Discover how a unified endpoint security platform improves EDR, XDR cyber security, and automated threat response—enhancing endpoint visibility across hybrid and multicloud environments.

It’s easy to miss critical signs when endpoint tools work in isolation. When a laptop shows unusual behavior but its network or cloud interactions are invisible, early compromise can go undetected. By bringing together endpoint detection and response (EDR), network telemetry, and cloud context under a unified security approach, teams gain the full picture needed to spot threats quickly. This post explains why silos weaken endpoint visibility, how continuous monitoring and automation close gaps, and how integrating cloud and identity data supports hybrid and multi-cloud security. We’ll also show how Fidelis Elevate’s real capabilities deliver on these needs. How Do Silos Weaken Endpoint Visibility? When endpoint telemetry isn’t linked with network or cloud data, suspicious events can’t be fully understood. An alert on a file change may indicate malware, but without knowing if that file attempted external connections or triggered unusual cloud API calls, analysts lack context. These blind spots delay detection and response. 1. Endpoint telemetry without network context Endpoint agents may flag anomalies, but without correlating network flows, you can’t see if a compromised device communicates with malicious servers. This gap can let data exfiltration or lateral movement proceed unnoticed. Use-case example: If a workstation unexpectedly modifies system files late at night, but its subsequent outbound connections to an unfamiliar IP aren’t captured by the endpoint tool, defenders miss the chain of malicious behavior. Fidelis Elevate in Action: Fidelis Elevate collects endpoint telemetry and pairs it with deep session inspection of network traffic. When a device shows suspicious...

Build resilient DDoS defense with real-time network analysis. Monitor traffic, detect anomalies, and respond faster than ever

DDoS Defense with up-to-the-minute network analysis has become crucial as these attacks have disrupted network security for almost 20 years. The landscape changed dramatically in 2018 when the first multi-terabyte per second DDoS attacks crippled major organizations. GitHub experienced a massive 1. 3TB/s attack that year, which dwarfed the previous record - a 602GB/s attack on the BBC just two years earlier. The scale and complexity of these attacks keep growing, which demands an evolution in DDoS detection and response strategies. Modern defense strategies rely heavily on continuous traffic monitoring that helps security teams spot and stop threats before they inflict major damage. Organizations can use network traffic analysis to differentiate between normal traffic surges and malicious flooding attempts. Decoding the Modern DDoS Landscape DDoS attacks keep evolving with more sophisticated methods that target critical infrastructure. Network analysts need to understand these attacks and their effects to build better defense systems through up-to-the-minute data analysis. What Are the Main Types of DDoS Attacks? Type of DDoS Attack Description Example / Impact Volumetric Attacks Overwhelm networks by flooding them with high volumes of traffic. Includes UDP floods that consume all available bandwidth or resources. Protocol Attacks Exploit weaknesses in network protocols to exhaust server resources. Targets elements like firewalls and load balancers, disrupting core systems. Application-Layer Attacks (Layer 7) Mimic legitimate user behavior to overload application servers. Require fewer resources but can still cause major disruption by sending many valid-looking requests. Which Industries Are Most Targeted by DDoS Attacks? Finance Financial...

Discover how to implement vulnerability scanning across IT assets and cloud environments. Learn best practices for automated, continuous scanning and see how Fidelis Elevate supports hybrid security.

Traditional IT environments remain vulnerable when scans are done infrequently or manually. Static scanning misses shadow IT ignores transient devices, and often overlooks systems not regularly scheduled for scans. Take the example of a remote office server that was deployed temporarily for a project. If it’s not included in regular scanning schedules, it might run unpatched and unnoticed for months—an easy target for attackers. Fidelis Elevate continuously discovers and maps IT assets as they appear across the enterprise network. Every server, workstation, or rogue device is auto-profiled and assessed for risk exposure. Elevate’s real-time network traffic inspection ensures that even the assets missed by traditional scans are monitored and evaluated on the fly. What Role Does Vulnerability Scanning Play in Cloud and Hybrid Environments? As enterprises shift to cloud-first or hybrid architectures, vulnerability scanning has to account for elasticity, shared responsibility models, and multi-cloud complexity. Static IPs no longer exist; ephemeral assets come and go within minutes. Traditional tools built for static networks struggle in these dynamic conditions. Let’s explore the core requirements for effective cloud vulnerability scanning: 1. Hybrid Asset Discovery & Inventory: Blind spots in asset visibility are one of the leading causes of undetected vulnerabilities in hybrid networks. Without a unified view, devices can operate outside the scope of your scans—exposing critical systems. Questions to Consider: Are all cloud accounts and on-prem networks fully mapped? Are we discovering shadow IT or unmanaged resources? Key Actions: Use cloud APIs and real-time traffic data to identify assets. Maintain a...

Meta description: Enhance your NDR with Fidelis Deception®. Detect threats faster, reduce false positives, and gain deeper visibility with deception-driven network defense.

Network Detection and Response systems excel at monitoring network traffic and identifying patterns, but they face inherent challenges with sophisticated threats that mimic legitimate behavior. Fidelis Deception® addresses these NDR limitations by creating definitive detection points that eliminate ambiguity in threat identification. What Are the Main Limitations of NDR Systems? Traditional NDR relies on behavioral analysis and signature matching, which creates detection gaps when attackers use legitimate tools and protocols. False positives consume analyst time while true threats may blend into normal network activity. Unlike traditional security measures and traditional security approaches, which often struggle to detect sophisticated threats, deception-enhanced detection and response provides a proactive and resilient layer that identifies malicious activity with greater accuracy. Fidelis Deception® eliminates this uncertainty by deploying assets that legitimate users never access, making any interaction a clear indicator of malicious activity. When integrated with Fidelis Network®, deception technology transforms the network environment into an active detection grid where attackers reveal themselves through interaction with strategically placed decoys and lures. This integrated security solution enhances network security by providing comprehensive detection and response capabilities across the organization's infrastructure. How Does Deception Technology Integrate with NDR Architecture? Fidelis Deception® employs automated terrain mapping to analyze network topology and asset relationships. Machine learning algorithms determine optimal placement for deceptive assets based on attacker movement patterns and high-value target proximity. The system deploys three categories of deceptive assets: Network Infrastructure Decoys Emulated servers, workstations, and network devices that mirror production environments. These decoys run authentic services and...

Unlock continuous network visibility and intelligence-driven prioritization to transform your vulnerability management. See how Fidelis Elevate delivers real-time traffic analysis, risk scoring, and automated patching for the highest-impact remediation.

Every month, thousands of new vulnerabilities flood security feeds, yet many organizations still depend on quarterly scans and static inventories. That means critical flaws on shadow-IT devices or lateral-movement paths go unnoticed until it’s too late. Meanwhile, your team wastes precious cycles chasing low-risk issues while genuine exploits spread unchecked. It doesn’t have to be this way. By combining continuous network monitoring with an intelligence-driven, risk-based approach, you can focus efforts on the vulnerabilities that attackers actually target—shrinking exposure windows and closing gaps in real time. Fidelis Elevate’s XDR platform delivers the deep visibility, threat context, and automated prioritization needed to turn vulnerability management into a proactive, data-driven cycle. How Does Unified Detection and Analysis Accelerate Your Vulnerability Program? When you can’t see east–west traffic—or miss devices that appear and disappear—you’re blind to large swaths of your network. Attackers love these blind spots, using them to probe for weaknesses and pivot laterally before any alarm sounds. By tapping directly into your network fabric and inspecting every packet, you gain a live inventory of all connected assets and immediate insight into anomalous behavior. For example, if a newly joined IoT camera begins sending large data streams to an unknown IP, that traffic jump-starts an investigation instead of slipping past a monthly scan. Lets see how it done: 1. Real-Time Asset Discovery Shadow IT and temporary VMs often escape scheduled scans for days. Imagine a contractor’s laptop connecting overnight to critical databases—without real-time discovery, you won’t know until logs are manually reviewed....

Learn how to build a real-time, risk-informed asset inventory to enhance threat detection, improve asset visibility, and reduce security blind spots with Fidelis Elevate.

Organizations often lack a complete, up-to-date inventory of their IT assets – servers, endpoints, cloud instances, IoT devices, and more – creating security blind spots. Attackers exploit these unknown devices and outdated systems. Without knowing “what you have, you can’t protect it. ” Poor asset visibility dramatically increases risk: you’re slower to spot breaches, can’t prioritize defenses, and may fail compliance checks. On average, companies take hundreds of days to detect breaches simply because they didn’t know every asset that could be attacked. The consequences are real. One missed device can hide malware or leak data for months. Analysts end up chasing false alarms on low-value machines while real threats roam on critical servers. Weak inventory means vulnerability scans miss targets and incident response is blind – you don’t know which systems were hit. Organizations rely on outdated spreadsheets or siloed CMDBs that overlook cloud workloads and unmanaged devices. In short, threat detection is crippled without a solid asset foundation. The cure is to build a real-time, risk-informed asset inventory as the bedrock of security. Continuously discovering and classifying every device gives defenders the complete picture they need. With full asset visibility, you can focus detection on high-value targets and map suspicious activity to specific systems. In the sections below, we’ll show why this inventory is essential, how to build it, and how it supercharges threat detection – with concrete guidance and examples. Let’s explore how to make asset discovery and management the foundation of robust threat detection. Why Is...

Learn why proactive cybersecurity strategies are essential to outpace threats. Shift from reactive defense to a prevention-first security approach.

In today’s digital landscape, the importance of adopting a proactive approach to cybersecurity, which involves predictive and retrospective strategies, cannot be overstated. While traditional protective and reactive defenses remain crucial as the first line of defense, they are no longer sufficient on their own. With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated and constantly evolving, organizations must augment these defenses with a proactive approach to stay ahead of potential threats. A proactive cybersecurity strategy allows organizations to detect and respond to threats before significant damage occurs, strengthening defenses and mitigating risks. While reactive measures are essential, they often fall short against sophisticated attacks. Proactive defense strategies focus on early detection within the attack kill chain, leveraging threat hunting tools and predictive analytics to neutralize threats before they escalate. Let’s delve deeper into why shifting from a preventative to a proactive defense strategy is a rational and necessary step for organizations seeking to protect their critical resources and maintain a robust security posture. Understanding Reactive and Proactive Cybersecurity Reactive and proactive cybersecurity are distinct approaches to safeguarding digital assets. Reactive cybersecurity responds to incidents post-occurrence, relying on traditional measures like antivirus software. In contrast, proactive cybersecurity anticipates threats, employing strategies such as threat hunting, continuous monitoring, and risk assessments to address vulnerabilities preemptively. By adopting proactive strategies, organizations stay ahead of emerging threats, ensuring a robust security posture in today's evolving threat landscape. Reactive Cybersecurity Tactics Reactive cybersecurity tactics are measures taken to respond to a security incident or breach after it has...

Discover how Fidelis Elevate’s XDR solution transforms every phase of the incident response lifecycle—reducing dwell time, automating workflows, and strengthening your security posture.

Today’s advanced threats move faster and cost more—average data breach costs exceed $3. 8 million—while defenders struggle under a deluge of siloed alerts and high false-positive rates. This fragmented visibility means breaches often go undetected for months, giving attackers ample time to exfiltrate data, escalate privileges, and inflict major damage. When incidents aren’t spotted quickly, dwell time soars and organizations face skyrocketing response costs and reputational fallout. Manual log gathering across endpoints, networks, and cloud platforms is laborious and error-prone, analysts drown in noise, and critical context—like whether a suspicious login matches known ransomware IPs—is too often missing. Every minute wasted hunting through disparate consoles is a minute attackers can use to dig in deeper. A unified XDR solution like Fidelis Elevate compresses mean time to detection and resolution by bringing visibility, correlation, and automation into one platform. By integrating network, endpoint, cloud, and deception telemetry; automatically correlating related events; and embedding real-time threat intelligence, Elevate transforms the incident response lifecycle from reactive chaos into a streamlined, data-driven workflow. How Can Unified Detection and Analysis Accelerate Your Incident Response? Gaining a single pane of glass across endpoints, networks, and cloud services lets you spot anomalies the moment they emerge—and correlating those events in real time means you’re no longer hunting in the dark. By breaking down tool silos, you empower your team to detect threats faster and with greater precision. 1. Unified Visibility Across Your Environment Effective incident response depends on seeing the earliest evidence of threats across the entire...

