Exeon Analytics: Pioneering Cybersecurity Solutions
Founded in Zurich, Exeon Analytics has quickly established itself as a leader in cybersecurity, focusing on protecting sensitive data across various sectors. Their NDR platform is particularly noteworthy for its unique features: it operates without the need for additional agents and sensors, offering high deployment flexibility—whether in the cloud or on-premises. This flexibility is crucial for organizations in critical sectors like finance, healthcare, and public administration, where data sovereignty is paramount.
Gregor Erismann, Co-CEO of Exeon Analytics, emphasizes the importance of GITEX for their internationalization strategy. "GITEX offers us the ideal setting to take a further step in our internationalization strategy with our AI-driven cybersecurity innovations and to get in touch with many potential customers and partners," he stated.
Advanced Threat Detection with ExeonTrace
Exeon Analytics’ flagship product, ExeonTrace, provides comprehensive protection against cyber threats by continuously monitoring network communications. The platform utilizes lightweight traffic metadata for analysis, eliminating the need for complex traffic mirroring or packet decryption. This innovative approach allows organizations to leverage their existing IT, cloud, and OT infrastructure for analytics data collection.
The self-learning algorithms powering ExeonTrace were developed at ETH Zurich, one of the leading technical universities in the world. These algorithms detect anomalies in real time, uncovering previously unknown attacks and significantly enhancing the cyber resilience of organizations that are part of critical infrastructure sectors, including energy, finance, health, and utilities.
