Cyber attacks are becoming more frequent and more serious. The most recent example is the worldwide attack on Microsoft's Exchange Server: In March, hackers infiltrated the system via four security holes. This allowed them to log in as administrator without a password and thus read emails or access passwords and devices of their victims in the network. An estimated 250,000 systems were affected - 30 per cent of them in the DACH region. The fact that so many companies in German-speaking countries fell victim to the attack is no coincidence. In many places the necessary security awareness is still lacking.

Cyber attacks are becoming more and more frequent and the damage caused to companies is correspondingly greater. Exposed entry points for hackers (Microsoft Exchange, SolarWinds, etc.) are just the tip of the iceberg. Phishing activities on employees are also becoming increasingly sophisticated. In short, whether hackers are active in your network is only a matter of time - if they're not already in it. Fast, reliable and holistic network monitoring for early detection of anomalies is therefore more important than ever.

Visibility NOW - complete visibility of network activities, faster than ever before

Ransomware is one of the most worrying cybersecurity threats for organisations worldwide. In February 2022, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a Cybersecurity Advisory cautioning organisations against the "increased ransomware threat" in 2022. Without proper security controls in place, any organisation is vulnerable to the catastrophic impact of ransomware attacks.

Ransomware and the Need for NDR to Provide Robust Protection

We are often asked what exactly differentiates ExeonTrace from other Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions. Our numerous conversations with security professionals show they find ExeonTrace’s data analysis approach most convincing. 

How does the analysis of existing network log data secure your IT infrastructure?

The average cost of a data breach is a whopping €3.18 million (or $3.86 million at the time of writing this article). As intruders on enterprise networks increased dramatically, it’s now critical to detect and eliminate threats before any real damage is done. This makes robust Network Detection and Response (NDR) vital to cyber security.

Next-Gen Network Detection & Response

Prevention and protection are still considered the means of choice when safeguarding one's own IT systems. However, the fact that this approach is not sufficient can now be read almost daily in the media. Current cases such as the attack on Microsoft Exchange, Colonial Pipeline in the United States or, most recently, Siegfried in Switzerland illustrate the dangers: Business interruptions, loss of trust among customers and partners, product defects or legal consequences.

NDR: The new pillar of cybersecurity

The Swiss cybersecurity provider Exeon Analytics AG has set itself the goal of becoming the leading "network detection and response" provider in Europe. Well-known investors see the potential of the Swiss solution and support the project with know-how and funds amounting to more than CHF4 million. The ETH spin-off Exeon already has a wide customer base in Switzerland, including two of the five largest Swiss banks and well-known logistics companies. The first major customers have also already been acquired in Germany and Austria.

We usually write a lot about industry news and our cutting-edge Network Detection & Response solution, ExeonTrace. However, just as much can be told about our company's core: the Exeon Team. In the first few months of 2022, our team grew by over 30%, and we are ambitious to expand even further in the future. With this mini blog series, our talented new colleagues will provide personal insights into working at Exeon and how they experienced their first days. In this first blog post, we interviewed Noè Canevascini, our new Recruitment and IT support intern.

The Swiss IT security company Exeon Analytics warns against trusting third-party applications unconditionally, regardless of whether they are contract developments or standard solutions from renowned manufacturers. The problem with such applications is that they often require extensive authorisations or receive them unnecessarily. At the same time, such third-party software usually acts as a black box without transparency into the individual actions or data streams. 

Exeon recommends consistent monitoring of third-party applications

Swiss network detection and response (NDR) vendor Exeon Analytics is strengthening its commitment to the German market and has brought Michael Tullius on board as Sales Director Germany, an experienced security expert.

Intrusion incidents have become very common in recent years, with widescale cyberattacks affecting organisations virtually every week. Threat actors are constantly trying to break into enterprise networks and compromise business assets. To prevent a breach from occurring, many companies employ Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS). In order to identify and prevent threats, these solutions rely on signature-based detection, which allows for automatic intrusion detection. However, this approach can cause various blind spots and weaknesses in network protection. Network Detection and Response (NDR) can overcome these drawbacks for more reliable and holistic protection against intrusions. 

