GOVERNMENT

Government organizations play an essential role in protecting critical infrastructure and confidential governmental records. Service interruptions and security failures are serious – a single compromise can disrupt utility, transportation or emergency services for millions. Delivering effective and efficient network management and security can be a major challenge for government agencies. While faced with considerable constraints in staff and financial resources, agencies must ensure the highest-levels of performance in an increasingly open environment that provides streamlined access to contractors, other agencies and, in some cases, commercial businesses and individuals.

With its industry's leading flow analysis engine, Lancope's StealthWatch™ network management and security solutions provide the situational awareness needed to continuously monitor network behavior in real-time, while simultaneously detecting and mitigating any network threat. StealthWatch is Common Criteria Certified (EAL2), plus it gives customers the flexibility of using Cisco NetFlow, sFlow or native flow capture data collection. As a result, StealthWatch helps leverage existing investment in IT infrastructure to increase network reliability and security without adding unnecessary complexity or expense.

StealthWatch is the industry's leading Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) and Response system, which delivers the following benefits for government agencies seeking the most effective, high-value solution currently available:

• Detection, mitigation and resolution of internal and external threats, including stealthy scans, low and slow attacks, new worms and trojans that bypass traditional tools
• Adaptable mitigation of network management and security threats via Automatic, Authorize and Alarm modes
• Continuous, integrated, real-time visibility into network and security operations without installing host-based agents
• Simplified real-time and historical detail of network activity and host behavior
• No ongoing maintenance of signature-based security databases
• Defense against policy violations, such as attempted access to critical network regions from an unauthorized network zone or region of the world
• Automated discovery and profiling of new or unauthorized network devices
• Streamlined, centralized configuration, management and reporting to expedite event resolution across complex network environments

Through several partners who bring security and network expertise to the purchase and deployment of StealthWatch, Lancope offers multiple contract vehicles for government customers, including GSA, SEWP III, ECS III, CAD II and 8(A) Minority Partners (e.g. disabled veteran, Alaska Native and women-owned businesses).
