the United States is $10.22 million, a 9% increase from the year prior, according to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report. This drastic increase highlights the need for prevention and swift action in cybersecurity; however, current tools and services often don’t detect threats until they have already happened. By the time they notice a breach has occurred, the damage is already done.
Thrive’s new NDR service enables real-time responses, helping their clients shut down an attack as soon as it is detected. The service does this by using AI pattern recognition capabilities to monitor all traffic inside a company’s network and flag if there’s suspicious activity that could point to a data breach. This new service works in conjunction with Thrive’s existing Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service that correlates and analyzes logs to identify potential cybersecurity threats, and its Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) service, which detects and prevents malicious actions on servers and user workstations.