Encrypted traffic hides modern threats. Learn how SSL inspection in NDR exposes what firewalls miss—without compromising performance or compliance.

Did you know that more than 90% of web traffic is now encrypted? 1 Encryption makes online security better but creates a major blind spot for security teams. Cybersecurity analysts believe that over 90% of malware can hide in these encrypted channels and bypass traditional security measures. Almost every website today uses HTTPS to encrypt data between a user's browser and the site. This encryption protects legitimate traffic but also hides potential threats. Traditional threat detection methods miss much of this traffic. SSL inspection in NDR (Network Detection and Response) has become vital for organizations to track encrypted traffic. Deep SSL inspection lets security systems decrypt and check encrypted HTTPS traffic immediately. This helps detect and block hidden malicious activities. On top of that, it gives organizations the ability to enforce compliance rules and stop data leaks. Security teams can substantially improve their visibility over encrypted traffic by using deep session inspection in NDR solutions. This makes essential security features like anti-virus scanning and malware detection work much better. Why Is Encrypted Traffic a Security Blind Spot? Organizations face a growing security challenge from encrypted traffic today. Cybercriminals exploit this blind spot more frequently, and network defense teams must understand these mechanisms. Over 90% of Web Traffic is SSL Encrypted The digital world has changed drastically over the last several years. Google's data shows encrypted web traffic grew from 55% in 2017 to about 95% today. 1 Almost all internet communications now flow through secure channels. Cisco's Cognitive Intelligence tells...

Discover effective techniques for detecting ransomware on your network. Learn practical steps to safeguard your data and enhance your security. Read more!

Ransomware attacks are still causing serious financial and reputational damage to organizations. In May 2024, they made up 32% of all reported cyber incidents, and 92% of industries saw them as a major threat. These attacks lock important data and ask organizations for payment to regain access. Even after paying, attackers might have already gone through the whole system and left loopholes for future attacks. In some cases, ransomware hides in a network for a long time before being noticed. That’s why finding it early and taking action is important. Early detection of this malicious software helps secure sensitive data, reduces response time, and prevents organizations from facing financial demands. How Does Ransomware Spread Through a Network? Check the process of how attackers execute ransomware attacks: Entry into Systems Ransomware usually gains initial access by tricking users into installing harmful software. After that, its ransomware payload places malicious code on the victim’s device. Typical Attack Progression The ransomware attack usually follows a series of steps: Infection: The malware enters and takes hold within the system. Encryption: It starts locking or encrypting files, so users can't access them. Communication: The malware contacts its command and control servers to exchange information, coordinate further actions, or send ransom demands. Double Impact of Ransomware Besides encrypting files and changing file extensions to hold them hostage, ransomware may also steal sensitive data before encryption. This stolen data can be used for additional leverage against victims, increasing the threat beyond just file inaccessibility. Worried About Ransomware?...

Boost your defenses with MFA, Zero Trust, ITDR & deception tech. Learn how to defend against credential theft with layered protection strategies.

Credential theft attacks have emerged as the dominant threat vector in 2025, with IBM X-Force observing an 84% increase in emails delivering infostealers in 20241 and credential theft attacks increasing by 703% in the second half2 of 2024. As vulnerability exploitation and credential theft now surpass phishing as the primary initial access methods, organizations must implement comprehensive credential theft prevention strategies to defend against credential-based attacks. This technical guide explores five proven methods to defend against credential theft, providing security teams with actionable frameworks for credential security implementation. 1. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Risk-Based Authentication Multi-factor authentication remains the cornerstone of credential theft protection, significantly reducing the impact of compromised credentials even when primary authentication factors are breached. Best Practices for MFA Implementation Modern MFA implementations require more than traditional two-factor authentication. Two-step verification is a necessary first step but is no longer enough on its own. Effective MFA systems integrate: Risk-Based Authentication Components: Device fingerprinting and behavioral analytics Geolocation analysis and impossible travel detection Session risk scoring based on user patterns Adaptive authentication that adjusts requirements based on threat context Authentication Factor Categories: Knowledge factors (passwords, PINs, security questions) Possession factors (hardware tokens, mobile devices, certificates) Inherence factors (biometrics, behavioral patterns) Time and location-based factors for contextual validation Why Zero Trust Architecture Works for MFA Implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in a Zero Trust Model significantly enhances an organization's security posture by reducing unauthorized access risk and providing robust defense against phishing and credential-based attacks.

What is apex predator in cybersecurity? A look into elite threat actors, their stealth tactics, and how deception technology exposes their hidden movements.

Apex predators in cybersecurity are the top-tier threat actors that most security teams never see coming. These aren't script kiddies or opportunistic ransomware groups. We're talking about nation-state APTs, elite criminal syndicates, and sophisticated actors with unlimited budgets and custom toolkits. What is apex predator behavior in cyber operations? Simple: they operate like real predators. They're patient, they study their prey, and they strike with precision when you least expect it. Groups like APT29 (Cozy Bear), APT28 (Fancy Bear), and Lazarus Group exemplify cyber apex predators. They'll spend 6-12 months mapping your network, harvesting credentials, and positioning themselves before you even know they exist. What Makes These Cyber Predators Different Unlimited resources, Nation-state backing means access to zero-day exploits, dedicated infrastructure, and teams of full-time operators. While you're patching known vulnerabilities, they're exploiting ones that won't be discovered for years. Custom everything, these actors develop custom malware, proprietary exploits, and bespoke C2 infrastructure that your signature-based detection will never recognize. Strategic Patience Advanced persistent threat groups don't rush. They'll maintain access for years, slowly exfiltrating data or positioning for maximum impact. Time is on their side. How Apex Predators Operate Living Off the Land (LOTL) Cyber predators weaponize legitimate administrative tools already present in the environment. This technique makes detection nearly impossible since the tools appear to be used for normal IT operations. MITRE ATT&CK T1059 documents this technique. PowerShell, WMI, and PsExec become reconnaissance and execution tools: # Appears as routine system administration Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Process -ComputerName $target |...

Explore how deception technology boosts IIoT security with early threat detection and protection for critical infrastructure.

Industrial IoT (IIoT) networks are under siege—from ransomware attacks that halt production lines to nation-state actors targeting critical infrastructure. Yet, traditional security measures struggle to keep up with these stealthy and persistent threats. This lack of visibility and proactive detection leaves security teams blind to lateral movement and insider threats lurking within OT environments. That’s where deception technology steps in—offering a proactive, low-friction way to detect and derail attackers inside IIoT environments before real damage occurs. In this blog, we’ll cover why IIoT environments are especially vulnerable to advanced cyber threats and the tactical ways to use deception to defend against them. Why Are Industrial IoT Networks So Vulnerable to Cyber Threats Today? Industrial environments face a convergence of risk: outdated systems, complex infrastructures, and high uptime demands—all of which create unique security blind spots. These networks often can’t afford the downtime traditional tools require, yet attackers have grown more persistent and precise in targeting operational technology (OT). 1. Legacy Systems with Minimal Security Controls Many industrial systems still run on outdated operating systems that lack encryption, authentication, or logging capabilities. Impact: These legacy components often can’t be patched or upgraded, making them easy entry points for attackers. 2. Complex and Fragmented Network Architectures IIoT ecosystems include sensors, control systems, and cloud interfaces, all communicating across mixed protocols and vendors. Impact: This complexity reduces visibility, leading to detection delays and making it difficult to trace threats across IT and OT domains. 3. High Availability Requirements Downtime in manufacturing, utilities, or...

Cloud cyber resiliency means a company can handle cyberattacks and recover fast to keep its cloud services running. It’s about creating systems that expect issues—like attacks, errors, or technical issues—and act quickly to reduce harm. This ability is now very important because businesses depend more and more on cloud systems to run their work. Factors driving this urgency include: Remote work and distributed teams: The shift toward flexible, location-independent workforces has expanded cloud usage and introduced more access points vulnerable to attack. Accelerated software development: Agile methodologies and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines push new features and updates out at breakneck speed, increasing the complexity of maintaining secure environments. Escalating cyber threats: Attackers constantly target cloud systems, with breaches happening every few seconds. Because threats change fast, defenses need to be alert and flexible. Organizations find it hard to keep up with innovation and flexibility while staying secure. Old security methods can slow down cloud use and add expensive delays that hamper growth. This blog shares tips to help businesses build strong cloud security and stay compliant while keeping up with rapid innovation. 5 Practical Tips to Improve Cloud Resilience Tip 1: Connect Business Priorities with Technical Resilience A key part of cloud cyber resiliency is making sure your technology supports the most important business needs.

Explore common vulnerabilities and exposures to enhance your security practices. Learn how to protect your assets effectively.

Cyber threats are becoming more advanced, with attackers creating ways to bypass traditional security. That’s why organizations need a stronger, multi-layered approach to protect their systems. To handle cyber threats effectively, security teams need clear, consistent information. That’s where CVEs help—by making it easier to manage hidden risks. And how can organizations enhance their cybersecurity capabilities with CVE data along with deception technology? Let’s look at this more closely in the article. What Is a CVE and Why Does It Matter? A CVE is a publicly listed security issue detected in software, hardware, or firmware. CVEs are assigned unique CVE IDs, making it easier to identify, track, and address issues. The CVE program, created by MITRE in 1999 and backed by the U. S. Department of Homeland Security, offers a standard way to identify and reference security vulnerabilities. Before CVEs, tools and vendors described the same issues differently, leading to confusion and delays. CVEs fixed this by creating a common language for talking about cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Each CVE record includes: An ID A brief description Links to more information, like vendor advisories or patches This standardization helps security teams, security researchers, vendors, and incident responders stay aligned, reduce confusion, and respond more efficiently. CVEs are more than just labels—they’re a crucial part of global cybersecurity. By making vulnerability information clear and consistent, CVEs help organizations: Prioritize threats Share knowledge Build stronger, more coordinated defenses The Lifecycle of a CVE Steps What Happens Discovery A vulnerability is found through security testing,...

Learn how to prevent lateral movement in enterprise networks with seven effective strategies—covering segmentation, detection, and response with real examples.

Proactive defenses are essential because attackers who breach your perimeter will relentlessly seek to move laterally across your network—compromising additional systems and exfiltrating data under the guise of legitimate traffic. In many cases, adversaries can initiate lateral movement in under two hours and remain undetected for weeks, giving them ample time to escalate privileges, pivot through infrastructure, and quietly embed themselves. By layering network segmentation, identity-based micro segmentation, zero trust access controls, continuous detection, and automated response, you effectively choke off east–west attack paths and reduce dwell time from weeks to minutes. Below, you’ll see why preventing lateral movement in enterprise networks is non-negotiable—and learn seven proven tactics you can apply immediately. Each tactic includes clear steps and the tangible benefits you’ll achieve when executed correctly. Why Preventing Lateral Movement Is Non-Negotiable? 1. Stealthy East–West Attacks Evade Perimeter Tools Attackers commonly exploit legitimate protocols like SMB and RDP, or use built-in OS tools such as PowerShell, to move between systems without raising alarms. These techniques often bypass firewalls, endpoint protection, and other perimeter-based defenses entirely. What does this mean for you: You need granular visibility into internal traffic flows and process behaviors—so you can spot unauthorized SMB sessions or atypical RDP usage in real time, before they result in deeper compromise. 2. Rapid Breakout Times Amplify Damage Today’s adversaries waste no time after gaining initial access. In many cases, they can begin lateral movement in under two hours, exploiting, and escalating within your environment faster than traditional security workflows can...

Strengthen your security with proactive endpoint threat hunting—detect stealthy threats early, reduce dwell time, and accelerate response using Fidelis deep session visibility and automated investigation workflows.

