Compare F5 BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator vs. Fidelis Network

Malicious entities exploit SSL/TLS encryption to conceal harmful payloads and evade security measures. To shield your organization from potential threats, it is essential to employ security solutions capable of efficiently inspecting encrypted traffic on a large scale. The BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator offers robust decryption for both incoming and outgoing SSL/TLS traffic, allowing for thorough security inspections that reveal dangers and thwart attacks before they can occur. Enhance your infrastructure and security investments by utilizing dynamic, policy-driven decryption, encryption, and traffic management through your security inspection tools. Safeguard against outbound traffic that may spread malware, steal data, or connect to command-and-control servers to instigate attacks. By decrypting incoming encrypted traffic, you can confirm that it does not contain ransomware, malware, or other threats that can lead to breaches, infections, and security incidents. Additionally, this approach helps eliminate new security blind spots and provides increased flexibility without necessitating significant architectural modifications. Overall, maintaining a proactive stance on encryption inspection is essential for comprehensive cybersecurity.

To effectively identify sophisticated threats, it is essential to conduct thorough inspection, extraction, and real-time analysis of all types of content traversing the network. Fidelis' network detection and response technology systematically scans all ports and protocols in both directions, gathering extensive metadata that serves as the foundation for robust machine-learning analytics. By utilizing sensors for direct, internal, email, web, and cloud communications, you achieve comprehensive network visibility and coverage. The tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of identified attackers are aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK™ framework, enabling security teams to proactively address potential threats. While threats may attempt to evade detection, they ultimately cannot escape. You can automatically profile and categorize IT assets and services, including enterprise IoT devices, legacy systems, and shadow IT, to create a detailed map of your cyber landscape. Furthermore, when combined with Fidelis' endpoint detection and response offering, you obtain a software asset inventory linked to known vulnerabilities, such as CVE and KB references, along with an assessment of security hygiene concerning patches and the status of endpoints. This comprehensive approach equips organizations with the tools needed to maintain a resilient cybersecurity posture.
