Lancope and Cisco to Present a New Approach for Combating Advanced Cyber Threats
Companies to join guest from independent research firm to deliver a webinar on fending off today's top threats
ATLANTA, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lancope, Inc., a leader in flow-based security and network performance monitoring, will join Cisco and guest, Forrester, to deliver a complimentary webinar on strategies for defending against today's advanced attacks. Taking place on Thursday, November 8 at 2:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. PT, the webinar, entitled "A New Approach for Evolving Cyber Threats," will discuss why today's conventional security controls are no longer enough to fend off sophisticated attacks, and what organizations can do to better protect their networks. Those interested can register at: http://www.lancope.com/news-events/webinars/a-new-approach-for-evolving-cyber-threats/.
According to the August 2012 commissioned Technology Adoption Profile, "Responding To New Threats Requires A New Approach," conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Lancope and Cisco: "Today, information security success is no longer defined by preventing attacks, but instead by how quickly organizations can detect and contain breaches. Many enterprises fail to recognize this important shift, overestimating their ability to stop attackers and focusing on traditional preventative controls as the anchor of their defensive strategy." The study goes on to say: "Enlightened organizations have adopted network flow analysis capabilities to augment their preventative controls, but fail to include the additional context necessary to truly identify malicious activity within their networks."
By revealing exactly what is going on inside a network at any given time, NetFlow, IPFIX and other flow data can help organizations create an always-on sensor grid for detecting bad behavior and potential security risks within the enterprise environment. When leveraged with advanced, flow-based monitoring solutions like Lancope's StealthWatch® System, flow data can significantly improve an organization's risk posture. Coupled with additional context such as identity, reputation, application and device awareness, flow-based monitoring enables security teams to uncover insider threats, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and other sophisticated, targeted attacks lurking in the network.
"Online threat actors continue to adapt their attack methods to evade detection by conventional solutions and remain active in a network for long periods of time," said Tom Albert, vice president of business development for Lancope. "Organizations need to stop relying solely on traditional tools to defend their networks, and begin to supplement them with next-generation solutions that provide not only in-depth internal network visibility, but also advanced threat context for more easily identifying anomalous behaviors."
