Fidelis Security Systems Expands Next-Generation Data Leakage Prevention
Product Family with Fidelis XPS(TM) Scout
Portable and Powerful Tool Accelerates Audit and Assessment Process

BETHESDA, Md. and WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Fidelis Security
Systems, the leader in next-generation data leakage prevention (DLP)
solutions, today unveiled Fidelis XPS(TM) Scout, the first all-in-one portable
network data leakage detection appliance specifically designed for audit,
assessment, and incident response teams.  Fidelis XPS Scout enables an
organization to quickly and easily assess its compliance with internal
policies and external regulations requiring protection of sensitive identity
information or digital assets.
    "Audit and assessment teams can use network data leakage prevention
technology to help organizations gain visibility into live data leakage
issues," said Paul Proctor, Analyst and Research VP, Gartner. "Visibility into
the problem is the first step to addressing these risks."
    Fidelis XPS Scout is built on the same next-generation DLP platform as the
company's award-winning, high-performance, gigabit-speed sensor technology in
the Fidelis Extrusion Prevention System(R), Fidelis XPS, giving enterprise
assessment teams the most powerful technology available to manage network data
leakage.  The portable appliance can easily be moved between locations,
providing the audit or assessment team actual visibility into the
organization's actual data leakage during the assessment period.  In the event
of an incident, Fidelis XPS Scout allows incident response teams to discover
vital information leaving the organization, leading to faster remediation.
With pre-built policies and no requirements for time consuming data
registration, the appliance's comprehensive policy engine can deliver simple
policy customization, allowing the system to assess data leakage risk within
an hour of deployment.
    "The release of Fidelis XPS Scout is yet another industry 'first' for
Fidelis Security Systems -- for the first time, an audit or assessment team
can now be equipped with an easy-to-deploy portable appliance to quickly
analyze all network traffic with unparalleled accuracy," said Peter George,
CEO of Fidelis Security Systems.  "The control of sensitive information is
critical to an organization's success and the negative impact of a data
leakage incident is a vital concern to global enterprises.  Until now, audit
teams have not had the tools required to quickly and painlessly detect the
risks associated with data leakage."
