At the Microsoft AI Conference in Switzerland, I stood with my colleagues Simon and Hana, ready to share something we know inside out: how Exeon Analytics tackles the real question — not “Is there a robber in the bank?” but “Is there a hacker in your network?”
Right from the beginning, it was evident that this was more than a mere technical explanation — it was a narrative. We guided the audience through the ways attackers are becoming more sophisticated, while security teams frequently find themselves understaffed, overwhelmed, and under significant pressure.
The Sherlock Holmes Analogy
The heart of our message was simple: Exeon doesn’t just send alerts — it connects the dots.
We described it as Sherlock Holmes for your network:
Deep, end-to-end visibility using the data you already have.
No agents. No extra hardware.
Advanced machine learning that uncovers what others miss.
Context that tells you who did what, when, and why it matters.
Explainable intelligence — so you know why a threat was flagged.
As we spoke, the audience could picture that ever-vigilant detective, whispering: “This… is where to look.”
More Than Just a Pitch
What stood out to me wasn’t just the delivery — it was how we got there. Preparing for this session was a team effort. We fine-tuned the script together, made sure each handover was smooth, and kept the storytelling sharp.
Even for something that might seem straightforward — a short conference pitch — the value of collaboration was undeniable. We learned from each other, strengthened the message, and built confidence in one another’s abilities.
Why Teamwork Matters
Presenting as a team isn’t just about splitting speaking parts. It’s about:
Trust: Knowing the person next to you is ready to step in if needed.
Consistency: Ensuring the message flows naturally from one voice to another.
Shared Wins: Turning a single presentation into a shared achievement.
And yes — it’s also about creating memories. Standing together in front of that audience, delivering a message we believed in, is something I’ll carry with me well beyond the event.