Traditional endpoint defenses that rely solely on signatures and alerts often miss stealthy, livingofftheland attacks—studies indicate that as many as 90% of breaches begin at the endpoint and over twothirds of organizations suffer successful endpoint incursions. When these threats go undetected, they can dwell for months, resulting in data exfiltration, regulatory fines, and lasting reputational damage. Proactive endpoint threat hunting changes the game by applying intelligencedriven hypotheses against rich telemetry to uncover and neutralize hidden adversaries before they strike. In this blog, you will explore why threat hunting is a musthave, and how to transform your security with proactive endpoint threat hunting: uncover stealthy attacks, cut dwell times, and streamline investigations. Why Proactive Endpoint Threat Hunting Cannot Be Overlooked Traditional, signaturebased security stacks are blind to many modern attack tactics, leaving stealthy intruders free to roam your network undetected. Proactive endpoint threat hunting fills these gaps by seeking out hidden adversaries before they can inflict damage. The following four imperatives explain why you can’t afford to skip this critical layer of defense—and exactly what your team will gain when you put hunting at the heart of your security program. Attackers Hide in Plain Sight Modern adversaries rarely deliver a neat, signaturedetectable payload. Instead, they abuse builtin OS tooling—PowerShell scripts, WMIC calls, scheduled tasks—to move laterally and exfiltrate data under the guise of routine processes. Without an active hunt program, these “normal” operations go unquestioned. What It Means for You: You’ll trace every PowerShell invocation or WMIC command back to its...

Discover why traditional security fails to stop attackers inside your network and how Fidelis Deception accelerates breach detection by exposing threats earlier protecting your critical assets with proactive defense.

What if attackers are already inside your network—and you don’t even know it? Traditional security focuses on keeping threats out, but sophisticated attackers no longer wait at the gate. They bypass perimeter defenses, blend into normal traffic, and quietly navigate toward your critical assets—undetected for weeks or even months. Every minute they remain hidden, they gather intelligence, install backdoors, and move closer to breaching your most sensitive data. On average, it takes 277 days to detect a breach—by then, the damage is already done. Fidelis Deception flips the script. It transforms your network from a passive target into an active defense system that detects post-breach activity nine times faster. Instead of reacting after the fact, you expose attackers in real time—drawing them into high-fidelity traps that reveal their intent before they reach anything valuable. Why do Traditional Defenses Fail to Reduce the Attack Surface? Traditional security tools are struggling to keep up with today’s fast, complex, and borderless threat landscape where they fall short and how Fidelis Deception closes the gap. Reason 1# The Insufficiency of Traditional Security Approache Today’s networks stretch across clouds, mobile devices and IoT, with attackers probing every gap faster than ever. Organizations pour resources into perimeter defenses only to watch sophisticated threats slip through unseen. Reliance on signature-based tools leaves zero-day and novel tactics undetected. Delays between vulnerability discovery and patch deployment amplify risk and cost. It fails because: preset rules can’t catch unknown attack methods signature databases lag behind emerging threats siloed tools overlook...

Learn how deception for zero day attacks helps detect and divert hidden threats before they cause damage. Boost your active defense strategy today.

Deception for Zero day attacks has become a crucial strategy as these devastating exploits continue to surge rapidly. These attacks pose extreme danger because they target vulnerabilities unknown to software vendors or the public, which leaves systems defenseless without immediate patches. Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities undetected for extended periods - from days to years. This creates a huge window for attacks before vendors can patch the problems. Standard security tools struggle to catch these sophisticated attacks. They rely on identifying known malicious behavior patterns, which Zero day exploits naturally bypass. Deception technology stands out as a powerful shield against zero-day attacks. Unlike regular security methods, it generates precise alerts without depending on known attack patterns. Organizations can boost their security by combining deception technology with traditional measures. This creates an extra detection layer that works regardless of attack methods. Fidelis Deception® makes use of this approach to help organizations detect and prevent zero-day attacks before serious damage occurs. This piece examines what makes zero-day attacks dangerous, their mechanics, and why deception technology succeeds where other approaches fail. Understanding Zero-Day Attacks and Exploits Zero-day attacks stand out as one of the most dangerous cyber threats in the digital world. Our team at Fidelis Security has seen these stealth attacks bypass traditional security controls. They pose a serious risk to organizations of all types.

Discover how deception enhances asset discovery, maps cyber terrain, and detects threats early across hybrid, cloud, and IoT environments.

Asset discovery and risk mapping represent fundamental components of effective cybersecurity operations. Organizations face significant challenges in maintaining accurate inventories of their IT assets across on-premises, cloud, container, and IoT environments. Deception technology provides technical capabilities that enhance asset discovery while delivering actionable risk intelligence based on adversary behavior. Technical Challenges in Asset Discovery Standard asset discovery methods have specific technical limitations. Scanning-based methods create point-in-time snapshots that miss transient assets, while agent-based approaches cannot detect unmanaged systems. API-based cloud discovery often misses shadow IT implementations, and traditional inventory systems struggle with containerized workloads. Network-based discovery methods may miss dormant or isolated systems. Studies have indicated that asset inventories often underreport actual systems, resulting in significant security blind spots and expanding the attack surface. Cyber Terrain Mapping Technical Framework Cyber terrain mapping involves systematically documenting network topology including subnets, VLANs, and routing infrastructure. It captures communication pathways between systems including protocols and ports, asset identification including hardware, operating systems, and applications, and role classification based on observed communication patterns. The mapping also documents security controls present at network and endpoint levels and integration points between on-premises and cloud environments. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework specifically recommends organizations "identify, prioritize, and focus resources on high-value assets (HVAs) that require increased levels of protection—taking measures commensurate with the risk to such assets. " Deception Technology Technical Implementation Passive Discovery Mechanisms Passive discovery leverages specific technical methods including deep packet inspection of network traffic across all ports and protocols and flow analysis to establish...

Organizations can't run without digital systems and connected technologies in today’s fast-moving world. This digital adoption opens new doors for cyber threats as well. Hackers are becoming more advanced and finding new ways to attack organizations' IT systems to steal sensitive data, disrupt their operations, and harm brand credibility. Hence, cybersecurity is no longer a concern to handle; it has become a mandatory and necessary step companies need to take to protect their digital environment and set boundaries for their internal systems from the perilous external environment. That's where the importance of perimeter security and defense comes in. . Understanding Perimeter Defense Perimeter defense refers to the strategies and solutions used to protect the connecting points of a secure network perimeter from its outer environment. Traditionally, organizations have relied on firewalls and intrusion detection systems for perimeter defense, but rising modern changes like remote work and cloud computing demand a more layered and advanced approach to perimeter defense to protect multiple connecting points in sophisticated environments. Why It Matters Perimeter defense acts as the first layer of protection, filtering out harmful traffic before it reaches your trusted internal network. By acting as a barrier at the gate, it blocks everything from unauthorized access to malware and other malicious attempts. Common risks it helps to protect against include: Hackers trying to break in Malicious software attempting to spread Attackers scanning for weak pointsIt also helps meet data protection rules by controlling who can access data and where it can be sent....

Explore how deception breadcrumbs for endpoint security create proactive defense layers and expose attacker behavior with high-fidelity alerts.

Cyberattacks don’t kick down the front door anymore. They sneak in quietly, move laterally, and wait for the right moment to strike. And as endpoint environments become more distributed and dynamic, relying solely on traditional security layers is no longer enough. Organizations need more than just visibility. They need deception technology. Watch how breadcrumbs trap attackers: Creating Breadcrumbs with Deception Technology That’s where deception breadcrumbs come into play. Planted across endpoints, these artifacts act as strategic traps designed to lure, mislead, and expose attackers before any real damage is done. They aren't just decoys—they're a powerful way to turn your endpoints into a minefield for adversaries. Let’s break down how breadcrumbs make endpoint deception technology smarter, faster, and far more effective. What Are Deception Breadcrumbs? In the context of endpoint deception technology, breadcrumbs are fabricated artifacts that simulate legitimate access paths and credentials. These can include: Fake RDP or SSH session files Registry entries Browser credentials Windows shortcuts Configuration files They are carefully crafted to match the role and behavior of the device they reside on—which is what we call context-aware deception. When an attacker interacts with one of these breadcrumbs, it doesn’t just give away their presence; it also provides security teams with valuable forensic data. This concept is backed by the MITRE Shield framework, which advocates using deception as an active defense tactic. Breadcrumbs serve as the bait that leads attackers into high-interaction decoys where they can be safely observed and contained. How Breadcrumbs Work? Here’s a typical...

Discover practical strategies to prevent social engineering attacks and safeguard your information. Read on to enhance your security awareness today.

Cyber threats aren’t always about complex code or advanced hacking tools. Often, they start with a simple trick—convincing someone to click a link, share a password, or let someone into a secure area. This tactic is called social engineering. Social engineering is when attackers trick people into breaking security rules. Instead of hacking systems, they use lies, pressure, or fake trust to get what they want. These attacks work well because they target human emotions, not technology. As these attacks become more sophisticated and harder to detect, it's more important than ever for organizations to protect themselves. That’s why this blog lays out a practical, 5-step plan to help prevent social engineering attacks. Before that, let’s first explore the common social engineering tactics used by attackers. Common Social Engineering Tactics Most social engineering attacks rely on tricking people rather than breaking into systems with complex tools. Here are some common social engineering tactics, with examples: Tactic What It Is Example Phishing Fake emails or websites that trick people into giving personal info like passwords, allowing attackers to gain access to sensitive accounts. You get an email that looks like it’s from your bank, asking you to log in. The link takes you to a fake site that steals your login details. Vishing Scam calls where someone pretends to be from a trusted group to steal private information. A caller pretends to be from your bank’s fraud team and asks for your account number and PIN.

Explore how deception technology enhances Zero Trust and MITRE Shield by exposing threats early, disrupting attackers, and boosting cyber resilience.

A technical analysis of deception technology’s role in modern cybersecurity frameworks In today’s evolving threat landscape, organizations are increasingly turning to advanced frameworks like Zero Trust and MITRE Shield to strengthen their security posture. Zero trust environments, with their emphasis on identity verification and micro-segmentation, play a crucial role in protecting sensitive data from insider threats and enabling early detection of compromised workstations. While these frameworks provide robust defensive capabilities, adding deception technology creates a more comprehensive security strategy that shifts advantage back to defenders. This technical blog examines how deception technology enhances these frameworks and provides practical implementation guidance. The Limitations of Traditional Security Approaches Traditional perimeter-based security, often referred to as perimeter defenses, operates on the outdated assumption that everything inside the network can be trusted. Once attackers breach that perimeter, they can move laterally with minimal resistance. Zero Trust architecture addresses this by implementing “never trust, always verify” principles, but even this advanced approach has limitations when attackers circumvent controls. Deception Technology: Key Enhancements to Zero Trust Enhanced Continuous Visibility Zero Trust architecture depends on a comprehensive trust model that ensures visibility into the environment. Advanced deception platforms like Fidelis Deception provide automated terrain mapping that continuously discovers, profiles, and assesses assets across hybrid environments. Organizations often uncover previously unknown assets during deception technology deployment, thanks to continuous terrain mapping and automated visibility capabilities. This terrain mapping capability serves as a foundation for both creating convincing deception layers and supporting Zero Trust implementation. High-Fidelity Post-Breach Detection The...

Learn how cyber deception in active defense helps detect threats early, mislead attackers, and strengthen your proactive cybersecurity strategy.

Understanding deception for active defense The cat-and-mouse game of cybersecurity never stops, and cyber deception in active defense gives defenders a powerful edge. Sun Tzu's ancient wisdom "All warfare is based on deception" fits modern cyber defense strategies perfectly. Outsmarting adversaries has become just as crucial as blocking them. What is cyber deception? Cyber deception places decoy assets throughout your network environment to draw attackers away from real systems. Traditional security focuses on stopping attacks. However, deception takes a different path by manipulating attackers' perception. It exploits their psychological vulnerabilities and affects their beliefs, decisions, and actions. Traditional cybersecurity puts defenders at a disadvantage—they must protect everything perfectly while attackers need just one vulnerability. Our Fidelis Deception® solution helps balance this equation by creating decoys that look exactly like production systems. The results have been remarkable. Know more: What is deception in cybersecurity? Why Cyber Deception Is a Strategic Pillar in Active Defense Cyber deception in active defense isn't just about tricking attackers—it’s about reshaping how organizations approach security. Rather than relying solely on reactive controls, deception technologies like honeypots, honeytokens, and moving target defense support proactive cyber defense strategies. These tools not only detect threats but influence attacker behavior, buying time and detect malicious activity. As threats grow more advanced, deception for active defense becomes a necessary layer of resilience—turning the attacker’s advantage into their weakness. By integrating strategic cyber deception into core security operations, defenders shift from being targets to tacticians. How deception fits into active defense Active...

