The panel, “Living With (And Prospering From) BYOD,” will be moderated by Tim Scannell, an editorial director for TechTarget, and will feature three panelists including Lancope Network Security Manager Chris Smithee. More details on the session, taking place at Mandalay Bay on Thursday, May 10 at 11:30 a.m. PDT, can be found at: http://www.interop.com/lasvegas/conference/wireless-and-mobility.php.

“As smartphones and tablets become ubiquitous among today’s professionals, more and more enterprise organizations are allowing employees to bring these devices, as well as their personal computers, to the office,” said Smithee of Lancope. “Unfortunately, if they are not properly managed and secured, the influx of personal devices onto corporate networks can lead to dire consequences when it comes to security and performance.”

With mobile devices expected to exceed PCs in both shipments and spending this year, BYOD is here to stay. Smithee and the other panelists will educate attendees on the various risks involved with the rapidly-emerging trend, and how to mitigate these risks to take advantage of benefits including cost savings and greater user productivity.

BYOD is quickly rendering traditional network defense mechanisms such as antivirus, firewalls and IDS/IPS ineffective, and it is often unfeasible or even impossible to install additional security software on every new device that enters the network. By leveraging next-generation solutions like Lancope’s StealthWatch^® System, organizations can effectively protect the network from risks introduced via personal smartphones, tablets or laptops without the need to install software on users’ devices.

StealthWatch conducts sophisticated behavioral analysis of NetFlow, IPFIX and other flow data inherent in existing infrastructure to provide cost-effective, end-to-end network visibility and protection. The rapid expansion of flow data across today’s infrastructure makes it so that inspection points for various devices can be as close as the switch to which they are connected.

No longer limited to just monitoring perimeter systems and core routers/switches, flow-based technologies can now provide extremely reliable monitoring without having to install agents on every host. StealthWatch can easily uncover both externally-launched, zero-day attacks, and internal threats such as network misuse, policy violations and data leakage – regardless of the device being used.

With more than 11 years of experience in IT and security, Lancope’s Chris Smithee is focused on flow-based detection and analysis of network and security events. He delivers training to customers and partners around the world, and is also a main presenter for Lancope’s University of NetFlow educational seminars.

Lancope to Showcase Security Monitoring for BYOD Environments at Infosecurity Europe

2012-04-24T12:46:11+00:00

Company’s flow-based monitoring technology provides comprehensive protection for any device that enters the network

ATLANTA and Infosecurity Europe, April 24, 2012 – Lancope, Inc., a leader in flow-based security and network performance monitoring, will showcase its solution for securing bring-your-own-device (BYOD) environments at Infosecurity Europe, taking place in London from April 24-26, 2012.

Unlike other BYOD security solutions that require organizations to install software on every new device, Lancope’s StealthWatch^® System provides comprehensive security for any device entering the network, without having to install additional software on the device or deploy expensive probes. Instead, StealthWatch conducts sophisticated behavioral analysis on flow data from existing infrastructure to deliver end-to-end visibility and security across an organization’s entire network.

“Alongside other trends and challenges including virtualization, user mobility and advanced persistent threats (APTs), BYOD is further clouding network visibility and making it even more difficult for administrators to maintain effective control over what is going on within their networks,” said Mike Potts, president and CEO of Lancope. “While conventional security solutions are losing ground among today’s constantly-evolving technology environment, next-generation solutions like StealthWatch enable enterprises to easily adapt to emerging trends without sacrificing network integrity and protection.”

In a recent industry poll conducted by Lancope, half of the respondents reported that mobile devices increase overall network traffic on average by 50 percent. The survey respondents also indicated that as mobile device traffic increased on their networks, confidence in their organization’s security posture decreased. Unfortunately, traditional threat detection mechanisms such as firewalls, antivirus and IDS/IPS quickly become cost prohibitive and ineffective within a BYOD environment. Now is the time for enterprises to revamp their security strategies to accommodate today’s explosive growth in mobile computing.

Already inherent in routers, switches and other network infrastructure devices, the use of flow data to monitor network and host activity provides a cost-effective solution for analyzing the behavior of mobile devices. By leveraging flow data with enterprise-ready solutions like StealthWatch, organizations can proactively detect issues stemming from users’ personal smartphones, tablets or laptops.

Flow-based monitoring can uncover external attacks like botnets, worms, viruses or APTs, as well as internal risks such as network misuse, policy violations and data leakage. It can also be leveraged for other efforts including regulatory compliance and capacity planning, and for ensuring high levels of network and mobile device performance.

Lancope will showcase its BYOD security capabilities at Infosecurity Europe Booth F61. Lancope and Cisco will also present a session at the show entitled “Network Visibility Today to Secure Tomorrow’s Network,” for which more details can be found at: http://www.infosec.co.uk/page.cfm/action=Seminars/SeminarID=49.
