Financial sector: Monitoring ATM machines continent-wide
ATM machines are very closed machines by default, so monitoring them is quite difficult as you cannot install any agent on them. Hence, the Exeon team used a different approach—an example of how extended logs in Exeon.NDR are used to create completely new use cases and solve even complex requirements in a very simple way.
