Lancope Introduces Data Loss Alarming in NetFlow-based StealthWatch System

Atlanta, March 23, 2010 – Lancope, Inc., the leader in NetFlow™ collection and analysis and the provider of the StealthWatch® System for flow-based network performance and security monitoring, today introduced Data Loss Alarming in StealthWatch which alerts organizations of potential data extrusions regardless of data format, protocol or encryption technique. The new feature enhances StealthWatch’s ability to protect organizations against data leakage and improves end-to-end visibility across physical and virtual networks. Recent studies show that the average organizational cost of a single data breach is close to $7M and rising[1]. Recognizing that data loss prevention is a top priority for most… READ MORE

Network Computing Reviews StealthWatch FlowSensor AE

Lancope Goes With The FlowPosted by Mike Fratto on November 9, 2009   In the world of application performance management and network security monitoring, visibility is key. If you can't detect it, you can't do anything about it. That is why networks are populated with probes, taps and in-line sensors. Lancope, in addition to a system wide software upgrade, announced a new probe, the FlowSensory AE, that collects Netflow v9 records and sends them to a collector for collection and analysis. In addition, Lancope has extended Netflow v9 with additional fields that the StealthWatchXE collects outside of the normal flow… READ MORE

Accessing StealthWatch from HP OpenView Node Manager.. and your Blackberry

Courtesy of DAS... This post follows on quite neatly from last month's piece on building links to third-party tools from within the StealthWatch Management Console (SMC) client (you can read the post here) This post looks in the other direction...how can I mine StealthWatch data quickly and easily from other systems?  This example looks at just one popular platform; however, the concept is very simple and can be used with other tools. Hewlett Packard's OpenView platform is in use by operations teams all over the world.  Did you know you could access StealthWatch data directly from the OpenView Node Manager Map?… READ MORE

CMU Uses NetFlow and StealthWatch to Increase Network Visibility

Here's a spotlight on a fellow NetFlow Ninja - Ryan Laus at Central Michigan University. CMU uses Lancope's StealthWatch and Cisco© IOS NetFlow™ to enhance visibility across its 16,000-node network, monitor its 100-percent Cisco network infrastructure and improve security decision-making. With nearly 64,000 total user accounts, 32,000 wired network ports and state-of-the-art facilities that also support 19 remote locations, network security and performance are critical to CMU. Network and security teams needed greater visibility of internal and external traffic and a faster way to elevate security concerns from a vast number of flows. Ryan Laus, network manager for CMU, primarily relies on StealthWatch to analyze NetFlow… READ MORE
