Dubai, United Arab Emirates – September 26, 2016 –  Fidelis Cybersecurity, the leading provider of products and services for detecting and stopping advanced cyberattacks, today announced its participation in GITEX Technology Week 2016 to be held at Dubai World Trade Center, October 16-20.

Fidelis Cybersecurity (Hall 1, stand E1-30) will demonstrate the latest updates to Fidelis Network™ and Fidelis Endpoint™ and invites members of the security community to learn how to improve threat detection accuracy by 30% and recover 50% faster from critical security incidents using integrated network and endpoint solutions from Fidelis.

“Organizations in the Middle East face an array of highly skilled attackers with motives that range from data theft to the destruction of critical infrastructure,” said Jason Mical, vice president of endpoint products, Fidelis Cybersecurity. “It’s no longer simply a case of perimeter security and remediation once a breach happens. Security organizations must incorporate deep and automated threat detection and analysis to quickly and accurately respond to threats before they escalate and data theft occurs.”

GITEX attendees are invited to learn more about Fidelis solutions. Fidelis Network™ analyses network traffic at multi-gigabit speeds in real-time. It detects the tools and tactics of advanced attackers – including advanced malware, exploits, command and control activity, and data theft techniques – that can often get past traditional network security systems, such as firewalls and intrusion prevention systems. Fidelis Endpoint™ allows an organization to initiate an investigation and respond to a threat, no matter where it is in the corporate environment – network, endpoint or mobile device – across all ports and protocols, without depending on third-party proxies.

In addition to demonstrating its market-leading solutions, Fidelis will be showcasing its new malware database and freeware tools that the security community can take advantage of to counter attacks and prevent data theft without cost. New resources include the Barncat™ Threat Intelligence Database, the ThreatScanner™ tool for finding malware residing on an endpoint, and CCNumberFinder™ to support PCI DSS compliance.

“Between shrinking IT budgets and the explosion in the number of security vendors in the market offering seemingly similar solutions, CISOs face the daunting task of choosing a comprehensive security solution that is right for their organization. At Fidelis, we understand these challenges and are committed to providing solutions that reduce the time to detect and resolve incidents, prevent data theft and stop attackers at every stage in the attack lifecycle. In fact, a recent study by a leading analyst firm showed that our products detect 35% more threats than existing solutions and deliver a risk-adjusted return on investment of 170% over a three-year period.”

“There is no doubt that security is high, if not at the top, of the agenda of every CISO in the Middle East. As the largest regional IT exhibition, I am excited to join the local team at GITEX and use it as a platform to meet with industry peers, partners and customers and demonstrate how our network and endpoint solutions relentlessly pursue attackers no matter how deep they are hiding in an organization’s environment,” concluded Jason.
