GD updates Fidelis XPS collector capabilities to beef up customer protection

General Dynamics (GD) Fidelis Cybersecurity has improved its network security analytics offering, Fidelis XPSTM Collector, in a bid to enable security analysts to rapidly detect and remediate threats.

The system’s real-time, automated application of threat intelligence to existing and past metadata offers required data to detect and react to malicious traffic, trim down the time from infiltration to remediation.

Further, the system stores historical network memory required in proactive event detection, incident response and historical analysis and accelerates the detection and remediation of malicious activity.

General Dynamics Fidelis Cybersecurity Solutions product management vice-president Tom Lyons said: "The early detection of threats is crucial to successful discovery, containment and remediation.

"By providing advanced visualisation and correlation capabilities, we’re making it much easier for analysts to determine the root cause of an attack, hunt down the threat actor in their network and fully understand the relationships between indicators of compromise and potentialthreats – helping customers identify malicious traffic faster and take action sooner."

With its rich, content-infused metadata in near real time, Fidelis XPS Collector eliminates the complication of analysing and linking historical data, while bringing down the time to detection and containment.

The improved system comes with advanced data correlation; enhanced visual user interface; integrate with big data analytics; and advanced clustering capabilities.
