Fidelis NDR vs ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360
From Anomaly Alerts to Complete Investigative Context
Fidelis Network® Detection and Response: An Integrated Platform Built for Deep Investigation
- Security teams face a constant stream of alerts, but alerts alone don't explain what happened, how far it spreads, or what to do next. Without deep context, investigations slow down and response gets delayed while an attack keeps moving.
- Fidelis Network® Detection and Response (NDR) is an integrated platform that combines ML analytics, a curated base rule set that is user configurable, and curated as well as user-configurable threat intelligence to cover multiple use cases and scenarios. It utilizes Network, Mail, and Web sensors for data analysis and protection, with integrated sandboxing. Fidelis contains protocol, format, and transport decoders that allow deep analysis of the data contained in the customer's data in motion. It does this on the fly to generate complete metadata of all inspected traffic, rather than relying only on full packet capture, giving analysts real-time and retrospective investigation ability across the environment, within a platform built for deep session investigation.
- ExtraHop offers Reveal(x) 360, a SaaS-based NDR platform with roots in network and application performance monitoring. It uses cloud-based machine learning to build predictive models and flag anomalies against learned baselines, an approach that relies on analyst validation before a threat is confirmed.
- These differences reflect two distinct approaches: Fidelis emphasizes deep inspection and investigation, while ExtraHop focuses on anomaly detection at scale.
Leads the Way
Why Organizations Rely on Fidelis
Faster Threat Detection
Combines machine learning, a configurable rule set, and threat intelligence in a single platform, rather than depending on anomaly detection alone.
Lower Infrastructure Overhead
Detects suspicious data traffic through Deep Session Inspection (DSI), DPI, and metadata analysis of data seen by our sensors, rather than relying on full packet capture and DPI.
Full Environmental Context
In-depth terrain discovery, asset detection, classification, and profiling across the environment.
Confident Investigation
Real-time traffic analysis and retrospective metadata analysis across the environment.
Faster Investigations
Complete alert details, including the reason for triggering, where and when it happened, and its risk to the organization.
Scalable Platform
Analyzes up to 20G of traffic in a single sensor, which may be combined with others to scale as needed. All NDR capability is available within a broader platform that may include EDR and Deception.
See the Impact
- Detect known and unknown threats in real time with DSI, DPI, and retrospective metadata-based intrusion detection, backed by curated base rule sets out of the box plus user-configurable rule sets, rather than waiting on anomaly-based alerts alone.
- Contain threats with native network detection response, without third-party integration for blocking.
- Get Network DLP built natively into the platform, with granular leakage control and passive encrypted traffic inspection.
- Decode traffic on the fly, per sensor, to collect, store, and analyze metadata from all traffic submitted to our sensors for inspection.
- Gain full AD visibility with curated rules to detect malicious AD activity plus validated attack alerting through Fidelis Deception, in each product release.
- Provides scalable Network, Web, and Mail traffic analysis and metadata storage within a single platform, rather than a new point tool.