Learn how Fidelis Deep session Inspection improves visibility, threat detection, and contextual awareness across modern enterprise environments.

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) was once the go-to method for monitoring network traffic, but it now struggles to detect today’s evasive, multi-stage cyberattacks that are spread across multiple channels and hidden deep within payloads. Fragmented visibility, surface-level scanning, and a lack of contextual understanding mean that malicious activity often slips through unnoticed, putting security teams constantly on the back foot. By reassembling full sessions, inspecting deeply at every layer, and enabling automated, real-time responses, DSI delivers unmatched precision and clarity. This blog breaks down how Fidelis DSI compares to traditional DPI across core capabilities — so you can see why modern security demands more than just packet inspection. Visibility Gap: Packet vs. Session-Level Understanding Traditional DPI tools inspect network traffic at the packet level. While this approach helps in identifying obvious threats, it often fails to capture context — because it treats each packet in isolation. Malicious content that’s broken into pieces across multiple packets can go undetected. Fidelis Deep Session® Inspection reassembles full network sessions, decoding every byte across the communication chain. This enables analysts to see the entire session in context—from protocol to payload—and detect threats spread across multi-packet flows. For example: A phishing campaign may deliver a malicious file in chunks across a series of packets. Traditional DPI sees harmless fragments. Fidelis Deep Session Inspection® reassembles the entire session, recognizes the file, and flags it before it executes. Traditional DPI Fidelis Deep Session Inspection™ Packet-level inspection only No context across packets Misses fragmented threats Sees isolated data...

Learn how deception for lateral movement detection helps uncover stealthy threats, reduce dwell time, and give your team the upper hand.

Understanding Lateral Movement in Modern Networks Lateral movement plays a crucial role in the attack chain. Cybercriminals guide themselves through networks after they breach the first point of entry. This technique helps threat actors reach further into systems and locate valuable assets. They can accomplish their goals without triggering the usual security alerts. Original Access and Reconnaissance Techniques To prevent lateral movement attacks, it's essential to understand how attackers use the lateral movement technique. Attackers usually start by breaching a single endpoint. They might use phishing campaigns, exploit vulnerabilities in internet-facing applications, or use stolen credentials. The next step involves mapping out the network environment. Attackers use several methods to learn about the network infrastructure: Network discovery tools to spot hosts, servers, and potential targets Analysis of host naming conventions and network hierarchies Examination of operating systems and security controls Built-in system utilities help adversaries stay hidden. To name just one example, commands like Netstat show current network connections, while IPConfig gives access to network configuration details. On top of that, PowerShell lets attackers quickly spot network systems where the compromised user has local admin access. These legitimate tools help blend attack activities with normal network operations. Credential Theft and Privilege Escalation Network mapping leads attackers to their next target: valid login credentials. Their sophisticated theft techniques include: Pass-the-Hash attacks work around standard authentication. They capture valid password hashes without needing the actual password. Pass-the-Ticket methods use stolen Kerberos tickets for authentication. Tools like Mimikatz pull cached passwords or authentication...

Understand your cyber terrain, detect threats faster, and stay proactive with Fidelis Elevate®’s terrain-based defense approach.

Effective cybersecurity begins with knowing what you're defending. Organizations investing heavily in security tools often miss something fundamental: a comprehensive understanding of their own environment. This critical gap creates significant risk exposure that sophisticated attackers readily exploit. This article explores cyber terrain mapping; its importance, technical requirements, and how Fidelis Elevate® addresses this essential security challenge. The Cyber Terrain Challenge When adversaries target an enterprise, their first objective is to map the environment. They systematically discover assets, learn each asset's role, identify operating systems, document communication paths, catalog installed software, and find vulnerabilities. An adversary's ability to get in, lurk undetected, and study your environment directly impacts how well they can exploit your business. Meanwhile, many enterprise security teams lack this same comprehensive understanding of their own terrain. According to Fidelis Security documentation: Often, enterprise security teams don't fully understand the terrain that they're trying to defend. This is especially true in modern, dynamic, and distributed hybrid-and multi-cloud environments. Instead, they rely on static network drawings and periodic asset inventories. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework emphasizes that organizations must identify, prioritize, and focus resources on the organization's high value assets (HVA) that require increased levels of protection, taking measures commensurate with the risk to such assets. Without thorough terrain mapping, this prioritization becomes practically impossible. Modern Security Perimeters Are Constantly Evolving Today's cybersecurity perimeter is no longer static; it changes constantly as new cloud services are added and removed. The security perimeter is now dynamic — changing constantly as new cloud...

It doesn’t matter which industry you belong to; cybersecurity is one of the most important factors you should always be cautious about. When it comes to government agencies, the stakes are even higher! Government agencies are prime targets for cybercriminals, including state-sponsored actors and APT groups. These APT attackers often utilize Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), which are designed to infiltrate target networks and gain access to sensitive data over extended periods. Therefore, understanding APT patterns is crucial for governments to defend effectively against these persistent threats. The Heightened Risk for Government Agencies: Why Cybersecurity is Critical Government agencies handle sensitive data, such as: Personal citizen information National security intelligence Law enforcement data Government operations and policies Research and development data, etc Compromise of these systems by threats like APTs can lead to serious issues. An APT could: Put public safety at risk. Endanger national security. Damage citizens' trust in government agencies. What are Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)? An Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a highly sophisticated and persistent cyberattack. APTs are usually carried out by: Well-resourced and organized cybercriminal groups.

Stop privilege escalation attacks by adopting proactive security measures like PAM, RBAC, patching, and behavior analytics in your defense strategy.

This blog covers five strategies that work to prevent privilege escalation and protect your organization's critical assets. You'll learn about ways to improve your security - from better authentication protocols to securing Active Directory. We'll show you useful steps to lift your security stance against these ongoing threats using advanced monitoring tools like Fidelis Elevate® XDR platform. Understanding Privilege Escalation Attacks Cybercriminals use privilege escalation attacks to steadily increase their access within your systems. This critical phase in the cyber attack chain lets threat actors move from their first entry point to deeper network access where they can wreak havoc. What is privilege escalation? A privilege escalation happens when attackers get higher-level access or permissions than they had during their first system breach. This security exploit gives cybercriminals more control over your network. They can access sensitive data and perform unauthorized actions they couldn't do before. The privilege escalation process usually happens in three main stages: Infiltration: Attackers break in through weak spots like phishing emails, weak credentials, or software vulnerabilities Exploitation: They find system vulnerabilities to bypass security and increase access once inside Exfiltration: With their new privileges, they can change settings, steal data, or set up long-term access Successful privilege escalation attacks do more than just steal data. Your organization faces unauthorized access to sensitive information, compromised identities, system manipulation, disrupted operations, data tampering, regulatory fines, and reputation damage. Attackers who get admin access can even erase their tracks by deleting logs, making it very hard to trace...

Discover how automated detection and remediation strategies, can significantly reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) in incident response.

Security teams now handle up to two million alerts daily, and the time it takes to resolve threats—MTTR—can directly affect business resilience. Cloud-based Extended Detection and Response (XDR) systems address these challenges by streamlining the entire process—from detection to automated remediation. By harnessing cloud-native architectures and response automation, organizations can detect threats faster and cut resolution times significantly. This blog examines how integrating automated incident response with Cloud XDR reduces MTTR and empowers security teams to manage complex multi-cloud environments effectively. "XDR de-couples the storage of security-relevant data from the threat detection, investigation, and response functions. XDR is meant to fill the gap where a lot of SIEMs are just too rooted in log collection (for storage), compliance, and traditional correlation rules to be that effective at preventing a successful breach. " Gurucul, Unified security and risk analytics technology provider Building Faster Cloud XDR Systems with Integration and Data Management Integration Points with Cloud Service Providers: Cloud XDR needs to blend with major cloud service providers. These connections help monitor cloud-specific security events and control planes better. XDR must coordinate responses across AWS, Azure, and GCP for multi-cloud environments. The integrations should also work with cloud-specific security controls while keeping protection policies consistent. Data Collection and Normalization Pipeline: Security data comes in many forms, which makes normalization crucial. The data collection pipeline gathers information from multiple security layers and converts this data into a standard format. This process gives consistent labels to usernames, IP addresses, roles, and processes across different...

Discover practical strategies for effective data transfer monitoring using DLP. Enhance your security measures and protect sensitive information. Read more!

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools are crucial for protecting sensitive information as it moves within and outside an organization. They help prevent data leaks and unauthorized access by allowing organizations to monitor, control, and respond to potential data transfer risks. In this article, let’s learn more about how DLP tools play a vital role in secure data transfers. What is DLP? DLP is a technology that helps protect sensitive information from being accidentally or intentionally shared with the wrong people. In simple terms, DLP acts like a security guard for your data, and watches how data is used, moved, or shared inside your company or going outside, and stops anything risky from happening. For example, if someone tries to email a file that contains credit card numbers or personal data, DLP can block it.

Discover real threat detection with our step-by-step guide. Learn how Fidelis Security powers smarter, faster threat identification and response.

In today’s threat landscape, the question is no longer “Will we be attacked? ” but “How fast can we detect and respond when it happens? ” The unfortunate reality is that many organizations struggle to detect threats in time—often because their tools operate in silos, their teams are overloaded with false positives, and they lack the necessary context to act swiftly and accurately. This is where a unified, intelligence-driven detection strategy becomes critical. In this guide, we’ll walk through the key building blocks of real-world threat detection—and how each one, if not handled properly, can open dangerous gaps. For each step, you’ll also see how Fidelis Security, through its integrated platform, helps close those gaps and empower security teams to stay ahead of threats. Why Threat Detection Fails Without Unified Visibility—And How Fidelis Fixes It You can't defend what you can't see. When organizations use a mix of disconnected tools—one for endpoint, another for network, another for cloud—the result is a fragmented view of their threat landscape. This not only increases the chance of missing coordinated attacks but also slows down investigation and response due to a lack of shared context. Fidelis Elevate solves this by unifying telemetry from endpoint, network, cloud, and deception layers into one correlated platform. Instead of switching between tools and piecing together fragmented data, analysts get a full-spectrum, contextualized view of threats—ready to act on.

Discover enterprise data loss prevention best practices to protect sensitive data, reduce risk, and build a resilient cybersecurity strategy in 2025.

Cybersecurity Insiders' Insider Threat Report 2023 states that 74% of organizations are moderately or more vulnerable to insider threats, which demonstrates why organizations need resilient data loss prevention strategies. Your organization needs strong access controls and detailed monitoring systems to protect sensitive information effectively. This piece outlines 10 proven enterprise data loss prevention best practices that will help protect your organization's critical data through 2025 and beyond. 1. Secure Data from the Moment It’s Created Enterprise data loss prevention starts at the source—when information is first created. Tackling security early reduces risk and simplifies protection. Classification at creation is key: users should label documents as Public, Internal, Confidential, or Restricted. This sets clear expectations and allows DLP policies to respond appropriately. Apply classification at the point of creation Organizations that follow enterprise data loss prevention best practices need a simple yet complete classification system to categorize data based on its sensitivity and handling needs. This system might include: Public: Information that's okay to share freely Internal: Content just for employees Confidential: Sensitive information needing special care Restricted: Highly sensitive data with strict access controls Tag sensitive data automatically Manual classification, while essential, can leave gaps. Users may forget or mislabel sensitive content. That’s why automatic tagging is crucial. It scans for patterns like credit card numbers or health data and applies security tags automatically. This maintains consistent protection, regardless of the team or document creator. It also ensures accountability and makes DLP for enterprise more responsive. By combining mandatory classification...

Discover how to break the cyber attack lifecycle with a step-by-step defense strategy. Learn proactive tactics to detect, disrupt, and prevent cyber threats before they cause damage.

The numbers are startling - organizations typically need 197 days to spot a cyber attack and another 69 days to contain it. This leaves systems vulnerable for more than eight months. The financial impact keeps growing. A typical cyber attack now costs organizations $4. 45 million in damages - a 15% increase in the last three years. But there's good news: cybersecurity works like asymmetric warfare. Defenders can stop an entire attack by breaking just one link in the attack chain. Organizations need to understand the cyber attack lifecycle. Only when we are willing to learn about attackers' tactics, techniques, and procedures at each stage can we build better defenses against these threats. In this piece, we'll explore the six stages of the cyber attack lifecycle and show you practical strategies to stop attacks at every step.

