Security Hygiene
(IT Health Environment)
Keeping your IT hygiene in check to stop threats before they start
The Challenge
Bad hygiene is the silent gap hackers love
Neglected IT hygiene leaves your entire environment exposed. You might assume one orphaned account, or a single unpatched server won’t matter, but attackers view these oversights as open invitations.
On average, app vulnerabilities linger for 75 days and device issues for 55 days—ample time for threat actors to slip in, escalate privileges, and move laterally. Before you know it, those forgotten assets turn into stolen credentials, data exfiltration incidents, and protracted breach investigations. Without continuous, automated hygiene enforcement, every day you’re one overlooked asset away from your next major security incident.
Our solution
A One Platform Security Reset for IT environments
Fidelis Elevate® delivers the controls and insights you need to keep IT environments healthy and secure:
- Holistic Visibility:
Real-time asset discovery and classification across endpoints, network, cloud, and Active Directory. - Deep Session Inspection®:
Continuously monitors all traffic (up to 20 GB/sec), detecting anomalous activity on unpatched or misconfigured systems. - Risk-Aware Terrain Mapping:
Automatically surfaces high-risk assets and likely attack paths, so you can prioritize patching and remediation. - Automated Hygiene Workflows:
Integrates with patch managers, IAM tools, and SIEMs via pre-built connectors—triggering playbooks to enforce baseline configurations. - Deception Traps for Visibility:
Deploys low-overhead decoys in critical network segments to catch lateral movement and misconfiguration scans. - Forensic Evidence Preservation:
Captures and retains detailed session recordings, endpoint snapshots, and AD change logs for post-incident analysis.
Why Now?
Unpatched and forgotten assets are today’s greatest threat
14%
of breaches began with vulnerability exploitation in 2024 which proves that unpatched systems serve as initial access vectors.
75%
of breaches that exploit known vulnerabilities which are older than a year demonstrate that outdated security gaps remain prime targets.
96%
surge in known exploited vulnerabilities since last year indicates that threat actors are weaponizing new flaws almost immediately.
