Education Extrusion Prevention Systems

Some of the nation’s largest school districts and universities rely on the Fidelis Extrusion Prevention System®, Fidelis XPS™, to mitigate the risks they face in the protection of personal identity information and adherence to acceptable use policies. The loss of sensitive data goes far beyond the possible compliance consequences—the damage felt by the loss of public confidence in your ability to safeguard privacy-sensitive information, such as student identity, will have repercussions for years to come.

Fidelis XPS provides the first direct control to prevent the extrusion, or unauthorized disclosure, of digital assets including identity information. Through a network appliance, the system enables organizations to actually mitigate their risks by implementing a policy-based approach to prevent the transfer of digital assets, rather than merely reporting on compliance with internal policies and external regulations.

Fidelis XPS is the only next-generation data leakage prevention solution to address even your toughest challenges, allowing you to:

• COMPLY with Privacy Regulations
• SAEFEGUARD Personal Identity Information
• ENFORCE Acceptable Use

COMPLY with Privacy Regulations

Many laws and industry regulations have been passed to protect sensitive information. But sometimes users and technology solutions lose sight of the goal of such regulations—the point is not to issue a report when policies have been breached and a school system is no longer in compliance with internal policies and external regulations, but rather to implement controls that mitigate the risks by preventing the extrusion altogether.
By selectively deploying Fidelis XPS pre-built policies, you can tailor a solution to address the specific privacy-compliance regulations your school must meet. Pre-built policies for Privacy Compliance include PII, HIPAA, State Privacy Regulations, GLBA, FERPA, and CIPA.

SAFEGUARD Personal Identity Information

The protection of personal identity information about students is critical to successful compliance in today’s K-12 environment. An extrusion of this information can have an incredibly negative impact, potentially resulting in loss of federal funding. In order to adequately protect identity information, content flowing on all channels must be monitored to prevent an extrusion. Fidelis XPS allows a school system to quickly deploy an out-of-the-box solution with pre-built policies that automatically recognize sensitive information without labor-intensive data registration or significant false positives, thus saving IT dollars and offering a lower total cost-of-ownership solution.

ENFORCE Acceptable Use

The viewing of inappropriate content/materials and use of unauthorized channels and technologies can result in significant legal liability and reduce employee productivity while consuming precious IT resources like bandwidth and storage. Fidelis XPS is designed to manage and enforce your acceptable use policy with a range of pre-built policies that allows schools to identify and block any session if a policy has been violated, in real time at gigabit speed. Unlike proxy servers that see only a specific protocol on specific ports, Fidelis XPS monitors the content flowing across all network channels on all ports, alerting and/or preventing acceptable use violations, thereby mitigating liabilities and productivity impact.
