ATLANTA, Aug. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lancope, Inc., a leader in flow-based security, network and application performance monitoring, has been named a finalist for the 3rd Annual Golden Bridge Awards in two "Innovations in Information Technology" categories, NetFlow and Network Visibility. The Golden Bridge Awards is the world's premier business awards program, honoring organizations from around the globe. Winners will be honored in New York City on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 during a dinner and presentation.

"For many years, Lancope has been enabling organizations to fully leverage flow data from their existing infrastructure to cost-effectively transform both network and security operations," said Mike Potts, president and CEO of Lancope. "We are honored that the industry is recognizing these efforts and realizing the unique value of flow data for maintaining secure, high-performance networks amidst an ever-evolving technology landscape."

Lancope's StealthWatch® System harnesses the power of NetFlow, sFlow and other flow data to provide unparalleled visibility into network traffic, dramatically improving availability, performance and security. Not relying on signature updates, StealthWatch fills in the gaps between other technologies to uncover not only the sophisticated, zero-day attacks that bypass perimeter defenses, but also internal threats.

The system eliminates network blind spots, cuts network and security management costs and expedites troubleshooting across both physical and virtual environments. Advanced features including application and identity awareness, as well as automatic threat prioritization and mitigation, further improve operations and also make the system ideal for efforts such as forensic investigations and compliance.

By providing a comprehensive view of what is going on in the network at any given time, StealthWatch addresses increasing demands being placed on corporate infrastructure due to trends such as IT consumerization, user mobility, cloud computing, live telepresence and streaming video. StealthWatch is scalable to meet the needs of even the largest enterprises, analyzing up to 3 million flows per second.

The Golden Bridge Awards program encompasses the world's best in organizational performance, products and services, executives and teams, innovations, case studies, product management, public relations, marketing campaigns and customer satisfaction programs from every major industry in the world.
