Fidelis Security Systems Wins Frost & Sullivan 2008 Growth Excellence Of The Year Award in Infrastructure Protection

  • Aug 12, 2008

Fidelis Security Systems, a producer of data leakage prevention (DLP) solutions recently announced that Frost & Sullivan, the Growth Partnership Company, has named the Fidelis Extrusion Prevention System, Fidelis XPS, winner of the 2008 Growth Excellence of the Year Award in Infrastructure Protection.

To earn this award Fidelis exemplified leadership in the market during the year and demonstrated a strategy that will have a lasting impact on the market.

“The data leakage prevention market has evolved tremendously over the past several years yet the Fidelis XPS solution has risen above the competition because it demonstrates the strategic balance of prevention and ease of integration to an existing infrastructure,” said Frost & Sullivan analyst Terrence Brewton. “Fidelis Security Systems Inc. understands that this balance is the key to market leadership and has engineered a DLP solution with this in mind.”

Built on a patent-pending deep session inspection platform, the Fidelis Extrusion Prevention System, Fidelis XPS, is a data leakage prevention solution with the power to deliver comprehensive prevention over all channels on all ports with widespread visibility and control to stop network data leakage on gigabit-speed networks.

In addition to addressing inadvertent data leakage, Fidelis XPS adds an additional layer of defense-in-depth by providing the ability to detect and control both content and applications in use on the network across all network ports. The ability to manage content and applications -- both individually or logically combined -- solves more complex problems, provides an organization the ability to see and control what is occurring across the network, and ultimately extends the infrastructure protection capabilities to detect and contain risky activities that originate from inside the organization. Through this insight and control into how people communicate -- and with what applications -- the risks associated with the overall infrastructure can be detected and contained.

"We are pleased that Frost & Sullivan has honored Fidelis XPS with this award, confirming that we are light-years ahead of our competition in developing a next-generation DLP solution,” said Peter George, CEO of Fidelis Security Systems, Inc. “We understand that to be the market leader we must think ahead -- designing a network appliance that delivers accuracy and efficiency, as well as being flexible and scaleable, to meet the needs of the customer.”

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
