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.

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.

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.

Computer networks are the foundation of today's information age and protecting them is a crucial element to ensure the proper functioning of most IT solutions. As most organisations become heavily dependent on computer networks to facilitate work operations, a disruption in network service can have catastrophic consequences on the affected entity.

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.

Die IS4IT-Gruppe, ein führender Anbieter im Bereich Cybersicherheit, und der Schweizer Security-Experte Exeon Analytics mit Sitz in Zürich haben eine gemeinsame Service-Partnerschaft abgeschlossen. Das Unternehmen wird für Exeon den Service und Support in Deutschland übernehmen. Eine entsprechende Übereinkunft haben die beiden Anbieter im Juni unterzeichnet.

Prevention and protection are still considered the means of choice when trying to safeguard one's own IT systems. However, the fact that this approach is not sufficient can now be read almost daily in the media. 

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.

More than hundreds of thousands of Microsoft Exchange servers have been hacked globally, whereas the DACH region seems to be highly affected. This Blogpost explains how ExeonTrace can help to detect the intrusion through automated and manual network analysis.

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.

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 through 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.

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.

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.

Cyber attackers typically exploit a company’s weakest link to break in and steal data or launch a ransomware attack. Thus, the better you protect your company’s IT infrastructure from external intruders, the safer it is, right? Unfortunately, this is not necessarily true, as you can also be at risk through your trusted suppliers.

The foreign exchange service provider, Travelex, had a very unpleasant start into the New Year. They became one of the latest corporate ransomware victims. A cyber attack usually consists of multiple stages, each of which can take days to months. Let’s use Travelex to explain the timeline of a ransomware attack*

Imagine that in the jungle of cyber security, your company's data is the El Dorado for your foes. How would you protect your city of gold?

Have you ever flown a drone? It’s not easy to master, but once you are in control, the experience is unique. You reach places which you otherwise wouldn’t and completely change your perspective. However, a good connection between your remote control and the drone is key. Otherwise, you risk crashing the drone and, in the worst case, losing it. 

What is your biggest concern when it comes to the state of your organization’s cybersecurity? In a recently published State of Threat Detection Report, 300 Cyber Security professionals have named automation and visibility as the most significant issues for cybersecurity teams.