Discover why automated incident response is critical in modern cyber defense and how Fidelis Elevate accelerates threat detection, response, and resolution with advanced automation capabilities.

Breach speed is rising. Attackers are growing more evasive. And the reality is clear—manual incident response can no longer keep pace. Security teams are overwhelmed by alerts, context-switching, and delayed visibility. The time it takes to investigate, triage, and respond can leave critical gaps for attackers to exploit. This blog cuts through the noise and gets straight to the point: why automation is the foundation of modern incident response and how Fidelis Elevate empowers your SOC to take charge—faster, smarter, and at scale. Why Automation is Essential for Modern Incident Response Faster Threat Mitigation Saves Critical Time When attackers infiltrate a system, every minute counts. Security teams often scramble to piece together what’s happening while threats move laterally and escalate privileges. Delays in detection and manual remediation often translate into longer attacker dwell time and greater impact. Fidelis Elevate significantly reduces this lag. For example, if malware attempts to cover its tracks by disabling the Event Viewer, security teams can write a remediation script within minutes—automatically re-enabling it every time it’s turned off. Once validated, this action can be set to run automatically, allowing analysts to shift focus to broader containment and analysis. SOC Teams Struggle with Alert Overload and Burnout Traditional incident response relies heavily on human analysis of hundreds—sometimes thousands—of alerts daily. This constant flood of signals not only increases fatigue but also heightens the risk of missing real threats buried in the noise. Fidelis Elevate addresses this challenge through smart correlation across network and endpoint telemetry. It...

Discover real-time IOC detection and response strategies to reduce dwell time, contain threats faster, and protect your critical enterprise assets.

Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) act as digital forensic breadcrumbs that point to data breaches. IoCs help identify malicious activity, but traditional detection methods mostly react to incidents after they occur. A compromise likely happens before anyone spots an indicator. Organizations need immediate detection capabilities to minimize damage and contain security threats before they grow. This piece will share proven strategies for quick threat containment. We'll get into the challenges of traditional indicators of compromise (IOC) detection methods and show how organizations can build incident response frameworks that cut down detection and containment times. What are Indicators of Compromise? Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) serve as forensic breadcrumbs that security professionals use to identify potential security breaches in networks or systems. These digital clues help us track malicious activity and understand cyber-attack patterns during threat hunting. Common Indicators of Compromise include: Malicious domain names and IP addresses Suspicious registry changes Suspicious file hashes Anomalous network traffic patterns Monitoring these indicators enables early detection of threats, allowing for swift response and mitigation. Types of IOCs: File-based IOCs: File hashes, registry key changes, and unauthorized scripts. Network-based IOCs: Outbound traffic to command-and-control servers, unusual DNS requests. Behavioral IOCs: Unusual login attempts, multiple failed login attempts, spikes in database reads, or remote access request from odd geolocations. Behavioral indicators of compromise (IOC) offer strong early-warning signs. Unlike static indicators, they’re harder for attackers to disguise, making them essential for real-time detection. Security teams should also monitor for unexpected HTML response sizes, suspicious processes, and network...

Explore practical strategies for mastering deception in XDR to strengthen your cyber defense. Read the article to enhance your security measures today.

Let’s face it – cybersecurity in 2025 is a mess. Bad guys keep slipping past our defenses like they’ve got the keys to the front door, and security teams are working overtime just to keep up. In this crazy environment, deception technology has become something of a secret weapon, especially when it’s built into XDR platforms. It plays a crucial role in a comprehensive cyber defense strategy by utilizing decoys and lures to detect and mitigate cyber threats, thereby enhancing overall security. From Perimeter Defense to Active Threat Hunting: The Evolution to XDR in a Comprehensive Cyber Defense Strategy Remember when we believed a strong firewall was all we needed for security? Those days are LONG gone. We’ve had to ditch that whole “build a big wall” security approach because it just doesn’t work anymore. Today, any seasoned security professional understands that breaches aren’t a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when. ’ That reality check is basically what pushed XDR into existence. It evolved from EDR by expanding the view beyond endpoints. Instead of just watching computers, we’re now keeping tabs on networks, cloud environment, email systems – basically anywhere attackers might be lurking. XDR pulls together all this scattered data from different security tools, giving teams one place to see everything and respond quickly. But here’s the problem – even the fanciest XDR tools struggle against attackers who know how to stay quiet and move slow. That blind spot? That’s where deception technology proves invaluable, enhancing XDR in a way...

Legacy SOCs are failing to keep pace with the speed of today's threats and evolving attack complexity. The issues of alert fatigue, segmented visibility, and slow response rates are making businesses vulnerable and running up operating expenditures. XDR is beginning to emerge as an innovative answer to these challenges—and one that aligns threat detection, investigation, and response functions across disparate layers of security. By delivering comprehensive visibility, intelligent automation, and faster response, XDR empowers security teams to stay ahead of advanced threats. In this blog, we’ll explore how XDR addresses the key limitations of traditional SOCs and transforms their performance with next-generation capabilities. The Limitations of Traditional SOCs and Why They Need XDR SOCs, or Security Operation Centers, are the bone and stalk of an organization while carrying out a cyber-attack. But then, as threats grow into sophisticated recursions, the SOCs have begun losing their effectiveness against them; the central snag is the legacy systems still fragmented into segregated tools like SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), and so forth. Common Pain Points of Traditional SOCs Alert Fatigue Legacy SOCs produce enormous volumes of alerts every day, most of which are false positives. This alert flood leads to alert fatigue, where security analysts cannot distinguish between significant threats and noise. Thus, important alerts can be ignored or get slow responses. Fragmented Visibility With data spread out on endpoints, networks, clouds, and applications, traditional SOCs tend to lack visibility. Security teams are left to manually correlate...

Deception vs. traditional threat detection: A detailed comparison of proactive deception technology and traditional security for enhanced cybersecurity.

Trapping attackers and catching them red-handed before they even enter your network is the ultimate defense strategy. There is no doubt that traditional security systems are efficient in handling threats—but known threats! What if the attacker finds a new and unimaginable way to intrude into your network? This is where we need deception technology! Let's go through both methods and find the differences in detail. Traditional Security Measures Check the main traditional threat detection technologies companies use. Security Measure Features Firewalls Filters incoming and outgoing traffic based on security rules. Blocks known threats and prevents unauthorized access. Antivirus and Antimalware Software Scans files and programs for known malicious signatures. Helps prevent common and known malware. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) Monitors network traffic for malicious activity and prevent intrusions. Detects known attack patterns and monitors network traffic in real time. Encryption Manages and verifies who can access what in the network. Prevents unauthorized access based on role and permissions. Overall, traditional systems work more like a 'Closed' sign on a storefront: once it's up, the threat is stopped immediately. But when you detect the threat and catch the attacker, they change their tactics and find a different way to intrude. Skilled attackers may simply change their IP address and try again. Handling such clever attackers requires advanced technology. This is where deception technology comes into play. What Is Deception Technology? Deception technology involves intentionally misleading attackers by creating false appearances or resources that attract and trap them. The concept...

Zero-day threats pose a serious challenge to enterprises as it becomes difficult to detect and mitigate an attack which is unknown.

Within the cybersecurity landscape, zero-day vulnerabilities have become a significant threat to companies, especially bigger enterprises. It is a form of cyberattack in which a security flaw that is undiscovered by the organization is exploited by attackers. Zero-day threats pose a serious challenge to enterprises as it becomes difficult to detect and mitigate an attack which is unknown. These threats exploit vulnerabilities or flaws in software, hardware, or firmware that are not yet known to the vendor or the manufacturer. They leave organizations vulnerable because the vendor has not had the chance to fix the vulnerability yet. Why Should Zero-Day Attacks Be a Top Priority? Zero-Day attacks are considered dangerous because the developer has had ‘zero-days' to respond to the attack. Discovering zero-day attacks can be challenging because these flaws are unknown until they are identified through detection strategies. These attacks often target large organizations, government departments, IoT systems, and users having access to valuable business data. Here are some of the risks that can have devastating consequences on enterprises and individuals: Data theft Attackers may use zero-day attacks to gain access to sensitive information, such as personally identifiable information (PII), financial records, medical records, and intellectual property (IP). Operations disruption Zero-day attacks can severely disrupt essential operations of an organization leading to operational downtime.

Discover why is EDR not enough and how XDR provides comprehensive threat detection, advanced analytics, and unified security across multiple layers.

Various studies reveal a startling fact: endpoint devices are the source of 90% of successful cyber-attacks and 70% of data breaches1. These numbers emphasize why modern cybersecurity strategies must carefully weigh the choice between XDR vs EDR. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) has served as the life-blood of security frameworks. However, while traditional EDR systems concentrate on endpoint security alone, extended detection and response (XDR) delivers a unified view of threat data across multiple security layers. This shows that XDR works better at identifying and responding to sophisticated cyber threats. The following sections will explore these security approaches and help determine which solution best fits your organization's needs. Understanding XDR vs EDR Fundamentals The main difference between EDR and XDR comes down to how they approach cybersecurity architecture. Let's take a closer look at these technologies to understand their roles in modern security frameworks. What is EDR? EDR is an integrated security solution that monitors and analyzes endpoint device data in real-time. EDR works with an "assume breach" mindset and uses high-end automation to react quickly to threats. The system puts software agents on endpoints to capture important data and sends it to a central repository to analyze. EDR shines in its constant monitoring of endpoint activities and automated responses based on rules. EDR solutions use signature-based endpoint detection, behavioral analysis, and machine learning algorithms to spot potential threats.

DNS tunnels can be detected through payload and traffic analysis by monitoring query structures, frequency, and anomalies. Learn how to stop hidden threats.

DNS is the backbone of the internet, translating domain names into IP addresses to facilitate communication between devices. However, cybercriminals exploit DNS to create covert channels for data exfiltration and command-and-control (C2) operations using DNS tunneling. This technique allows attackers to bypass security measures by disguising malicious traffic as legitimate DNS queries. As DNS-based attacks continue to rise, securing DNS traffic has become a priority for organizations worldwide What is a DNS Tunneling Attack? A DNS tunneling attack manipulates DNS queries and responses to encode and transmit data between a compromised system and an attacker’s server. Since DNS traffic is often permitted through firewalls without inspection, attackers use it to bypass security controls and establish secret communication channels. How DNS Tunneling Works DNS Tunneling Detection Techniques Detecting DNS tunneling is critical for preventing data exfiltration and command-and-control (C2) communication by attackers. Based on the research from GIAC’s Gold Certification Paper on DNS tunneling detection, two primary methods stand out: payload analysis and traffic analysis. These techniques can help organizations identify and mitigate covert DNS tunnels by scrutinizing DNS query structures, volumes, and behaviors. 1. Payload Analysis: Examining DNS Query Structures Payload analysis involves inspecting individual DNS requests for anomalies that could indicate tunneling. Key Indicators: Query Length: DNS tunneling often involves excessively long domain names, sometimes reaching the maximum limit of 255 characters. Attackers encode data in subdomains to avoid detection. Character Composition & Entropy: DNS requests generated for tunneling typically exhibit high entropy, meaning they contain random-looking sequences that...

What is Digital Forensics Methodology? Digital forensics methodology is a scientific approach that uncovers and interprets electronic data while you retain control of its integrity for legal proceedings. This systematic process of digital forensics helps reconstruct criminal events with scientific precision by identifying, collecting, and analyzing digital information. The methodology follows a well-laid-out framework that confirms evidence authenticity and admissibility in court. Specialized techniques extract data from digital sources of all types, including computers, mobile devices, and network systems. Several critical components work together to create a strong investigative process. Investigators first identify potential evidence sources and secure them against tampering. The preservation phase creates exact bit-by-bit copies of original data, known as digital forensics images. Digital forensics stands out because it knows how to track digital footprints - the information trail users leave behind. These include webpage visits, activity timestamps, and device identifiers. Forensic investigators tap into hidden data through techniques like reverse steganography and file carving. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) have created standardized guidelines for digital evidence handling. These standards emphasize: You retain control through proper chain of custody documentation You use validated tools and scientific methods Your forensic processes must be repeatable You create detailed examination reports The methodology excels at modern challenges, though cloud environments don't deal very well with unique complexities. Cloud data that spans multiple locations and jurisdictions makes establishing a proper chain of custody more intricate. Our experience at Fidelis Security shows that successful digital forensics...

