Fidelis XPS Information Flow Map™: The Visual Power to See, Study, and Stop Advanced Threats

Fidelis XPS Direct high-performance sensors contain the Information Flow Map™ feature—making it the first network security solution to bring together knowledge of network flow, application, user identity, and transmitted data in a real-time visual map. The Information Flow Map feature within Fidelis XPS further enhances the solution’s ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all information flowing on the network, and the power to analyze and control it.
 

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 proactive situational awareness 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.

How It Works
Working out of-the-box with minimal or no configuration involved, an immediate collection of network traffic presents information flow knowledge, allowing customers to automatically have their Fidelis XPS sensors synthesize details of every network flow including sender, recipient, application/protocol, payload content, as well as a variety of other details. The Information Flow Map feature provides a filterable graphical representation of this information, enabling broad views of information flow down to filtered specific views of users, applications, and/or specific information types. By enabling the network “border” function within the solution, the user can search in the desired layers of the network traffic and its resulting content for rogue activities as it enters or leaves the logical perimeter, with the goal of remediating any found problems automatically.
