 - Attendees will learn how to leverage flow data to gain unprecedented network insight and protect large, global enterprises from increasingly sophisticated attacks

Infosecurity Europe - Lancope, Inc., a leader in flow-based security and network performance monitoring, is teaming up with Cisco to present a session entitled, "Network Visibility Today to Secure Tomorrow's Network" at Infosecurity Europe, taking place in London from April 24-26. The network and security experts will discuss how even the largest, global enterprises can leverage their existing network infrastructure to obtain valuable insight and visibility for vastly improved system performance and risk mitigation.

Infosecurity Europe is the number one information security event in Europe, attracting more than 10,000 attendees and 300 vendors. More information on the Lancope and Cisco session, scheduled for Wednesday, April 25 at 2:40 p.m. BST, can be found at: http://www.infosec.co.uk/page.cfm/action=Seminars/SeminarID=49.

"In addition to intensified cyber attacks, today's enterprises must also effectively address constantly evolving technology trends including virtualization, user mobility and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) environments," said Chris Smithee, network security lead for Lancope. "Network visibility is the key to adapting to these trends and challenges without sacrificing security, performance or compliance."   

As network security lead, Lancope's Smithee is focused on flow-based detection and analysis of information security and network events. He will present the Infosecurity Europe session alongside Mark Jackson, security solutions architect with Cisco UK. Having joined Cisco in 1997, Jackson currently works closely with many of the UK's largest government departments, advising on a wide range of security topics. Lancope and Cisco have partnered to provide unprecedented network insight and protection for large, global enterprises.

Mutual customers can expand upon the Cisco identity-aware security framework by obtaining internal monitoring from Lancope that delivers complete visibility across the core, distribution and access layers of the network. By cost-effectively collecting and analyzing NetFlow from a wide range of Cisco networking devices including Catalyst Switches, the ASA platform and Cisco's Identity Services Engine (ISE), Lancope's StealthWatch® System protects organizations against the full range of threats facing today's networks - from advanced persistent threats (APTs) to damaging insider attacks.

Flow-based monitoring enables organizations to gain situational awareness and increased visibility for accelerated incident response. In addition to tightening security measures, it can also help with efforts including performance optimization, forensic investigations, capacity planning, help desk troubleshooting and compliance, among others.

Join Lancope and Cisco and begin leveraging flow-based monitoring alongside existing networking devices to maximize security and performance from the core to the edge.
