TierOne Network detects lateral movement, ransomware staging, and zero-day threats the moment they appear in your network — not six months later when the damage is done. Built for UK mid-market businesses and MSPs who need enterprise-grade NDR without the enterprise price tag.
Every packet on your network passes through four stages — continuously, at wire speed, around the clock.
TierOne Network connects to your network via mirror ports, TAPs, or cloud flow logs. Unlike tools that sample traffic to manage volume, we process every packet — because attackers hide in the gaps that sampling misses. No agents. No software installs on endpoints.
Within 72 hours of deployment, our models build a behavioural baseline for every device, user, and connection pattern on your network. This is what separates AI-driven NDR from signature-based tools — we detect what deviates from normal, not just what matches a known-bad list. Novel threats are caught from day one.
Our detection models run inference on live traffic streams in real time. When behaviour deviates — unusual internal connections, abnormal data volumes, suspicious authentication patterns — the platform flags it immediately with a severity score, attack stage mapping, and full packet context. No waiting for a daily log review.
T1 Respond automatically isolates affected network segments, revokes suspicious sessions, and triggers your predefined response playbooks — all before a human has to act. Your team receives a full incident brief: what happened, which systems were affected, what was done, and what to do next.
Signature-based tools catch known threats. TierOne Network catches unknown ones — by detecting the behaviours attackers use, not the tools they use to do it.
Attackers who get a foothold on one machine immediately try to move to others. We detect the internal reconnaissance and connection patterns that give this away — even when it looks like normal traffic.
Ransomware operators spend days or weeks inside a network before triggering encryption. We detect the staging behaviours — C2 beaconing, privilege escalation, shadow copy deletion — while there is still time to stop it.
Exfiltration rarely looks like a big file transfer. Attackers use DNS tunnelling, encrypted channels, and slow drip techniques to move data without triggering volume-based alerts. Our models detect the patterns, not just the volumes.
No signature exists for a zero-day attack by definition. Our behavioural models don't need one. If something on your network starts behaving in a way that deviates from its established pattern, we flag it — regardless of whether anyone has seen that attack before.
Insider threats — whether malicious employees or compromised accounts — look like legitimate activity until you examine the patterns closely. We build per-user and per-device baselines that surface when someone is accessing things they shouldn't, at times they shouldn't.
Not every network problem is a security incident. T1 Predict monitors device behaviour, traffic patterns, and performance metrics to identify hardware degradation, misconfiguration, and capacity issues before they cause downtime — often days before a failure occurs.
A London-based financial advisory firm's network began showing unusual SMB connections between workstations late on a Friday evening. T1 Detect identified the lateral movement pattern, cross-referenced it with known ransomware staging behaviour, and automatically isolated the affected segment. Forensic analysis confirmed an active Conti-variant operator had been inside the network for 11 days. No files were encrypted. No ransom was paid.
A private hospital group's network monitoring showed normal metrics on their legacy tools. T1 Predict detected micro-degradation in packet loss patterns on a core distribution switch and assigned it a 91% failure probability within 72 hours. The IT team replaced the switch during a Saturday morning maintenance window. Had the switch failed undetected during a weekday, the hospital's patient management, imaging, and clinical communication systems would have gone offline.
A mid-size law firm's contractor had their credentials compromised through a phishing attack. Over three weeks, the attacker used DNS tunnelling to slowly exfiltrate confidential client documents — averaging 180MB per day, well below the thresholds of their existing DLP tool. T1 Detect flagged the anomalous DNS query volume and destination patterns on day two. Total data exfiltrated before detection: 360MB. Total exfiltrated before containment: 360MB.
A 12-person MSP managing infrastructure for 40 UK SME clients was using a combination of traditional SIEM alerts and manual log review. Alert fatigue meant real threats were getting buried in noise. After deploying TierOne Network across their client estate, the platform reduced alert volume by 84% through AI-driven prioritisation while increasing detection accuracy. Their team now handles genuine incidents — not false positives.
Behavioural AI models analyse every packet in real time. Detects lateral movement, C2 beaconing, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration — including zero-day threats with no known signature.
Machine learning models trained on network performance signatures identify device degradation, bandwidth saturation, and configuration drift — days before failure impacts operations.
Continuous AI-driven adjustment of routing, QoS policies, and load balancing. Identifies recurring performance patterns and resolves them before users notice — without manual intervention.
When threats are confirmed, T1 Respond acts immediately — isolating segments, revoking sessions, triggering playbooks, and generating a full incident brief for your team before they've even been alerted.

Complex networks across multiple sites, cloud and on-prem mixed, remote workers. Too large to ignore network security. Too lean to run a 24/7 SOC team.
Already responsible for client infrastructure. TierOne Network gives your team the visibility and AI-driven triage to manage security across your entire client base without scaling headcount.
FCA regulations, client money rules, data protection obligations. You need demonstrable, auditable network monitoring — and you need it to actually work when it matters.
Patient data, clinical systems, CQC oversight. A network outage or breach isn't just an IT problem — it's a patient safety problem. We take that seriously.
Highly sensitive client data, strict confidentiality obligations, limited internal IT capability. Your network security needs to be as professional as the advice you give.
NCSC Cyber Essentials requirements, constrained budgets, increasing attack surface. Enterprise-grade NDR without the enterprise price tag or the complexity of managing it.
High-performance AI inference infrastructure built to process enterprise network traffic volumes in real time — without the latency, sampling, or gaps that limit conventional tools.
Passive network TAPs and mirror ports feed raw traffic into our ingestion pipeline. Zero performance impact on production networks. Full packet depth — not just metadata or flow records.
GPU-accelerated deep learning inference processes millions of packets per second. Behavioural models run continuously against live traffic streams with sub-100ms detection latency.
MITRE ATT&CK framework mapping, custom threat model training on your network's baseline, and continuous model updates as attacker techniques evolve. Models improve the longer they run.
Automated containment via network ACL updates, VLAN isolation, and session termination. Native integrations with major SIEM, SOAR, and ticketing platforms for seamless workflow.
Signature-based detection requires knowing what an attack looks like before it happens. Behavioural AI doesn't. Our models learn what normal network activity looks like for your specific environment — every device, every user, every connection pattern — and flag deviations. A zero-day attack that no one has ever seen before still deviates from normal behaviour. That's how we catch it.
This is the same fundamental approach used by Darktrace and Vectra AI — the leaders in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for NDR. The difference is we've made it accessible to the businesses they price out.
TierOne Network was founded in London after watching too many mid-market businesses get breached by attacks that the right technology would have caught — technology that existed, but cost more than those businesses could justify spending.
The 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response named Vectra AI, Darktrace, ExtraHop, and Corelight as leaders. All of them are excellent. None of them are built for a 200-person professional services firm or an MSP managing 30 client networks on a realistic budget.
We built TierOne Network to fix that gap. Same fundamental approach — behavioural AI, full traffic visibility, automated response — at a price point that makes sense for the businesses that need it most.
15+ years in network infrastructure and cloud communications. Founded TierOne Network to bring enterprise-grade AI network detection and response to businesses that have been priced out of the market by the incumbents.