Discover how automated tools, machine learning, and dynamic network topology visualization are revolutionizing network troubleshooting, making processes faster, more efficient, and reliable.

Network troubleshooting was always a crucial but intimidating element of guaranteeing error-free connection and operational proficiency. Packet Captures (PCAPs) are the go-to standard solution for diagnosing connectivity problems, locating network impediments, and uncovering ultimate causes of failure. As strong as PCAPs are, however, traditional manual methods for deciphering them are limited to built-in faults. With the growing complexity of modern-day networks through innovations in virtualization, cloud computing, IoT devices, and SDN, time-tested troubleshooting techniques lose their usefulness. Fortunately, new innovations in automation, machine learning, and interactive visualization platforms are filling in those gaps, flipping the concept of network performance and reliability on its head. This blog explains the limitations of traditional PCAP-based troubleshooting, the benefits of automation, and how advanced tools are shaping the future of network management. What Are the Limitations of Packet Captures? Packet Captures (PCAPs) are still essential in network debugging. Yet, their analysis is a time-consuming, resource-intensive task, particularly for organizations with key performance metrics such as Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) under ongoing pressure. Resource-Intensive Processes Manual PCAP analysis involves wading through a mountain of packet data to determine the root cause of problems. It takes considerable time and effort, sometimes taking skilled network engineers away from more valuable tasks. Redundant Efforts and Time Constraints Random network failures or slow performance tend to require instant resolution. The use of manual means alone incurs extended resolution times, exacerbating downtime risk and potentially affecting service-level agreements (SLAs).

Organizations want to stay on top of cyber threats and detect them even before they occur. To do this, they need to detect threats and anomalies in their networks as quickly as possible. This is what we call threat hunting. It is a tool to help organizations constantly monitor their networks to detect and mitigate threats to keep them at a distance. Today, proactive threat hunting has become a necessary tool for modern enterprises to keep themselves protected against adversaries that might otherwise go unnoticed. Beyond this, threat hunting also helps them find malicious activities as well as identify activities that might not be malicious but can be a threat to their overall security posture. Data in Threat Hunting A significant part of the threat hunting process is collecting and analyzing. It involves constantly analyzing data related to activities and movements in the network. This includes checking logs from servers, network devices, endpoints, and several other data points. Once this data is collected: 1. The security team conducts thorough interpretation and analysis to determine forming patterns and trends. 2. Using the data, they can find the 'who', 'what', 'where', 'when', and 'why' of any anomaly detected. 3. This also helps them gain enhanced visibility of the network as well as remove any threat such as malware that has penetrated without raising any alarm. 4. Significantly reduces the risk of a successful cyberattack. While investigating data is important, enterprises also need metadata for proactive threat hunting. Metadata can play a critical...

Learn how to detect and stop Command and Control (C2) attacks with the latest statistics and real-world examples.

To defeat the enemy, you must first disarm their ability to communicate. Command and Control (C2) attacks remain one of the most persistent cybersecurity threats, enabling adversaries to communicate with compromised systems undetected. Attackers use C2 servers to send commands, exfiltrate data, and maintain long-term access to networks. These stealthy techniques allow them to deploy ransomware, steal sensitive information, and even conduct cyber espionage. C2 attacks are getting sophisticated, often utilizing encrypted traffic and trusted cloud services like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive to avoid detection. According to IBM’s X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2024, threat groups increasingly utilized C2 infrastructures, with campaigns like Hive0051 conducting over 1,000 active infections in just 24 hours through sophisticated DNS fluxing techniques. This underscores the urgency for organizations to detect and neutralize these infrastructures before attackers gain full control. How Do You Detect Command and Control Traffic? Detecting C2 traffic requires a multi-layered approach combining behavioral analytics, real-time network monitoring, and the identification of network anomalies. Detecting communication between command-and-control servers and compromised hosts is crucial for identifying these attacks. Here are the most effective detection strategies: 1. Anomalous Network Traffic Analysis C2 malware often exhibits distinct network behaviors that deviate from normal traffic patterns. Security teams should look for: Beaconing Patterns: C2 malware frequently “checks in” with its command server at predictable intervals. This was a key indicator in identifying the SolarWinds attack, where compromised systems pinged attacker-controlled infrastructure at regular intervals. Beaconing patterns can indicate a compromised host communicating with a command-and-control...

Discover how using metadata for incident response strengthens your security strategy by enabling faster threat detection and more efficient network defense.

Effective incident response is a top priority for organizations to minimize the impact of cyber threats. Quick detection and response to attacks or threats are crucial for securing the network and the organization’s overall cybersecurity posture. Incident response planning typically includes identifying, investigating, containing, eradicating, recovering, and analyzing the attack to prevent future breaches. The response times directly affect how swiftly and effectively a breach can be mitigated. Traditionally, PCAP (Packet Capture) methods collect all network packets for threat analysis, providing detailed insights into network traffic. However, they can be resource-intensive, may miss encrypted traffic, and require significant storage space, making it difficult for security teams to efficiently filter through large amounts of data. This delays the response and can worsen the threat's aftereffects, much like how delayed treatment can worsen a medical condition. To address these challenges, the most effective approach for quick threat detection and implementing security measures is to use metadata-driven security analytics solutions. These solutions track data transfers, communications, and overall network activities, enabling faster detection and more efficient incident response. What is Network Metadata?

Learn how Deep Session Inspection (DSI) enhances threat detection by analyzing full communication sessions for improved security and faster responses.

Deep Session Inspection (DSI) is like having a security guard who watches the entire conversation between two people, instead of focusing on just a few sentences or words. Let’s see how! Traditional Threat Detection Traditional network monitoring and threat detection methods, such as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), examine individual data packets. However, these methods are limited in their data processing, as they are analyzing packets separately without considering the full context of the communication. While this approach helps detect errors or threats in individual packets, it may overlook threats that unfold over time or across multiple steps. Network administrators and security teams often rely on these traditional methods, but they may struggle to detect advanced, multi-step attacks. What is Deep Session Inspection (DSI)? DSI looks at the entire data stream and communication session between two endpoints. This makes it more effective at identifying threats like malware and data breaches. Its reach extends across network choke points, proxied traffic, email systems, and internal data centre access points, delivering a strong defense against attacks. Unlike traditional intrusion detection systems, which primarily focus on packet-by-packet analysis, DSI inspects full communication sessions, providing a deeper level of threat detection. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=gMvCyHFfu5Y Watch the full on-demand webinar to explore how Fidelis Network elevates your network security with complete visibility and control.

Deception technology enables firms to detect insider threats early and mitigate risks before they cause damage. Cyber deception enhances security resilience.

"The greatest information security threat is not from the professional social engineer, nor from the skilled computer intruder, but from someone much closer: the just-fired employee seeking revenge or hoping to set himself up in business using information stolen from the company. " The Art of Deception technology by Kevin D. Mitnick Along with other cyberthreats, insider threats are one of the biggest dangers affecting enterprises today. Disgruntled employees, accidental data leaks, or compromised insiders can all cause serious harm, involving monetary losses, operational interruptions, and damage to one's reputation. According to the 2024 IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, insider-related incidents cost USD 4. 99M on average. Deception technology is an essential tool for insider threat defense because traditional security solutions struggle to identify and effectively neutralize insider threats. What Is an Insider Threat? Any risk posed to an organization by people who have authorized access to its networks, systems, or data but who, whether on purpose or accidentally, abuse this access to jeopardize security, disrupt operations, or steal confidential information is known as an insider threat. Because these threats come from trusted users who often have elevated permissions and in-depth knowledge of internal procedures and security restrictions, they are particularly considered dangerous. Risks posed by employees or contractors with authorized access are examples of potential insider threats. Insider threats fall into three primary categories 1. Malicious Insiders For their own benefit, retaliation, or other malicious reasons, these people purposefully do harm to the organization. Disgruntled employees,...

Reduce cyber dwell time with XDR security. Learn 5 strategies to detect threats faster, automate response, and enhance security efficiency.

Why Is Dwell Time a Critical Security Risk? Cyber adversaries operate with one goal in mind—stealth. The longer they go undetected in an environment, the more damage they can cause. Dwell time is the total amount of time that a threat remains unnoticed in a system, from initial compromise to discovery. According to the most recent threat reports, the average dwell time for undetected breaches has reduced but remains at 10-15 days, providing attackers enough time to exfiltrate data, launch ransomware, or establish persistent access. Reducing dwell time can boost customer satisfaction by ensuring faster threat identification and response. Organizations require Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions to counter this. XDR security unifies threat detection, incident response, and analytics across many security layers, significantly lowering dwell time and breach damage. What’s the Impact of Dwell Time? Dwell time is one of the most powerful security metrics - the more time an attacker can dwell within one of your systems undetected, the more damage they can do. Having longer dwell times can negatively impact in many areas including data security, financial issues, operational efficiency and brand reputation. 1. Increased Risk of Data Breaches Longer dwell times give attackers more opportunities to exfiltrate sensitive data, including customer records, intellectual property, and financial information. Threat actors often leverage prolonged access to: Steal credentials to move laterally across the network. Extract confidential business data for resale on the dark web or ransom. Modify or delete critical files, leading to data loss and operational disruptions....

Learn how signature-based detection works in cybersecurity, from endpoint protection to network traffic monitoring and email security. Discover its use cases, examples, and impact in identifying known threats effectively.

Nearly 90% of cyberattacks are known methods that proper systems can detect, but most organizations don't have the best defenses. Signature-based detection is a vital aspect of cybersecurity. It offers some benefits but also has some drawbacks. This blog will break it down simply to help you strengthen your defenses against new threats. What is Signature-Based Detection? Signature-based detection is one of the most widely used techniques in cybersecurity. At its core, it’s a method that identifies threats by looking for known patterns, or "signatures," in data or system activity. These signatures are predefined and stored in a database, making it easy for detection systems to compare incoming data against them. Why it Matters: Signature-based detection works as if it is a security system checking incoming data against a known threat pattern. Suppose an organization received a phishing email, where the malicious attachment of the email has a certain unique code that had been noticed during previous attacks. The system will detect that code, thereby marking the email immediately as a bad one, hence blocking its reception. This approach ensures fast identification and containment of such threats based on established signatures, making it an essential layer in cybersecurity. How Does Signature-Based Detection Work: Step-by-step breakdown Step 1. Signature Generation: When a new threat, such as a virus or malware, is identified, researchers study its behavior and generate a unique fingerprint, or signature. This could be a specific code pattern or a sequence of actions it performs. Step 2. Signature Database:...

Discover how to uncover hidden serverless risks, implement core hardening, and integrate security into workflows for resilient, cost-effective serverless deployments.

When you shift to serverless, it feels like infrastructure worries vanish—but unseen functions can harbor hidden risks. Forgotten endpoints, unchecked triggers, or overly broad permissions may silently expose data or inflate your bill, and you might not realize until it’s too late. Suppose you wake to a surprise invoice after a bot swarm hammered an unprotected endpoint overnight, or discovering a misconfigured function leaked sensitive information because its trigger was left open. Without clear visibility and guardrails, small oversights can cascade into major incidents, eroding trust in your serverless deployments and draining resources to investigate and fix. By adopting a focused serverless security approach—starting with visibility into deployed functions, embedding core hardening practices, and integrating checks into your workflows—you catch issues early and prevent surprises. A phased, iterative strategy helps you balance agility with protection, so you can leverage serverless benefits confidently. How can you uncover hidden serverless risks? When functions appear and disappear on demand, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s running and how it’s accessed. Overlooking a stray test endpoint or an unchecked trigger can let data slip or cause unexpected costs. Tracking deployed functions If you haven’t kept an updated list of all functions, you might discover later that a leftover function is publicly accessible. For example, a debug function meant for internal testing could quietly accept external requests. To avoid surprises, periodically query your environment (via provider APIs or simple scripts) to list active functions and note their triggers. You don’t need a formal registry...

Discover how Metadata, PCAP & NetFlow differ in data granularity, storage, and threat detection. Learn best practices for a robust network defense.

