Fidelis Security introduces XPS Collector for advanced threat defence

Fidelis Security Systems has introduced Fidelis XPS Collector, a new network appliance for the Fidelis XPS network security portfolio to enable the storage, query and correlation of all sessions on a network.

The Fidelis XPS Collector has been designed for enterprises and government agencies to quickly and accurately detect new attacks.

Fidelis Security Systems president Peter George said, "With the powerful query and correlation capabilities now in the Fidelis XPS Collector, security teams have the ability to understand the full scope of campaigns conducted against them by their adversaries – giving them a much needed advantage in the battle to safeguard their vital information from malicious, global threats."

The new system along with Fidelis XPS sensors and Fidelis XPS CommandPost allows security teams to detect and identify malicious sessions that have been designed to remain undetected from traditional security tools, which usually rely on previous knowledge of the threat or its behavior.

Capable of protecting throughout the entire lifecycle of threat including initial infection, command and control, propagation, and data exfiltration, the Fidelis XPS Collector provides continuous visibility to continue detection of new attacks.

The new system can be used for advanced threat defence by quickly correlating sessions that may have triggered a policy-driven rule and identifying other systems which could have been breached as part of the same attack.

In addition to Intelligent Network Forensics to improve forensic capabilities, the new platform can also be used for data breach prevention and cloud services security.
