FireEye SmartVision
Detect suspicious lateral network traffic within your network
FireEye SmartVision is a network traffic analysis (NTA) solution that detects suspicious lateral traffic within an enterprise network. It is comprised of an advanced correlation and analytics engine, a machine learning module to detect data exfiltration attempts, and is bolstered by 120+ intrusion detection rules that identify weak indicators of compromise.
Unlike other network security solutions that sit at the perimeter, FireEye SmartVision can be deployed all throughout the network – at the core, across network segments, or in front of key servers and IT assets.
Once deployed, FireEye SmartVision Edition identifies unique threat actions across the lateral attack cycle, further reducing post-breach dwell time and risk of loss.
Features
- Detects suspicious lateral network traffic
- Detonates objects over SMB/SMB2 protocols
- Visualizes alerts to quickly triage events
- Supports extensive metadata protocols
- Complements existing FireEye Network Security deployments
- Integrates with FireEye Helix
Benefits
- Decreases time to detect post-breach activities
- Provides flexibility to scale through the entire network
- Enables visibility into network segmentation initiatives
- Improves network forensics and incident response
- Reduces attacker dwell time

Network Security
FireEye Network Security is designed for high-performance, pervasive and consistent protection against threats across your organization with integrated security workflow and actionable contextual intelligence. It enables you to:
- Accurately detect and immediately stop attacks that evade other security devices, including file-based sandboxes
- Understand and prioritize critical alerts with reliable execution evidence and contextual insights
- Proactively defend and investigate threats with tactical intelligence from FireEye or a third party using the Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX) format as well as contextual and strategic threat intelligence
- Deploy Network Security with integrated all-in-one hardware appliances or with a scalable and flexible on-premise or cloud-based distributed model
- Future-proof your investment with an extensible, modular architecture
- Provide your Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X users with the same level of threat protection
- Achieve quick protection with machine-, attacker- and victim-based intelligence applied as updates to your defenses every 60 minutes
- Shorten the solution payback period by eliminating the operational cost of triaging alerts manually
- Integrate and automate your security workflow to easily prioritize, investigate and respond to alerts across different threat vectors
