Lancope Extends Market Leadership in Higher Education Market for Internal Network Security and Monitoring

Increased Speaking Opportunities, Market Presence and Customers Cement Lancope Leadership

ATLANTA, March 21, 2006 - Lancope, Inc., the pioneer and market leader in network behavior analysis (NBA) and response solutions with the most enterprise customers, today announced has become the leading provider of internal security and network monitoring for the higher education market. In addition to enterprise market leadership, Lancope is also the leader in the higher education market as validated by many premier academic institutions,, including Dartmouth College, Stanford University School of Medicine, Northwestern University, and University of North Carolina, which have deployed Lancope’s award-winning StealthWatch System to defeat zero-day worms, internal network misuse and other anomalies that compromise network integrity.

As the industry pioneer and thought-leader, Lancope experts frequently speak at conferences throughout the U.S. Currently, Lancope’s Joseph Hamm, senior security engineer, will present "Peering Into the Dark: Internal Security Monitoring with NetFlow/sFlow" at the SecureIT Conference during March 21-24, 2006, in Anaheim, CA, More information about the topic and the conference are available at http://www.secureitconf.com/. In addition, Lancope will be exhibiting at one of the education industry’s leading conferences, EDUCAUSE Security Professionals Conference 2006, held in Denver, CO from April 10-12, 2006. More information about this event is available at http://www.educause.edu/sec06.

"Universities and research institutions have unusual network security requirements compared to most commercial businesses," said Tim McCormick, vice president of marketing for Lancope. "With such massive network environments and an accompanying range of hardware and software platforms, universities and research institutions rely on StealthWatch’s cost-effective detection and response to worms, viruses, spyware and other malicious activity across the internal campus-wide network."

Security continues to gain importance in the higher education sector. A study conducted by the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research on Information Technology Security: Governance, Strategy and Practice reported that approximately 75 percent of IT security leaders in higher education agreed or strongly agreed that IT security was one of the top three issues facing higher education institutions. In that same survey, respondents admitted that they are conducting regular scanning to detect known vulnerabilities on critical systems only 59 percent of the time.

Recently recognized as SC Magazine’s Best Intrusion Detection solution, StealthWatch is increasingly deployed at higher education institutions for scalable security monitoring, actionable contextual network and host intelligence, efficient network troubleshooting and minimal administrative requirements. In 2005, SC Magazine published a case study (available at http://www.lancope.com/news/pdfs/sc_magazine-dartmouth-mar05.pdf), highlighting Dartmouth College’s deployment of StealthWatch which eliminated 90% of malware on the nation’s largest university WI-FI system. By providing continuous network visibility, StealthWatch improves the efficiency and effectiveness of policy compliance and network planning, helping universities and research institutions separate normal network traffic from malicious activity that indicates intentional misuse of critical host and network resources.
