Fidelis Security Systems Provides Industry’s First Complete View of Network Information Flow—Powering the Prevention of Data Breaches

Fidelis XPS™ Information Flow Map™ Gives Organizations Real-time Visibility and Control

WALTHAM, MA & BETHESDA, MD – March 2, 2010 – Fidelis Security Systems, the leader in network security solutions to prevent data leakage and cyber attacks, today announced the addition of the Information Flow Map™ as the latest innovative technology feature in its flagship solution, the Fidelis Extrusion Prevention System® (Fidelis XPS™)—making it the first network security solution to bring together knowledge of network flow, application, and transmitted data in a real-time visual map. The Information Flow Map feature within Fidelis XPS further enhances the award-winning solution’s unrivaled ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all information flowing on the network, and the power to control it.

Built on a patented Deep Session Inspection™ platform, Fidelis XPS is the industry's only network security solution to provide an important layer of defense to an organization’s network security infrastructure with real-time session-level visibility and control on multi-gigabit-speed networks for outbound and optionally bi-directional communications to protect sensitive information from breach—whether to leakage, theft, or exfiltration. Fidelis XPS Information Flow Map enables organizations to:

• Take the knowledge of their network beyond mere "alerts" to an actual understanding of how information is being circulated inside their enterprises and where it is going outside the network;
• Gain greater visibility, in real-time, of any policy violations, hidden or unauthorized activities, rogue business processes, and abuse;
• Enable comprehensive information protection by illustrating where additional resources need to be applied in the network;
• Discover existing business processes as a precursor to setting data leakage policies;
• Manage network data security even in situations where the administrator is not permitted to view or act on sensitive content;
• Ascertain the most active hosts on their network, including what information is being sent and protocols being used in order to create policies to remedy any found problems quickly and easily.

Fidelis Security Systems and Safend Announce Integrated Solution

New Partnership Couples Award-Winning Products---Safend’s Endpoint Data Protection Suite and Fidelis Security’s Network Security Solution

March 2, 2010 – Waltham, MA and Philadelphia, PA – FidelisSecurity Systems, the market leader in comprehensive information protection solutions for the prevention of data breaches, and Safend, the leading provider of endpoint data protection and leakage prevention solutions, today announced the availability of the integration of both companies’ core product offerings. The partnership combines Safend’s extensive endpoint capabilitiesand user awareness and Fidelis’ award-winning network data leakage prevention solution with comprehensive protocol coverage. The offering will be made available to new customers and to the companies’ respective installed bases.

The joint solution will leverage Fidelis’ Simple Content Inspection Protocol (SCIP) and the Fidelis XPS™ Connect system, the first product in the industry to offer content awareness as a service, to enable customers to apply consistent, integrated policies to content in use at the endpoint and content in motion on the network. The Fidelis XPS Connect VM virtual appliance will enable large enterprise and government customers to distribute this solution throughout the entire network–in data centers, regional offices, and branches.

"Anti Data Leakage (ADL) is not just about identity information (PII) or stopping stupid [and never was] and buyers are figuring this out. I liken Information Protection to painting a three story house. Many ran out and purchased an eight foot step ladder. As they go to paint the top two floors, many offerings simply lack the architecture to scale," said Joshua Corman, Research Director, Enterprise Security Practice at The 451 Group. “Fidelis’ session aware architecture is scaling quite well - with clients using it to assist with Aurora-Era Advanced Persistent Adversaries/Threats (APTs). On the endpoint, Safend continues to deliver incremental value to its clients - pushing beyond cursory offerings from AV incumbents. Challengers individually, The 451 Group is interested to see their combined impact."
