Lancope Selected as Technology Partner by igxglobal to Offer Customers Unprecedented Network Visibility, Performance and Security

ATLANTA, June 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lancope, Inc., a leader in flow-based security, network and application performance monitoring, has announced that it will partner with igxglobalinc., a global integrator of security and network infrastructure products with world headquarters in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.  igxglobal is dedicated to helping customers create and maintain networks that are flexible, secure, efficient and scalable. Through this partnership, the company will expand the reach of Lancope's StealthWatch^® monitoring system, enabling more organizations around the world to benefit from unprecedented levels of network visibility, performance and security.

"As an organization committed to providing customers with the best-of-breed network and security technologies in the market, we are excited to add Lancope's StealthWatch to our portfolio," said Media Landry, Vice President of Sales and Partner Relations at igxglobal.

"Organizations can no longer solely rely on traditional, signature-based technology to secure their environments from ever-changing threats," said Barry Johnson, President and CTO of igxglobal. "Instead, they must look toward using flow-based anomaly detection and network performance monitoring solutions such as Lancope's StealthWatch in conjunction with deployed security devices for a holistic approach in securing their IT infrastructure."

StealthWatch fills in the gaps between other network and security technologies to provide faster troubleshooting and more secure, high-performance networks. Not relying on signature updates, the system uncovers both zero-day attacks that bypass perimeter defenses, as well as insider threats such as policy violations, network misuse, device misconfigurations, unauthorized access and data leakage.

Advanced features including application and identity awareness, as well as automatic threat prioritization and mitigation, reduce the time from problem onset to resolution, and also make StealthWatch an ideal solution for forensic investigations and compliance initiatives. StealthWatch is scalable to meet the needs of even the largest networks, analyzing up to 1.5 million flows per second, and also provides visibility into virtual networks.

"Collecting and analyzing NetFlow and other flow data from existing routers and switches, StealthWatch provides an innovative and cost-effective means of achieving end-to-end network visibility for significantly increased performance, security and compliance levels," said Mike Potts, President and CEO of Lancope. "Our main goal at Lancope is to help organizations experience the unique power of NetFlow to dramatically improve their networks, and we are confident that the specialized skills and expertise of igxglobal will play a valuable role in this mission moving forward."

Lancope and igxglobal will host a joint webinar "Filling in the Security Gaps with Flow-based Monitoring" on July 13, 2011 at 8:00 am PT / 11:00 am ET. During the complimentary webinar, the two companies will discuss how enterprises and government organizations can leverage flow-based monitoring tools like StealthWatch for vastly improved network and security operations.