When it comes to network analysis and security, metadata, PCAP, and NetFlow each serve critical yet distinct roles. Metadata captures essential communication details—source and destination IPs, ports, protocols, session durations—providing lightweight, real-time visibility. PCAP records complete packets (headers plus payloads), enabling deep packet inspection and forensic reconstruction. NetFlow sits in between: it aggregates flow records from network devices, summarizing conversation characteristics such as start and end times, byte and packet counts, protocol usage, and interface information. In this article, we’ll explore each technology in depth, compare their strengths and limitations, and provide best practices for integrating all three into a unified network security strategy. What Is Network Metadata? Network metadata consists of high-level summaries of all network communications. Each metadata record includes attributes such as: Source and destination IP addresses and ports Protocol identifiers (e. g. , TCP, UDP, ICMP) Session start and end timestamps Total bytes and packets transferred Optional metrics like TCP flag counts or application-level identifiers Because metadata omits payload content, it remains lightweight—typically under 100 bytes per record—enabling continuous, real-time ingestion into SIEMs, NDR platforms, or cloud-based analytics. Organizations leverage metadata for 24×7 monitoring, automated anomaly detection playbooks, and historical trend analysis over months or years without prohibitive storage costs. What Is Packet Capture (PCAP)? Packet Capture (PCAP) is the process of intercepting and recording every bit of data transmitted across a network interface.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, traditional detection systems are often too slow or too silent. Attackers slip through unnoticed, dwell for months, and quietly exfiltrate data. That’s where canary tokens—a modern deception technique. They are designed not just to detect threats, but to do so quietly, passively, and early, before real damage is done. What Is a Canary Token? A canary token is a digital tripwire—an embedded trigger designed to alert defenders when it’s accessed or manipulated. Think of it as the cyber equivalent of leaving a marked dollar bill in a cash register. If the bill disappears, you instantly know something's wrong. Unlike traditional honeypots, canary tokens are lightweight, portable, and scalable. They can be embedded in files, URLs, API keys, documents, DNS entries, and even cloud services. They don’t require their own infrastructure, and their effectiveness lies in how seamlessly they integrate into real-world environments. They’re not noisy like firewalls or SIEMs, nor are they resource-heavy like full honeynet deployments. They sit silently, unnoticed by attackers, until touched—at which point they trigger real-time alerts. Canary tokens can even be embedded in exe or dll files, acrobat reader PDFs, microsoft excel documents, and simulated wireguard VPN client configs to catch cyber criminals performing unauthorized access or scans. How Canary Tokens Work Canary tokens operate on a simple premise: if it’s touched, you’ll know. They are deployed in networks to provide early detection of potential threats.

Learn about fileless malware, its detection methods, and effective prevention tips to safeguard your systems. Read the article for essential insights.

Fileless malware is a cyber threat that operates directly in your computer’s memory, making it invisible to traditional antivirus methods that scan for malicious files. Instead of leveraging files, it exploits existing system tools and software, making detection and prevention exceedingly difficult. In this article, we will explore what is fileless malware, how it works, and methods to detect and prevent it. Understanding Fileless Malware Fileless malware, also known as memory-only malware, operates without traditional files, executing entirely in RAM instead of on the hard drive. This unique characteristic allows it to remain undetected by conventional antivirus tools, which are designed to scan for malicious files on the disk. Instead, fileless malware exploits existing software, applications, and protocols, making it increasingly difficult to detect. The execution of fileless malware involves running shellcode commands directly in memory, allowing attackers to evade traditional detection methods. Embedding malicious code within the memory of legitimate processes allows fileless malware to remain stealthy and challenging to capture. This method of operation is often referred to as ‘living off the land’ (LOTL), where legitimate programs and processes, such as PowerShell and other built-in Windows tools, are leveraged to perform malicious activities. Moreover, fileless malware can be delivered via malicious file links or attachments, frequently employed in phishing emails. Once the malware gains access to the system, it executes its payload through legitimate tools, making it even harder for traditional security measures to identify the threat.

Explore the risks of privilege escalation and discover effective defense strategies to safeguard your systems.

Privilege escalation is when attackers get unauthorized access to higher permissions in a system. This gives them the power to do things they shouldn’t. In this article, we’ll explain the types of privilege escalation, how attackers do it, and how to stop them. Types of Privilege Escalation Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker gains unauthorized access to higher levels of permissions within a system, allowing them to perform actions or access data that they are not ordinarily permitted to. Privilege escalation primarily occurs in two forms. These are horizontal and vertical escalation. Recognizing these types helps in forming effective strategies to detect and prevent privilege escalation attacks. Horizontal privilege escalation involves an attacker gaining access to another user’s account at the same privilege level. This type of escalating privileges does not seek higher-level access but rather exploits other user accounts to access valuable assets or information, leading to a privilege escalation attack and privilege elevation. Vertical privilege escalation, on the other hand, allows an attacker to increase the privileges of a compromised account to gain higher-level access, such as administrative or root privileges. Vertical escalation is particularly dangerous as it grants attackers complete control over the system, posing significant risks to data integrity and security. Horizontal Privilege Escalation Horizontal privilege escalation occurs when an attacker gains unauthorized access to another user’s account with the same privilege level. The goal is often to access valuable assets or information held by other users without elevating permission levels. Common horizontal privilege escalation techniques...

Learn about IDS false positives, their causes, and how they impact network security. Discover strategies to reduce false alarms, improve accuracy, and keep your systems safe from genuine threats.

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are critical to protect networks from internet threats because they have the capability to identify possible attacks and notify security experts about them. All these methods, though, possess some downsides. False positives are normal behaviors reported by mistake as malicious, which may cause legitimate threats to be missed, interfere with security processes, and result in a loss of precious resources. It is imperative that organizations comprehend the causes and implications of IDS false positives to minimize unnecessary operational tension while maintaining strong cybersecurity defenses. How Does an IDS False Positive Happen and What Is It? To identify any potential threats, intrusion detection systems (IDS) are required to scan operating systems, network traffic, and cloud settings. They employ anomaly-based detection to detect irregular activity or signature-based detection to find known attack signatures. The IDS initiates an alert upon identifying malicious activity, triggering the security team to investigate. Not all alarms, though, are indicative of real threats. When good action is wrongly reported as evil, this is called a false positive. For instance, an attempted repeated login after a user forgot their password would trigger a warning for a brute-force attack. While the action is innocuous, the fact that it is anomalous results in an alert from the IDS. Such false positives occur very often from benign actions that are analogous to malicious actions. As networks get bigger and more complicated, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) can receive thousands of alerts on a daily basis—most of which are false...

Explore new obfuscation techniques in the Sakula INOCNATION malware campaign, featuring XOR encryption, string stacking, and Cisco AnyConnect Client as a decoy.

Last month, CrowdStrike published a blog on malware campaigns attributed to Sakula. We took a look at the malware specifically in the INOCNATION campaign to analyze what was new and different about the techniques used by the threat actor. It appears the entity behind this campaign took steps to make reverse engineering more difficult and chose the use of Cisco’s AnyConnect Client as a lure to trick victims into installing the malware. The RAT delivered by this campaign was not particularly interesting and had all the features you would expect in such a tool. The use of the obfuscation techniques was novel and this advisory discusses those in detail, along with how we detected them. Key Findings: Two passes with different XOR keys used to obfuscate components and strings in the malware Trusted software used as a decoy for initial installation A mangled MZ header used to deceive security products String stacking obfuscation with Unicode strings Multiple layers of obfuscation for command and control traffic Built-in uninstall functionality. MD5 Hashes used in this analysis: Fidelis Security’s products detect the activity documented in this paper and additional technical indicators are published in the appendices of this paper and to the Fidelis Security github at https://github. com/fideliscyber. We want to thank our fellow security researchers at CrowdStrike for sharing hashes of the malware samples analyzed in this report.

The Turbo Campaign, Featuring Derusbi for 64-bit Linux In the summer of 2015, Fidelis Security had the opportunity to analyze a Derusbi malware sample used as part of a campaign we’ve labeled Turbo, for the associated kernel module that was deployed. Derusbi has been widely covered and associated with Chinese threat actors. This malware has been reported to have been used in high-profile incidents like the ones involvingWellpoint/Anthem, USIS and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. These incidents have ranged from simple targeting to reported breaches. Every one of these campaigns involved a Windows version of Derusbi. While we’ve analyzed many common variants of Derusbi, this one got our attention because this is a 64-bit Linux variant of Derusbi, the only such sample we have observed in our datasets as well as in public repositories. To our knowledge, no analysis of such malware has been made publicly available. Key Findings Both the malware and kernel module demonstrate cloaking and anti-analysis techniques. While they mimic techniques observed in Windows tools used by APT in some respects, the use in the Linux environment has forced new and sometimes unique implementations. This Derusbi sample shares command and control (C2) infrastructure with PlugX samples targeting Windows systems seen in public repositories. It is our understanding that these tools were used in conjunction in the campaign. The Derusbi sample has command and control patterns that precisely match those observed with the Windows samples. This will allow for reuse of command and control platforms for intrusions involving both Windows...

Cut Through Alert Chaos. Stop Threats Fast. Every minute matters once attackers are inside your network See Fidelis in Action The Challenge Alert Volume Overwhelms Security Operations Centers Security teams face thousands of alerts daily, with false positive rates often exceeding 80% in many environments. This signal-to-noise problem buries genuine threats under routine notifications while analysts waste time investigating benign activities. Traditional security platforms operate in isolation. Endpoint alerts don't correlate with network traffic anomalies. Threat intelligence remains disconnected from active monitoring. Analysts manually piece together attack indicators across multiple dashboards, extending investigation timelines. Our solution Integrated Threat Detection and Response Platform Fidelis Security addresses operational challenges through unified endpoint and network monitoring with automated threat correlation. Our platform combines three integrated components to reduce MTTR through intelligent automation and contextual threat analysis. The architecture eliminates traditional platform silos by sharing threat indicators in real-time across all detection layers.

Network Traffic Analysis: The Visibility Your Team Needs to Stay Ahead Understand every packet. Detect every anomaly. Defend with certainty. See Fidelis in Action The Challenge Threats don’t just break in—they blend in. Today’s attackers are stealthy. They don’t always trigger alerts. Instead, they move laterally, mask activity within legitimate traffic, and exploit network blind spots. Security teams often lack the visibility to distinguish between normal network fluctuations and malicious behavior—until it’s too late. Logs alone don’t reveal the full picture. And static defenses don’t adapt fast enough. Without real-time insight into how data flows across your infrastructure, threats can remain hidden, slip past detection tools, and cause significant damage. You don’t need more alerts. You need to see the why behind the traffic. Our solution Fidelis Network® brings unmatched clarity to network traffic—turning raw flow data into actionable insights. By capturing traffic across every port and protocol, Fidelis Network® enables teams to monitor activity in real time, identify deviations, and surface hidden risks. The platform constructs intelligent behavioral models that evolve with your environment, helping you spot abnormal patterns as they emerge. This isn’t just a flood of packet data—its structured insight enriched with deep context.

Endpoint Forensics & Investigation: See Every Endpoint, Move Uncovered Gain deep visibility, reconstruct attacks, and confidently act on every endpoint event. See Fidelis in Action The Challenge Hidden endpoint threats can bring your defenses to their knees. Attackers targeting endpoints leave only tiny footprints—broken logs, transient memory artifacts, and encrypted payloads. Security teams often scramble to stitch together these scattered clues, stretching investigations from hours into days. Without full endpoint forensics, you can’t clearly see how an attack unfolded, fix the root cause fast, or stop attackers from slipping away with your data. Our solution Fidelis Endpoint® delivers full spectrum forensics, so you never miss a single step. Fidelis Endpoint combines real-time data capture, automated analysis, and integrated response in one platform: Full Session Capture: Records processes, files, registry, and memory in real time.

Network Forensics: The Clarity Your Security Team Has Been Missing See every move, trace every action, and respond with confidence. See Fidelis in Action The Challenge Detection is only half the battle—investigation is where it’s won. Cyberattacks are getting sneakier, and traditional defenses often miss the mark as they slip in quietly, hide in plain sight, and often remain undetected for weeks. Security teams struggle to piece together fragmented network logs and identify root cause fast enough. What they need is not more data—but deeper insight. Without robust network forensics, threat actors can move laterally, exfiltrate data, and cover their tracks before anyone even notices. The sheer volume of network data overwhelms teams, making it tough to pinpoint threats fast enough to stop damage. You need a way to see everything and act decisively. Our solution Fidelis Network® turns raw traffic into rich insights—so you can investigate smarter and faster. Fidelis Network® equips your team with full-session visibility, contextual metadata, and application-layer decoding—all in one platform.

