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.

Detecting the highly evasive Sunburst attack using an (old) ML model

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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)

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. 


Exeon: EDR needs NDR for comprehensive security 

In this article, we share some ideas on how to detect and hunt the exploitation (meaning the abuse) of network device vulnerabilities and how a Network Detection and Response (NDR) supports such analysis.

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.

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

"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.

The Future of Network Security: Predictive Analytics and ML-Driven Solutions

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 

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.

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.
