Seceon Innovations in 2023 A Look Back on a Big
Year
Seceon has a long history of innovating our
cybersecurity platform and its powerful detection
and response capabilities. Seceon was founded in
2015 and since then has been recognized globally
for its highly efficient architecture and mission
to ingest telemetry from the widest number of
attack surfaces and provide the highest level of
correlation and situational awareness in the
industry. In fact, in Gartners late 2019 report,
Emerging Technology Analysis Machine Learning
Log Analysis Disrupts Traditional SIEM Buying
Models by Eric Ahlm, Seceon and others were
recognized for Use of data modeling to detect
threats created from enhanced or enriched log
data gathered from internal sources and external
sources

Since then, Machine Learning has taken the world
by storm, and Seceon has greatly improved our
models and applied them to cloud environments,
including containers, databases, applications,
and endpoints. 2023 saw seceon release several
new products, including
Seceon aiSecurity Score360 is a service that
provides comprehensivescanning and assessments
of attack surfaces. external scans include
intelligence from the CVE, NVT, OVAL, CPE etc.
databases. The comprehensive and modular
dashboard includes clickable charts and tables
and drill down capabilities, making values in
the dashboard become meaningful and
actionable. Seceon aiSecurity BI360, is an
expansion of the platforms reporting
capabilities that enables partners to select from
pre-set compliance and regulatory framework
reports, including CMMC, HIPAA, PCI- DSS, NIST,
GDPR, and, perform their own analytics and
reporting.

file integrity monitoring, data control, data
security, including PII and PHI monitoring, and
continuous security posture monitoring.
The platform itself has been improving and got a
great boost when it acquired Helixera a real-time
big data analytics company, and the Helixera
Pattern Scanning Engine, which makes possible the
analysis of data in a distributed manner at
locations that were not previously viable. It
brings real-time scanning to distributed devices
at the edge and enables instant responses to any
malicious or configurable posture. Seceon has
long had the industrys best correlation and
situational awareness capabilities for the teams
that choose to dive deep in the pHloawtfcoarnmI
ahenldp iynogue?st telemetry from all attack
surfaces. This year Seceon added an improved
heuristic to support an industry-firstcorrelation
of connected and disconnected assets. They can
now be correlated automatically. These assets now
contribute to the Seceon DTM (Dynamic Threat
Models) for alert detection. Speed and accuracy
of proactive threat detection improves SOC
efficiency multi-fold.
