What’S Hiding Within Your Metadata?

The “What’s Hiding Within Your Metadata?” whitepaper by Fidelis Cybersecurity explores the importance of leveraging rich metadata to uncover hidden cyber threats and better detect attackers throughout the attack lifecycle. Traditional malware-focused solutions often miss sophisticated threats that do not rely on malware, leaving organizations vulnerable. The paper emphasizes the need for deep visibility into network traffic to uncover tactics like SQL injection, credential theft, and cross-site scripting, which are commonly used by attackers to gain control and evade detection.

The document also discusses the growing challenge of managing big data in security operations. While many organizations capture extensive data, they often fail to analyze it effectively. The solution lies in using technologies like Fidelis Network’s Deep Session Inspection®, which allows security analysts to capture and analyze rich metadata at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. By enriching the data captured during network sessions, organizations can better identify and stop attacks, even those that might otherwise go undetected by conventional methods.
