About Seceon Networks:  Seceon is a stealth mode company focused on detecting data center cyber attacks after the breach. Signature based IDS techniques are ineffective in catching never seen before attacks. Next generation firewalls are too expensive, too complex, and add too much network delay to be deployed in server-to-server data flows. Host based systems are to ridged and add processing overhead/complexity to every host deployed. Seceon is focused on delivering what’s needed: A cost-effective approach to detect attacks in server-to-server and server-to-host flows that does not get deployed in the data path, that can detect any attack (zero day onward) and immediately remediates problems, reporting what actions were taken to solve the issues.  It does so with a simple to use intuitive GUI that any operator can understand in less than 30 seconds.
