EMA to moderate panel on emerging technologies that address today's constantly-evolving network and security management challenges

ATLANTA, May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Interop Las Vegas -- Lancope, Inc., a leader in flow-based security, network and application performance monitoring, will join a panel of industry experts at Interop Las Vegas to present on the changing network management landscape. The panel discussion titled "Advances in Network Management" will take place on Thursday, May 12, from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. PT in Mandalay Bay as part of the conference's networking track. It will be moderated by Jim Frey, managing research director at Enterprise Management Associates, Inc., and it will spotlight the most promising emerging network management technologies for today's dynamic, fast-paced network environments.

Constant demands for high network performance and 24/7 availability have quickly become the norm for most enterprise IT teams. Add to that the continuous influx of new devices, increased traffic volumes and innovative trends like virtualization and IT consumerization, and network management looks very different now than it has in the past.

"Today's IT administrators face infinitely greater challenges than they did in previous years," said Adam Powers, CTO of Lancope and a speaker on the panel. "Traditional network management and security tools are no longer enough to maintain secure, high-performance networks in the current technology environment. Fortunately, in recent years, the industry has developed several network and security innovations that fill in the gaps where traditional tools leave off, empowering IT teams to effectively address current and future challenges."

One such innovation, Lancope's StealthWatch system, delivers comprehensive network visibility across physical and virtual environments by leveraging NetFlow™ and other flow data from existing routers and switches. By unifying security, network and application performance monitoring in a single platform, StealthWatch eliminates network blind spots, cuts network and security management costs and dramatically reduces the time from problem onset to resolution.

StealthWatch uncovers not only the sophisticated, externally-launched attacks that often bypass perimeter defenses, but also internal threats such as policy violations, network misuse, misconfigurations and data leakage that traditional security solutions are not designed to detect. Alongside flow-based monitoring and anomaly detection, the system features advanced capabilities such as application and identity awareness to further expedite troubleshooting, assist in forensic investigations and support compliance initiatives.

As Lancope's panel speaker, Powers is a leading innovator in the development of next-generation network behavior anomaly detection solutions. He has a decade of operational and engineering experience in enterprise IP security technologies.
