Netrunning has changed a bit in Cyberpunk Red. Since I caught the hypebug for this game, I've been diving into so much of the franchise. I watched a video with this group of Tabletop youtubers called Dicebreakers play the Jumpstart kit of Red with Cody Pondsmith (Mike's son). Apparently, while netrunning now, you don't go into a comatose state, but rather it's akin to using VR, so you're semi-aware of what's happening in meat space instead of being totally defenseless. And during the campaign, the netrunner character encountered a security software called "Hellhound" which takes the form of an actual giant hellhound to guard the net level of what you're hacking. So I do hope we see something like that in 2077.
