Threat Intelligence and Data Source Integration

Implement solutions consolidating intelligence from:

  • Vulnerability assessment tools
  • Threat intelligence platforms
  • Asset management systems
  • Network traffic analyzers
  • User behavior analytics systems
  • Configuration databases

Fidelis Elevate® consolidates data and risk across the entire security stack for a single source of truth across NDR, EDR, IT/OT, vulnerability scans, CNAPP, CASB, Active Directory, and more, creating comprehensive visibility for risk assessment.
Data normalization presents significant technical challenges when integrating diverse security platforms. Schema variations, terminology differences, and conflicting taxonomies require careful reconciliation through transformation rules and mapping tables. Timestamp synchronization ensures accurate event sequencing across platforms. API-based integrations provide near real-time data access, while batch processing supports systems lacking direct integration capabilities.
Data quality validation mechanisms ensure reliable risk assessment through consistency checks, completeness verification, and anomaly detection. Automated correlation rules connect related data points across sources, creating comprehensive risk context from fragmented security information.
