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