How Network Detection and Response (NDR) Fills the Security Gaps of Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) 

ExeonTrace, our future-proof Network Detection & Response platform, has been recognised as one of the best network security providers by Cybernews. ExeonTrace is an AI-driven network analysis solution that can detect and eliminate sophisticated cyberthreats before they cause any harm to organisations.  

Exeon featured as a top network security provider 

Endpoint devices like desktops, laptops, and mobile phones enable users to connect to enterprise networks and use their resources for their day-to-day work. However, they also expand the attack surface and make the organisation vulnerable to malicious cyberattacks and data breaches.

Why Organisations Need Both EDR and NDR for Complete Network Protection

We usually write a lot about industry news and our cutting-edge Network Detection & Response solution, ExeonTrace. However, just as much can be told about our company's core: the Exeon Team. In the first few months of 2022, our team grew by over 30%, and we are ambitious to expand even further in the future. With this mini blog series, our talented colleagues will provide personal insights into working at Exeon. In this blog post, we asked Louis Leclair, our backend development intern, to tell us about his 6-months long internship at Exeon.

Due to complex and distributed IT processes, rising personnel costs and an increasing need for IT security solutions, more and more companies are opting for Managed Security Services (MSS). In this case, an IT service provider takes over the development and operation of a suitable, individually adapted security architecture consisting of individual IT security services. However, there are significant differences between the individual Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP). To better understand what distinguishes the MSS offering of our successful partner Ensec, we asked its CTO Rolf Scheurer for an interview.

With the analysis of metadata instead of the otherwise common Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), the Swiss cybersecurity company Exeon Analytics is establishing a modernised and future-proof Network Detection & Response (NDR) solution in the European market. The metadata analysis is - in contrast to the established DPI-based procedures - not affected by encrypted data traffic. This is relevant as modern cyber attacks such as APTs, ransomware and lateral movements rely heavily on encrypted communications for attack instructions from remote command and control (C&C) servers

Exeon revolutionises NDR through metadata analysis 

IS4IT Group, a leading provider in the field of cyber security, and the Swiss security expert Exeon Analytics, headquartered in Zurich, have concluded a joint service partnership. The company will provide service and support in Germany for Exeon. The two providers signed a corresponding agreement in June. 

IS4IT and Exeon Analytics AG agree on service partnership 

Women are significantly underrepresented in cybersecurity. Even though this trend is shifting, today, women only represent about a quarter of the cyber workforce. Considering the explosive growth and consequential talent shortage in cybersecurity, it is crucial to encourage more women into the cyber industry.

The importance of Diversity in Cybersecurity

An NDR solution allows an enterprise to strengthen its security defence against advanced cyberthreats and other non-malware attacks. As more enterprises opt to leverage cloud technologies and IoT devices in their IT environment, having an NDR solution is a must for any company that wants to become cyber resilient in today's information age.

NDR Evaluation Criteria

Boosted by the continual advancement of digital technologies, cyberattacks are increasing in number and sophistication. The variety of legacy and modern IT systems in use, the interconnection of appliances (that used to run isolated), and the vast number of third-party suppliers are increasingly challenging to holistically protect the IT landscape.

SOC Visibility Triad and the role of NDR solutions

Modern networks have a multitude of third-party systems in use. Consequently, third-party applications have become a security-relevant priority in order to protect one's network. Security teams require complete transparency over their IT/OT network.

Third-party cyber risks – and how ExeonTrace can provide complete system transparency

"Network Detection & Response" has quickly established itself as the leading method for identifying hackers in networks at an early stage, before they cause any damage. Network Detection & Response" is thus becoming an increasingly central pillar of a modern cybersecurity architecture. The Swiss provider Exeon Analytics AG alone has tripled its customer base over the past year.

Network Detection & Response establishes itself as central cybersecurity pillar

Compromised servers are likely to be used as relays and as an entry point for various attacks against corporate networks, such as ransomware attacks. Besides relying on ExeonTrace’s automated detection, Exeon’s customers can retrospectively check the network behaviour of potentially vulnerable servers using the “Client server pairs” visualization, as outlined in our previous post on the detection of Log4j.
The ExeonTrace NDR solution itself doesn’t use Spring and is therefore unaffected by the vulnerability.

