Does MDBR replace Albert Network Monitoring and Management?

No, the two services are not co-dependent and can be run entirely independent of each other. However, when used in conjunction with Albert network monitoring sensors, the two services are very effective in preventing ransomware and other malicious attacks from being successful. The MDBR service is easy to implement and requires virtually no maintenance, as CIS and Akamai fully maintain the systems required to provide the service.
