Lancope Demonstrates Suspect Data Loss Alarm in NetFlow-based StealthWatch System at InfoSecurity Europe 2010

ATLANTA AND LONDON, April 27, 2010 - ~ Leading Flow-based Network Performance and Security Monitoring Solution
Detects Data Extrusions Regardless of Data Format, Protocol or Encryption ~

InfoSecurity Europe 2010 — Lancope, Inc., the leader in NetFlow(TM)
collection and analysis (news.lancope.com/press.php?include=141667)
and the provider of the StealthWatch(R) System for flow-based network
performance and security monitoring, today announced that it will demonstrate
the Suspect Data Loss alarm in StealthWatch at InfoSecurity Europe at Stand
E24. Enhancing StealthWatch's ability to protect organizations against data
leakage and improving end-to-end visibility across physical and virtual
networks, the new alarm alerts organizations of potential data extrusions
regardless of data format, protocol or encryption technique.

Recent studies show that the average organizational cost of a single data
breach is close to US$7M and rising (1). Recognizing that data loss
prevention is a top priority for most organizations, Lancope developed the
alarm, which detects anomalous data transfer from any point on the network to
the Internet. Specifically, StealthWatch quickly identifies unusual network
behavior indicative of data loss and provides details about the users
involved, the amount of data transferred, the services used, how long the
communications lasted and if it was a recurring event. StealthWatch is the
only flow-based solution that reduces data loss and scales to monitor global
networks for security, network performance, and virtual operations - all from
a single platform.

The StealthWatch Suspect Data Loss alarm works with any data format or
protocol, including unstructured data schemes commonly used to store employee
identification numbers and private health information. Other data loss
prevention tools require packet-level visibility to detect employee
identification, credit card and social security numbers leaving the network.
This requires the deployment of expensive probes throughout the network, as
well as resource-intensive manual configuration and maintenance. Unlike
traditional DLP tools, StealthWatch neither sits inline on the network nor
requires probes. Rather, StealthWatch collects and analyzes flow telemetry to
cost-effectively deliver visibility across physical and virtual networks.
Extending visibility down to the user identity level, StealthWatch connects
network activity with individual user names, not just IP addresses, to
significantly improve audit controls for regulatory compliance.

Offering organizations increased control of their networks, StealthWatch
enables immediate mitigation actions when a breach is detected, from
triggering a deeper analysis to blocking a specific transaction from
completing to provide time for investigation. All baselines and blocking
actions can be easily modified, including exceptions for traffic amount
thresholds.

"Data loss prevention is top of mind for many organizations, especially
when the costs associated with a breach continue to rise and regulators
impose stiff penalties for losing customer records," said Adam Powers, CTO of
Lancope. "Designed to complement Data Loss Prevention technologies, the
Suspect Data Loss alarm uses NetFlow to detect suspicious uploads without
requiring payload content analysis. By leveraging flow telemetry for detailed
network visibility, StealthWatch is ideally suited to detect and prevent data
breaches — without expensive probes and time-consuming configuration and
maintenance."
