Did you know that up to 20% of enterprise infrastructures are unmonitored and unmanaged? That means End-of-Life (EoL) devices aren’t getting security patches, misconfigurations are exposing critical services, and bypassed firewalls are leaving room for threat actors to sneak in. But with IP Fabric, organizations have the end-to-end visibility and granular security controls they need to proactively prevent risks to security and compliance.
Get the most complete and accurate insights about your infrastructure behavior from cloud to network edge.
Enrich intent checks to ensure that your unique business requirements are upheld throughout your infrastructure.
Quickly identify, contextualize, and take action to resolve risks before they become costly security incidents.
Collect URL filtering rules and FortiGate threat feed configurations to validate that security controls are in place. If IP Fabric detects any misalignment between policy enforcement and intent, the platform will automatically send a webhook to an external system to begin the remediation process.
Run end-to-end path simulations to understand how traffic flows through transparent firewalls from platforms like Forcepoint, Cisco Firepower, Fortinet, and Palo Alto Networks. Use these insights as a baseline to predict the effect that future changes may have on infrastructure behavior.
Pull external data into attribute tables, where it can be used to create custom security and compliance checks—without needing advanced knowledge of code or query languages.
SIEMs focus on log-based monitoring, which can flood teams with alerts. But without broader context, those alerts don’t help to prioritize the most urgent risks. IP Fabric takes a more holistic approach to infrastructure security by creating a “digital twin” of every device, connection, and configuration. This digital twin can be used to simulate infrastructure behavior and identify and validate possible attack pathways, whether it’s a bypassed firewall or a misconfigured access control. From there, IP Fabric correlates infrastructure behavior to log-based detections in SIEMs or CSPMs in order to give security and IT leaders the insights they need to make faster, more informed governance decisions.
IP Fabric uses a combination of automated discovery techniques to identify all unmanaged or End-of-Life (EoL) devices from core to edge to cloud. By leveraging read-only credentials, IP Fabric connects to infrastructure devices through CLI commands and APIs to gather operational data, such as interface states and configuration rules. It also identifies neighboring devices using protocols like LLDP, CDP, and ARP, to build Layer 2 and Layer 3 topologies. This comprehensive discovery helps to ensure that all devices, connections, and configurations are inventoried, giving you a complete and up-to-date view of your infrastructure. This view is essential not only for proving compliance with security frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS, but also for creating a strong foundation for infrastructure security automation.
Yes, IP Fabric supports infrastructure threat modeling by simulating infrastructure behavior and identifying attack pathways. It does this through end-to-end path lookups, which allow you to visualize the potential impact of a compromised system and measure the “blast radius” of attacks. By validating real attack paths, IP Fabric helps security teams prioritize their focus, ensuring that they allocate resources to the areas that pose the greatest risk. This proactive approach allows you to strengthen your security posture before an incident occurs, all while proving continuous compliance with leading security frameworks.
With cyber threats on the rise, security frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS have become strategic priorities at the board level. IP Fabric simplifies compliance with all major security frameworks by automatically discovering, documenting, and validating security controls (e.g. segmentation, firewall rules, access controls) across millions of infrastructure data points. Each snapshot provides timestamped evidence of compliance, complete with normalized infrastructure insights that can be easily understood by any team, executive, or auditor that requests them. Snapshots and insights can be shared via custom dashboards, the CLI, or the API.
