Lancope updated its StealthWatch network behavioral analysis
platform with application awareness and visualization tools to help IT managers
detect and address network problems.
The new StealthWatch platform can analyze up to 1.5 million
flows per second, according to Lancope. It features granular application
awareness, flexible grouping of network assets and relational mapping for
network visualization, Lancope said.
StealthWatch 6.0, announced Feb. 7, collects and analyzes network
data flows and other traffic data to give IT teams end-to-end network
visibility and greater forensic intelligence to identify anomalous activity,
such as traffic spikes, botnet activity and performance degradation, Mike
Potts, president and CEO of Lancope, told eWEEK. StealthWatch represented an “intersection of
network and security,” Potts said, as the platform examines flow data to
identify both network and security issues. Managers can’t identify the problem
if they can’t figure out what’s wrong with the environment, he said.
“Remediation comes later. The first step is to focus on
what’s happening with the network or application,” said Potts. Stealthwatch reduces
the time from problem onset to resolution, he said.
