Swiss cybersecurity startup at the world's largest technology show in Dubai
The GITEX technology trade fair in Dubai is the world's largest technology and start-up trade fair and the most important business and technology event for the Middle East, Africa and Asia. It takes place from October 14 to 18. High-caliber exhibitors will be on site again this year, including the Swiss cybersecurity startup Exeon.
At GITEX 2024, various Swiss companies will be presenting topics ranging from AI, metaverse, blockchain, cyber security and telecommunications to climate tech and future mobility at the Swiss Pavilion. Exeon Analytics, a young cybersecurity company dedicated to protecting corporate IT/OT landscapes through AI-driven security analytics, will also be presenting its Network Detection & Response (NDR) platform to a global audience for the first time at the technology fair in Dubai. The Zurich-based cybersecurity specialist's platform is characterized not only by the fact that it does not require additional agents and sensors, but also by its high level of deployment flexibility (either in the cloud or in the company's own data center). The on-premise version in particular significantly increases the security of sensitive data in critical sectors such as finance, healthcare and public administration, as data sovereignty remains entirely within the company, Exeon continues. Gregor Erismann, Co-CEO Exeon Analytics: "GITEX offers us the ideal setting to take a further step in our internationalization strategy with our AI-driven cyber security innovations and to get in touch with many potential customers and partners."
Exeon Analytics' NDR platform provides comprehensive protection against cyber threats by monitoring network communications. ExeonTrace uses lightweight traffic metadata for analysis, does not require complex traffic mirroring or packet decryption and leverages existing IT, cloud and OT infrastructure to collect analytics data. The self-learning algorithms (AI) were developed at ETH Zurich. The AI detects anomalies in real time and uncovers as yet unknown attacks, which primarily strengthens the cyber resilience of companies that are part of the critical infrastructure - energy, finance, health and utilities. Swiss customers include companies such as Swiss International Air Lines, PostFinance and the Swiss Federal Administration. Nils Planzer, CEO of Planzer Transport AG, is also quoted: "With ExeonTrace, we at Planzer have found a Swiss solution to monitor our network and detect cyber threats at an early stage."
