Frequently Asked Questions
What is FatPipe Total Security 360 and how does it protect my network?
FatPipe Total Security 360 is an end-to-end security and visibility platform designed to protect your WAN and internet traffic while maintaining performance and reliability.
It brings together four main elements:
1) Network monitoring and visibility
2) WAN transmission security
3) Advanced firewall and network security
4) Regulatory compliance and monitoring
Here’s how it helps your organization:
• 360-degree threat protection
– Defends against malware, ransomware, DDoS attacks, data breaches, and lateral movement inside the network.
– DDoS protection is standard and enabled by default. Every service on the unit is automatically safeguarded against DDoS attacks out of the box, with no extra setup.
• Advanced firewall and intrusion protection
– Context-aware firewall with built-in IPS to decide which packets to allow or block.
– IDS/IPS monitors traffic for hostile behavior, alerts admins, and can block malicious IPs or users.
– Application control lets you define how applications use multiple paths, so they only traverse links that meet your performance and security requirements.
• Deep inspection and threat intelligence
– Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) for IT and OT/ICS/SCADA environments to detect protocol-specific threats.
– Deep Packet SSL inspection for signature-based threat detection, protocol logging, file identification, and full packet capture.
– Real-time threat intelligence to block known malicious IPs, domains, and URLs.
– Detection of Domain Generating Algorithms (DGA) and botnet activity using intelligent traffic analysis and behavior monitoring.
• Web and content security
– DNS filtering based on real-time reputation lists to block malicious domains and reduce phishing and malware risk.
– Web filtering to enforce internet usage policies, restrict categories, and help keep spyware out.
– Malicious URL protection at the gateway, plus video filtering to block inappropriate or risky video content.
– Built-in antivirus and antispam engines to detect Trojans, viruses, malware, and spam.
• Compliance and monitoring
– EnterpriseView and EV3 provide real-time visibility into traffic, performance, and security events.
– Support for compliance statistics and alerting for HIPAA, NIST, GDPR, PCI DSS, TSC, and top MITRE ATT&CK tactics.
In practice, FatPipe Total Security 360 helps you keep operations running securely and efficiently, even as threats evolve, by combining prevention, detection, and continuous monitoring in one integrated platform.
How does FatPipe secure data in transit, especially across multiple WAN links and the cloud?
FatPipe focuses heavily on securing data in transit across all your WAN and internet paths, including hybrid and cloud environments. It does this through a combination of patented multipath technology, encryption, and policy controls.
Key capabilities include:
• Multi-Path Security (MPSec)
– Patented feature that adds an extra layer of security by sending traffic across multiple active links.
– MPSec can increase the security of data transmission by up to a factor of n, where n is the number of lines.
– Data is transmitted over a combination of secure lines, with traffic paths scrambled so that intercepted fragments are difficult to reconstruct.
– Also provides redundancy, security, and load balancing for higher throughput.
• VPN and encryption options
– Supports IPSec VPN and SSL VPN for secure remote access.
– Uses standard encryption with IPSec and GRE encapsulation, so it can establish VPN/GRE tunnels with third-party security appliances.
– The FatPipe security module is FIPS-certified, which is important for organizations with strict security requirements.
• Selective Encryption for hybrid WAN
– When you combine MPLS with lower-cost internet links, FatPipe’s patented Selective Encryption lets you encrypt only the traffic on the internet links.
– Data on secure MPLS lines can remain unencrypted, which reduces processing overhead and bandwidth costs.
– Customers typically save around 40% on bandwidth by avoiding unnecessary encryption on MPLS circuits.
• TLS protection for identity and access
– Uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure data exchanges between the LDAP server and FatPipe, protecting usernames, passwords, and privileges.
– Supports device authentication with industry-standard methods for secure key exchange and protection when devices move between locations.
• Cloud and ZTNA-aligned controls
– Cloud Firewall, Cloud Web Filtering, and Cloud IDS/IPS to inspect traffic to and from cloud applications.
– Man-in-the-Middle inspection (where appropriate and configured) to inspect encrypted packets and ensure only authorized data is sent out.
– Support for Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles to limit access based on identity, context, and policy.
• Geofencing
– Ability to restrict network access based on geographic location and IP, helping you limit exposure to regions that don’t align with your risk profile.
Together, these capabilities help you secure data across all WAN paths, remote users, and cloud services, while still optimizing performance and controlling costs.
How does FatPipe support compliance, visibility, and ongoing security monitoring?
FatPipe is designed not just to block threats, but also to give you the visibility and reporting you need to support compliance and continuous security operations.
Here’s how it helps:
• Centralized network and security monitoring
– FatPipe EnterpriseView provides real-time visibility into network performance, security posture, and user experience.
– It collects and analyzes data from network devices, security controls, servers, endpoints, and user applications.
– Monitoring goes beyond basic up/down checks to identify irregularities or unauthorized activities across your environment.
• Compliance-focused dashboards and alerts
– EnterpriseView supports compliance statistics and dedicated alert charts for:
• HIPAA
• NIST
• GDPR
• PCI DSS
• TSC
– It also tracks top MITRE ATT&CK tactics, helping you align your defenses with a widely used adversary framework.
– Continuous monitoring allows you to detect and address potential incidents early, strengthening your overall security posture.
• EV3 WAN Edge Monitoring
– EV3 focuses on WAN edge visibility, giving you:
• Real-time metrics for inbound/outbound speeds, jitter, latency, and link status.
• Protocol monitoring and customizable reports.
• Insights into top hosts and users.
• Tracking of device login activity, remote user statistics, authentication status, and detailed edge device information.
– This helps you quickly spot anomalies, suspicious activity, or unauthorized access attempts at the network edge.
• Threat detection and logging
– IDS/IPS, firewall, DNS filtering, DGA detection, botnet protection, and malicious IP/domain blocking all generate actionable logs.
– Deep Packet SSL inspection and DPI provide detailed protocol and flow records, file identification, and full packet capture when needed.
– Virtual patching applies protections in real time without downtime or software updates, and those actions are visible in monitoring.
• Policy enforcement and auditability
– Web filtering, application control, geofencing, and device authentication policies are centrally managed and logged.
– This supports audit trails that show who accessed what, from where, and under which conditions.
By combining these monitoring, reporting, and control capabilities, FatPipe helps you simplify compliance efforts, maintain continuous visibility, and respond more effectively to emerging security issues.
