Microsoft's "Edge" Unveils Fully Automated "Eco" Platform for Comprehensive Vulnerability Detection

ORYXLABS, a cybersecurity company under the EDGE Group, has launched ECHO, a fully automated platform that detects and prevents cyber breaches before they happen. The platform monitors network activity from outside company systems and can spot malicious command-and-control infrastructure before hackers break through defenses.

The announcement came during GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai. ECHO works by watching network traffic and DNS activity from an external viewpoint, giving security teams an independent look at potential threats. This outside perspective helps catch attacks that internal monitoring might miss.

Here's what makes ECHO different: it uses machine learning to identify and shut down malicious infrastructure before hackers can use it. The platform can customize its settings for different organizations and handles most threat response automatically, requiring minimal human intervention.

The system also monitors for data breaches in real time, including attempts to steal sensitive personal information. It can even catch data leaks coming from trusted partners or supply chain vendors - a growing concern as companies rely more on third-party services.

For cybersecurity professionals, this represents a shift toward proactive defense rather than reactive damage control. Traditional security tools often detect breaches after they've already happened. ECHO aims to catch threats during the early stages of an attack.

"ECHO is part of ORYXLABS' mission to give cybersecurity teams the latest technical solutions to assess, monitor and protect their environments," said Rogerio Lemos, CEO of ORYXLABS. "Through actionable insights and full automation, ECHO will strengthen defense capabilities for critical organizations in the UAE and beyond."

ORYXLABS specializes in software that continuously evaluates and protects network environments. The company's award-winning products include DNS FIREWALL and DISCOVERY, which focus on attack surface management, risk assessment, and DNS monitoring and protection.

The timing matters for the UAE, which has been building its position as a regional tech hub while facing increasing cyber threats. Government and private sector organizations need tools that can keep pace with sophisticated attack methods. Automated platforms like ECHO could help smaller security teams handle threats that would otherwise require large staffs of specialists.