A Secure Web Gateway (SWG) filters web traffic to block threats, enforce policies, and protect users. Learn its definition and how it works.

A Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is a cybersecurity solution that acts as a checkpoint between users and the internet, filtering traffic to ensure safe, policy-compliant access. It blocks harmful websites, enforces organizational rules, and prevents data leaks—all in real time. To put it simply: a Secure Web Gateway monitors every web request made by users and ensures that the request—and its response—doesn’t violate any security policies. It blocks malware, phishing links, and risky websites before they ever reach the user. Whether someone is trying to open a web page, access a cloud app, or download a file, the SWG checks the request for safety. If it meets policy rules, it’s allowed. If not, it’s stopped immediately. What makes SWGs powerful is their deep traffic inspection—especially encrypted HTTPS traffic. They decrypt, inspect, and re-encrypt traffic to spot hidden threats that traditional tools might miss. They can also: Apply user identity-based access controls Restrict access by user role or device type Enforce acceptable use policies Prevent unauthorized data uploads or downloads Secure Web Gateways work alongside other security technologies like gateway firewalls, endpoint protection, and cloud access brokers. Platforms like Fidelis Network® enhance SWG capabilities by providing deep session inspection, behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence integration—strengthening overall visibility and control.

PCAP stands for Packet Capture. Learn what it means, what a PCAP file is, and why it's important in network traffic analysis and cybersecurity.

Packet capture, or PCAP, is a method used to record and analyze data that moves through a network. It’s one of the most important tools in cybersecurity today. To put it simply: packet capture is the process of collecting data packets—small chunks of information—as they travel across your network. These packets are saved in . pcap files and can later be analyzed to understand what’s really happening in your network. Every action on a network—whether it's opening a website, sending an email, or downloading a file—is made up of packets. By capturing them, security teams can: Monitor network activity in real time Detect cyber threats like malware or unauthorized access Troubleshoot network slowdowns or failures Investigate incidents after they occur Behind packet capture are powerful tools like Fidelis Deep Session Inspection. Such tools help teams inspect both basic metadata (like IP addresses and timestamps) and deep content (like encrypted traffic or malicious payloads). Packet capture isn’t just helpful during attacks—it’s also used to diagnose network problems, measure performance, and ensure everything runs smoothly. It provides real-time visibility and historical records, making it easier to spot issues before they become serious. Understanding PCAP meaning goes beyond the technical term. It’s about gaining full visibility into your network—knowing exactly what data entered, left, or flowed within your systems.

Learn what DevSecOps means and how it integrates security into DevOps processes to build secure software from the start.

DevSecOps is a software development methodology that incorporates security into every stage of the DevOps process - from planning and development, to deployment and maintenance. DevSecOps stands for Development, Security and Operations - and confirms the belief that security should be a shared responsibility for all cross-functional team members. The meaning of DevSecOps lies in promoting a cultural and technical shift, where development teams collaborate with security professionals to identify and resolve vulnerabilities early in the process. Rather than considering security as an event or checkpoint at the end of the process, with DevSecOps the emphasis is on continuous monitoring, automated tests, and secure coding practices and methods across the entire pipeline which provides efficient and consistent methods for development and operations to refer to when and if issues arise. The result is less effort and cost involved in remediating vulnerabilities, while still being able to deliver impeccable uptime and speed. A practical implementation of DevSecOps involves integrating tools for code analysis, dependency scanning, and container security directly into CI/CD workflows. This enables teams to detect risks during development instead of reacting after release. This facilitates the identification of risks whilst developing, rather than as an after-release action. With DevSecOps the incorporation of security also improves adherence to regulatory compliance in a high compliance environment by using automation, policy application, and logging of any auditing information. By enabling and embedding what was very fast development, with strong security practices, DevSecOps also allows strong accountability in development (a better Application Security/Information...

Understand cyber reconnaissance — the intelligence-gathering phase of a cyberattack. Learn how attackers profile systems before launching threats.

Cyber reconnaissance is the process of learning about targets in preparation to cyberattack them. Reconnaissance involves gathering intelligence on a target's digital presence, or footprint, with the intention of discovering exploitable weaknesses, identifying exposed assets, unearthing user behaviors, and network topology that can be used to inform a viable exploitation plan. The meaning of reconnaissance in cybersecurity contexts centers on stealthy observation. Reconnaissance in cybersecurity can be characterized as a passive or active process using multiple tools like scanning an IP range, using publicly available open-source intel, or port probing a target to understand how it has been configured and where it may have weaknesses. Reconnaissance typically precedes aggressiveness that might include exploitation or lateral movement. The core of cyber reconnaissance is the application of various techniques, such as footprinting (sourcing information about domain names and internet protocol addresses), enumeration (identifying users and shares), and OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) to supply useful context for internal intelligence to find weaknesses. Sophisticated threat actors, advanced persistent threats (APTs), will take advantage of reconnaissance sophistication to limit focus on and detection of exploitation in order to increase the probability of the attack gaining success. If defensive planning is in place for security, appropriate cyber reconnaissance defenses could include, but are not limited to, segmentation, restricted access, and detection. If inappropriate cyber reconnaissance is detected early and mitigated efficiently, it will be difficult for the attackers to gain further traction and make progress in their respective projects attacking objectives.

- URL: https://fidelissecurity.com/glossary/endpoint/

Endpoint in cybersecurity refers to any device that connects to a network and can be a potential entry point for cyber threats!

An endpoint can be defined basically just as any device connected to a network, which also means that it functions as either an entry or exit point for the transfer of data. We often think about these devices as simply being desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, servers, and so on. However, they can also take the form of Internet of Things (IoT) devices like printers, cameras, smart-home products, etc. Each one of these devices can be viewed as a potential access point or vulnerability for a malicious actor to exploit unauthorized or undesired access to a network. Endpoint security refers to the process of securing an endpoint or end-user device and protecting it from malicious cybersecurity threats. It encompasses the security solutions employed to monitor, detect, and respond to a always faults and/or malicious activity targeting endpoint devices. As an example, consider a situation where a user downloads a file. The endpoint security software would scan the file before allowing the user to utilize it for malware to verify potential malicious content. If malware was identified, the software could quarantine or delete the file, therefore maintaining the consumer's device from being compromised or harmed. Today, endpoint security does not stop at antivirus solutions, it expands to include an all inclusive patriarchal mechanisms for protection, threat detection, investigation and response. When developed, effective endpoint security may leverage technology, such as: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): A solution used to continuously monitor endpoint endeavors, for the purpose of threat detection and response Data...

Definition of deception decoy: a security tactic using fake assets to lure and detect attackers without exposing real systems.

In cybersecurity, a decoy refers to a purposely created digital asset created to confuse, detect, and analyze illegitimate behavior on some part of a network. Decoys are confusing because it looks identical to the actual asset, and serves as a trap designed to watch, log, and record a threat actor's actions, allowing an organization to identify a threat and trigger a response. Deception decoys are, by definition, a subset of deception technology. Decoys pretend to be any legitimate system, network, application, or data asset to attract cyber attackers. The threat actor creates an interaction through the decoy that records their actions and the system can provide insights into their methods and intentions, early threat detection, and minimally impact any damage by mitigating the threat actor's access to critical information whilst engaging with the decoy(s). The meaning of a decoy in cybersecurity extends beyond mere distraction, which means that they are strategically deployed to study, analyze, and understand attempts at unauthorized access. When examining attacker's interaction with a decoy, a security team can create a timeline of events that can reveal vulnerabilities, access routes, and strength of a security posture. The definition of a decoy encompasses various forms, including: Network Decoys: simulated network services or servers that it is hoped will attract unauthorized scans or access attempts. Data Decoys: simulated data centres that appear real or have legitimate structures that it hopes will entice the attacker into some engagement. Application Decoys: fake or simulated applications that appear to be real. Endpoint...

XDR (Extended Detection and Response) is a security approach that integrates multiple tools to detect, analyze, and respond to cyber threats.

The term “XDR” stands for Extended Detection and Response, reflecting its objective to go beyond traditional endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions. The "extended" portion refers to aggregating all types of telemetry from different security products - SIEMs, firewalls, email gateways, cloud security platforms - into one pane of glass analysis. XDR gathers data from endpoints, networks, cloud workloads, email solutions, and other security controls into one platform, unlike traditional security tools that operate in silos, meaning they concentrate on one layer of security, say endpoints or networks. XDR gives security professionals the ability to observe everything from a regular context by linking events and warnings from several sources, therefore facilitating the faster detection of high severity risks that might have gone undetectable. XDR is primarily about extending detection and response capabilities across multiple environments rather than a single domain. This method provides a whole perspective of an organization's security posture, therefore addressing the restrictions of individual technologies. Extended Detection and Response, or XDR for short, is a cybersecurity solution helping with threat identification, investigation, and remedial action all around a company's IT stack. The "XDR definition" can be characterized as an integrated suite of security products and services that make use of automation, machine learning, and advanced analytics to more efficiently detect, rank, and address risks. XDR systems help SOC teams reduce alert fatigue and expedite issue response times by collecting and correlating data in real-time. Through context-rich insight, this not only streamlines procedures but also improves detection accuracy,...

NDR stands for Network Detection and Response in cybersecurity term - Learn its meaning and how it fits into modern threat detection strategies.

Network Detection and Response (NDR) is a cybersecurity method focused on constantly monitoring and analyzing network traffic to find and reduce vulnerabilities. NDR systems provide visibility into activity patterns that might avoid endpoint defenses or go undetectable by signature-based techniques which means they gather data from packets, flows, and session information across an organization's infrastructure. Early discovery of anomalies such as odd communication channels, irregular protocol use, or indicators of data exfiltration—allows this thorough inspection to enable before attackers can advance further into the environment. The term “Network Detection and Response” reflects both its core purpose and its operational scope. NDR compiles raw network data to set a baseline of typical behavior instead of depending just on alarms from specific devices. Advanced analytics, machine learning algorithms, and threat intelligence streams then work together to identify deviations from the baseline. When an abnormality occurs, the system correlates the pertinent occurrences and generates a risk score, allowing security professionals to prioritize genuine dangers above minor abnormalities. This tight integration of detection and response capabilities sets NDR apart from more narrowly focused network monitoring technologies. In order to record traffic in real time, an NDR system typically installs sensors or taps at key network nodes, including data centers, cloud gateways, and core switches. After behavioral analysis of the collected data, automated or semi-automated response actions are started when necessary. These actions may include blocking malicious IP addresses, isolating compromised segments, or generating alerts for additional research. Given the rise of sophisticated techniques including...

DLP stands for Data Loss Prevention. Explore the definition and learn how it helps protect sensitive data from unauthorized access or leaks.

DLP stands for Data Loss Prevention, which is a strategic cybersecurity solution that protects sensitive information from being lost, misused, or accessed by unauthorized parties. DLP systems detect policy violations by inspecting content (file types, keywords, metadata) and context (user behavior) across endpoints, networks, and cloud services. Examples include copying a restricted document to an external drive or sending confidential reports to personal email addresses. When a violation is detected, DLP implements measures such as encrypting the data, suspending transmission, quarantining endpoints, and contacting security officials. Policies categorize information based on predetermined rules (for example, credit card numbers or personal health information), and controls are automatically triggered whenever protected content is transferred, duplicated, or communicated outside of permitted channels. This comprehensive approach distinguishes between acceptable workflows and dangerous operations by linking metadata, human actions, and system states. While traditional security products concentrate on stopping threats at the network's perimeter or hardening endpoints, DLP addresses data wherever it exists - inside or outside the network security perimeter. Even if an attacker circumvents a firewall or malware protections, DLP controls are able to identify anomalous behaviors (e. g. bulk file or out-of-policy uploads) and take appropriate actions. As regulatory requirements become more strict and information is more valuable than ever before, Data Loss Prevention will remain critical for organizations that require adoption to reduce the risk of inadvertent exposure, reduce the probability of insider threats, and comply with privacy regulations. Ongoing data flow visibility enables DLP to know where risk exists and...
