ATLANTA and LONDON, April 15 /PRNewswire/ --
Infosecurity Conference 2008 -- Lancope(R), Inc., the provider of the StealthWatch(TM) System, the most widely used network behaviour analysis (NBA) and response solution, today announced a panel discussion at Infosecurity Europe 2008, in which several leading universities will discuss how StealthWatch leverages NetFlow and sFlow in its delivery of NBA to secure and continuously monitor high-speed networks.
Managing network security is a major issue for all organizations, but it is especially challenging for the higher education market. Universities require open computing environments that introduce risk and unusual challenges in supporting thousands of students, faculty, staff, global research communities, etc. across massive, high-speed networks. This means that large amounts of network traffic must be continuously monitored in order to keep network operations running smoothly and ensure network uptime. A key challenge that many network and security managers face is finding tools that enable deep insight into traffic flowing throughout the network. Hundreds of universities worldwide have turned to StealthWatch for NBA to address their critical network and security challenges.
WHO: Paul Kennedy, Security and Compliance Group leader, University of Nottingham; Mark Pleunes, Network Manager, Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam (GLR) University; and Lee Rose, Network Manager, University of Westminster WHAT: Customer Panel Discussion: "Why We Selected Lancope's StealthWatch for Network Behaviour Analysis" WHEN: 15:30 - 16:30 UK time Tuesday, 22nd April 2008 WHERE: New Products Theatre at Infosecurity Europe 2008 22nd - 24th April 2008 London, UK http://www.infosec.co.uk/index.cfm
Additionally, Lancope's David Salter, senior systems engineer, will deliver a presentation titled "Flow-based Anomaly Detection" from 14:00-14:25 on 24 April 2008. In this session, he will examine how flow-based anomaly detection leverages NetFlow and sFlow to provide lightweight, cost-effective security monitoring for distributed environments, where sensor-based technologies are expensive and impractical.
