Zero trust is assembled from many tools, and NIST’s 2025 practice guide[7] built 19 example architectures with 24 vendors to show it. Fidelis products sit in the detection and verification layer. They don’t set access policy, manage identities, or enforce segmentation, and they don’t make an organization HIPAA compliant.
Fidelis Network® gives teams visibility into traffic that access controls can’t explain on their own. It collects more than 300 metadata attributes of protocols and files, inspects sessions deeply, and profiles TLS traffic to help separate human from machine activity. It detects lateral movement, correlates alerts against MITRE ATT&CK, and applies new threat intelligence to stored history. Sensors cover internal as well as inbound and outbound traffic, with on-premises, VM, and cloud options.
Fidelis Deception® covers the places where installing software isn’t possible. It places decoys that resemble real assets, so any interaction is suspicious, and it works without agents on endpoints. A Fidelis customer, a university children’s hospital with nearly 5,000 staff and volunteers, deployed it out of line and agentless, with no network performance impact, and it surfaced scanning from an associate organization and unauthorized tools. That example shows a detection use case, not a full zero trust program.
For identity, Fidelis Active Directory Intercept™ adds AD-aware detection, deception, and log monitoring to the directory service at the center of many environments.