Severe vulnerability in the Spring Framework

In this blog post, we explain how to work with threatfeeds in ExeonTrace for the detection of devices compromised through the Log4j vulnerability. Our first blog post provides you with more technical background information.

A wide-spread cyber-attack against multiple government agencies, critical infrastructure providers and private sector organizations such as FireEye was made public this December. The attackers breached their victims' IT networks by compromising the software supplier SolarWinds, which allowed them to install a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) through SolarWinds' software update mechanism. In this blog you learn how ML-based detection mechanisms contain such attacks before signatures or Indicators Of Compromise (IOCs) are publicly known.

The global financial stability is increasingly at risk thorugh cyber attacks, claims the IMF according to a recent report. The authors argue that cyber attacks become easier to undertake, increasingly sophisticated and, as an effect, much more prevalent.

Cyber attacks threaten financial stability

Today, companies collect huge amounts of security-relevant data for cyber monitoring. But the problem lies in efficiently analyzing this data - especially across different data sources. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) reveal new possibilities with the help of AI.

XDR – A new weapon in the fight against cyber threats

When a company realizes that its protection concept has failed, it is often already too late. What to do? The Network Detection and Response (NDR) concept offers a new arsenal for cyber defense. Cybersecurity has so far been focusing on preventive measures. Once an attacker managed to get past these measures, the company network lays defenseless in front of them. Today, thanks to AI-supported network monitoring, such attacks can now be stopped, before it is too late.

Prevention is only half the battle

Zurich, February 15, 2021 - Various media are reporting today on a warning from the cybersecurity company Eset. The latter had reported that the hacker group "Evilnum" has been targeting Switzerland fintech companies since December 2020. With so-called spear phishing emails, i.e. attacks against selected targets in the company, recipients are to be tricked into clicking on a link to a ZIP file and extracting it.

The remote code execution vulnerability against Apache Log4j2 [https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-44228] is one of the most severe vulnerabilities we have seen for a long time. It’s so severe because the vulnerability is very easy to exploit and the Log4j logging library is used by many Java applications. Thus, one must assume that nearly any larger organization is potentially affected, either due to software developed in-house or via Java software provided by suppliers. After giving some background, we’ll explain how one can identify exploited systems using our ExeonTrace NDR software in this blog post.

Threat Hunting and Detection of the Log4j Exploit using the ExeonTrace NDR

Zurich, September 22, 2022 - With ExeonTrace, the Swiss security company Exeon Analytics offers an intrusion detection solution that goes far beyond the capabilities of traditional intrusion prevention systems (IPS). In particular, ExeonTrace can detect zero-day attacks, against which IPS solutions cannot provide protection due to their signature-based detection. While such systems are suitable for automated detection and defense against known attacks, they must be complemented by other security solutions for comprehensive protection. 

Reliable intrusion prevention even for encrypted network traffic and zero-day attacks

Digital transformation has witnessed a boost in recent years, especially in the wake of the COVID19 pandemic, which accelerated the adoption of digital technologies by several years in just a few months. Integrating digital technology in business has brought significant benefits. However, it also opened the door wide for new security risks and vulnerabilities.

Today, most Network Detection and Response solutions rely on traffic mirroring and deep packet inspection (DPI). Traffic mirroring is typically deployed on a single core switch to provide a copy of the network traffic to a sensor which uses DPI to thoroughly analyse the payload. While this approach provides detailed analysis, it requires large amounts of processing power and is blind when it comes to encrypted network traffic. Metadata analysis has been specifically developed to overcome these limitations. By utilising metadata for analysis, network communications can be observed at any collection point and be enriched by information providing insights about encrypted communication.

Deep Packet Inspection vs. Metadata Analysis of NDR solutions

Swiss security company Exeon Analytics warns against relying only on traditional endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to secure endpoints. Numerous endpoints in modern, hybrid networks do not support the agents needed to do so, and where such agents are running, they can potentially be leveraged and disabled by sophisticated attacks. In addition, because of the trend toward home working and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), IT and security teams often do not have access to privately owned employee endpoints that may also be used by additional family members.
