Lancope Shares Best Practices for Using NetFlow to Optimize Network Security and Performance

ATLANTA, Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lancope, Inc., a leader in flow-based security, network and application performance monitoring, will host a complimentary webinar on Wednesday, November 16 at 11:00 a.m. ET / 8:00 a.m. PT. Lancope CTO, Adam Powers, will discuss how organizations can make the most of the flow data in their existing infrastructure to dramatically improve both network performance and security. To register for the event, please visit: http://www.lancope.com/news-events/webinars/configuring-netflow-best-practices/.  

Organizations that effectively leverage flow data can obtain the crucial, actionable intelligence needed to prevent sophisticated cyber attacks and other disruptive network issues. "All of the information required to achieve a high-performance, secure environment is readily available within network flows," said Powers. "The key is knowing how to access and apply the flow data to bring maximum value to the enterprise."

There are many solutions that simply collect and store flow data, or that provide limited analysis capabilities. The solutions that dig deeper can deliver visibility into all network communications, helping administrators easily uncover any type of issue in any segment of the network at any time.
