Today at Cisco Live, Cisco's annual IT and communications conference, Lancope, Inc., a leader in network visibility and security intelligence, will demonstrate how organizations can leverage their network as a security sensor and policy enforcer to detect and mitigate advanced threats and improve incident response times. Lancope will also present additional security sessions this week, as well as showcase its solutions for next-generation cyber threat defense at Cisco Live Booth #1601.
Today's network is increasingly dynamic, managing a constantly evolving infrastructure including cloud, software-defined networking (SDN), mobility and the Internet of Things. By harnessing the network as a security sensor, organizations can leverage the power of this dynamic network to monitor, detect, analyze and respond to stealthy cyber-attacks faster and with greater precision.
Today at 1:00 p.m. PT, Lancope Technical Engineer Matt Robertson will join Cisco to present a better way for fending off advanced external attacks and insider threats in session BRKSEC-2026, "Network as a Sensor and Enforcer." The presenters will explain how to use Lancope's StealthWatch® System along with the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) to obtain greater insight into who and what is on the network. The session will also discuss how Cisco TrustSec can be used to dynamically segment network infrastructure to better protect critical assets.
Gavin Reid, Lancope's vice president of threat intelligence, will also co-present with Cisco on Wednesday, June 10 at 9:15 a.m. PT in session PCSZEN-1003, "Network as a Sensor: Using NetFlow for Incident Response." Attendees will learn how to obtain network visibility across their entire environment – access, distribution, core and edge – to conduct faster root cause analysis and more effective forensic investigations.
"Today's rapidly evolving infrastructure and increasingly sophisticated attackers call for a new security paradigm," said Mike Potts, president and CEO of Lancope. "By leveraging the network as a sensor, organizations can flip the traditional paradigm on its head, harnessing the power of the network to secure all aspects of an organization, rather than viewing the network simply as something that must be secured. Lancope is excited to present alongside Cisco to educate Cisco Live attendees on innovative ways to use existing network capabilities and properties to achieve a better overall IT security posture."
