Business Wire, Feb 15, 2006

ATLANTA -- Lancope, Inc., the pioneer and market leader in network behavior analysis (NBA) and response solutions with the most enterprise customers, today announced that its StealthWatch System received the SC Magazine 2006 Reader Trust Technology Award for Best Intrusion Detection in the Best Network Security Solution Category. Recognized for its ability to "match the changing nature of threats" and serve as a vital component of network monitoring, StealthWatch was honored among more than 1,300 products and services from over 330 companies. More than 25,000 readers voted for this year's award winners, who were announced at the SC Magazine Award Ceremony during the RSA Conference 2006.

"Receiving this distinguished award from the readers of SC Magazine confirms Lancope's success in delivering cost-effective, scalable anomaly detection solutions that secure the internal network," said Harland LaVigne, president and CEO of Lancope. "Because prevention ultimately fails, enterprises are increasingly looking to solutions like StealthWatch that dramatically reduce the cost and complexity associated with detecting and mitigating internal threats."

The StealthWatch System has proven to be a critical resource to network security professionals. Its robust network intelligence technology continuously monitors and protects the enterprise by collecting, analyzing and prioritizing network flows. StealthWatch delivers unmatched visibility into the most significant network behaviors to pinpoint zero-day attacks, internal misuse and unnecessary network exposures before they become security incidents.

Now in its ninth consecutive year, the SC Awards is the industry's only global information security awards. The awards were developed to highlight professional achievement and technical excellence.
