ATLANTA and LONDON, April 22 /PRNewswire/ --

- Leading University Leverages sFlow for End-to-End Network Visibility -

Infosecurity Europe 2008 -- Lancope(R), Inc., the provider of the
StealthWatch(TM) System, the most widely used network behaviour analysis
(NBA) and response solution, today announced that the University of
Westminster is using StealthWatch for internal network monitoring as an
enhancement to its existing perimeter security. The University of Westminster
supports over 22,000 students and 1,500 faculty and staff across multiple
locations with a network infrastructure that includes Foundry Networks and
ProCurve Network by HP core and edge devices along with ProCurve and Proxim
Wireless appliances. Excelling in this multi-vendor environment alongside
several security services and network management platforms, StealthWatch
leverages sFlow data from network devices to offer end-to-end network
visibility.

Building on its perimeter firewall and intrusion detection/prevention
platforms, the University of Westminster selected StealthWatch to actively
monitor for anomalous activity throughout the network. StealthWatch was able
to alert the University's network team to increasing levels of anomalous
behavior and the presence of viruses, Trojans and spyware. In addition,
StealthWatch has helped the University monitor peer-to-peer traffic and
increased bandwidth consumption due to Web 2.0 applications.

"Network visibility is paramount for us and StealthWatch has greatly
increased our network insight, especially with regard to internal traffic,"
said Lee Rose, Network Manager for the University of Westminster. "The sheer
amount of information StealthWatch provides is quite amazing and we are able
to view our network in ways we never thought possible. The solution is
helping us to proactively maintain a healthy, reliable network."

Prior to StealthWatch, the University could diagnose network problems but
struggled to pinpoint the root causes. The network team used a combination of
tools to identify the source of network issues, including IDS platforms,
firewall logs and network management systems, and often had to trawl through
router and switch logs and IP routing tables. Now, StealthWatch collects and
analyses flow data from network infrastructure into a central repository for
more streamlined network and security management.

"StealthWatch enables us to produce very detailed reports that illustrate
the quantity of traffic consuming bandwidth and the exact location of trouble
spots," said Rose. "The reports can reflect real time or historical activity
depending on our needs. With our limited resources, StealthWatch has greatly
improved our ability to optimise network performance."

Rose added, "StealthWatch is an enabler that not only provides you with
visibility, but also ability. StealthWatch offers an opportunity to move from
reactive to proactive and to be able to lock down those occasions when you
just don't know! I am confident that StealthWatch will become one of the
mainstays of our network and along with the other tools in our toolkit will
help us to maintain a healthy and reliable network."

"The University of Westminster had already made considerable investments
in perimeter security and wanted to strengthen its internal network in a
similar fashion," said David Schwickerath, vice president of International
Field Operations for Lancope. "The network team recognised StealthWatch as a
powerful tool for increased network visibility. So far, StealthWatch has
helped the University bolster security from the inside out, and it is also
optimising network operations."

During Infosecurity Europe 2008 on Tuesday 22 April, 2008, Rose will join
industry peers and fellow Lancope customers -- Paul Kennedy, Security and
Compliance Group Leader for University of Nottingham, and Mark Pleunes,
Network Manager for Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam University -- for a one-hour
panel discussion about how and why top universities choose StealthWatch
Network Behaviour Analysis to address their network and security challenges.
