Lancope's StealthWatch Named "Hot Pick" by Information Security Magazine

Lancope continues to lead emerging Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) market

ATLANTA, December 5, 2006— Lancope, Inc., the provider of StealthWatch®, the most widely used network behavior analysis (NBA) and response solution, announced today that StealthWatch has been named a “Hot Pick” by Information Security Magazine in its December issue. Editors singled out StealthWatch as a Hot Pick for its ability to deliver “a holistic view of the network, enabling real-time monitoring of traffic and response to three-alarm events, such as zero-day attacks, compliance violations and corporate espionage.” Information Security editors award the “Hot Pick” for an information security product that offers a unique approach to a persistent security problem and addresses the problem with a realistic solution that can be implemented in everyday IT environments.

“We are very proud that StealthWatch has been selected for the Hot Pick Award by Information Security Magazine,” said Harland LaVigne, president and CEO of Lancope. “This recognition reflects our commitment to lead the network behavior analysis market with a superior solution that optimizes security and network operations.”

StealthWatch performed outstandingly across each of the four evaluation criteria: Configuration/Management, Policy Control, Effectiveness and Reporting.  The reviewers were “impressed with StealthWatch's security and network analysis, its ability to pick out anomalous events without using signatures, and the automated user tracking through the IDentity, allowing [them] to trace offending connections to individual users.”  They applauded StealthWatch’s dashboards, which “provide an almost overwhelming amount of useful real-time data and historical analysis” and its “extensive reporting for network operations, identity tracking and external events.”  Praising StealthWatch’s ability “to create customized views and delegate operations,” the reviewers believe that “being able to feed group-specific information to network operations, the security team, or the legal department, will save time and headaches.”

StealthWatch is the first flow-based solution to unify network performance monitoring with behavior-based anomaly detection to deliver total network visibility, ensuring network security, performance and availability. Expanding beyond the capabilities of traditional network security products, StealthWatch collects, categorizes and analyzes network traffic to create comprehensive security intelligence at both network and host levels. Providing a cost-effective, single point of reference for optimizing security and network operations, StealthWatch enables organizations to improve the network health and security posture of their networks.
