In November 2024, ELLIO expanded its Deception Network with new honeypots and sensors to tackle the growing wave of mass exploitation and scanning activity. These upgrades improve real-time detection and deep-dive analysis of exploitation attempts and opportunistic reconnaissance.
Mass exploitation has rapidly become a dominant infection vector, surpassing botnets in driving ransomware incidents. Recent research highlights the explosive growth in both the volume and severity of attacks, with high-profile vulnerabilities like MOVEit, CitrixBleed, Cisco XE, FortiOS, Ivanti ConnectSecure, PAN-OS, Junos, and ScreenConnect being widely exploited.
From analysts to executives, cybernoise disrupts everyone.
The ELLIO Deception Network detects 16M new observations daily, with the volume continuing to rise. On average, analysts spend over a third of their time chasing down incidents that either aren’t real or were flagged as critical by mistake. Even with advanced tools and skilled experts in place, the risk of missing real cyber threats remains high.
The growing wave of mass exploitation, automated bots, and large-scale scanning attacks is becoming a serious “silent” threat for security teams. These attacks, constantly on the lookout for vulnerabilities, are overwhelming systems and making it harder to spot real threats and targeted attacks in time.
“This cybernoise isn’t just frustrating for analysts. It’s also a challenge for business leaders. Rising cybersecurity costs don’t always deliver the results they should because all this noise lowers productivity and slows down both systems and teams,” adds Jana Tom, COO at ELLIO
16M unique observations daily.
