London: Lancope, Inc., a leader in network visibility and security intelligence, has released the newest version of its award-winning StealthWatch®System, which has enhanced network security posture for 89% of surveyed IT security officers according to a recent survey of Lancope customers.
Delivering advanced levels of network insight, StealthWatch 6.3 enables organisations to reduce the risks associated with sophisticated cyber-attacks while significantly enhancing their network reliability and integrity.
“In today's increasingly hostile threat environment, organisations must assume that they have already been compromised by sophisticated attacks that easily bypass traditional security controls,” said Lancope CTO Amrit Williams. “Security is no longer about trying to prevent the compromise, but is instead about limiting the impact when it occurs. This requires a shift in focus from perimeter-based defences that monitor inbound (ingress) traffic to solutions that provide deep visibility of all internal network communications.”
By performing behavioral analysis on NetFlow, IPFIX and other types of flow data, StealthWatch provides the in-depth network visibility needed to more effectively address emerging challenges including APTs, insider threats, DDoS, sophisticated malware and BYOD. Advanced functionality including virtual, identity, device and application awareness provides additional context for more streamlined troubleshooting.
With a 259% return on investment (ROI) within three years according to a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting[i], StealthWatch delivers tangible benefits for enterprises:
The American Cancer Society reduced the time it took to mitigate a security incident by more than 75% with StealthWatch.[ii]
Central Michigan University reduced mitigation time for security incidents by 25% to 49% with StealthWatch.[iii]
