WAN Optimization

Lancope’s StealthWatch® System is the leading Network Behavior Analysis solution worldwide. Delivering visibility across physical and virtual networks, StealthWatch eliminates network blind spots and reduces total network and security management costs.

As Enterprises struggle with bandwidths constraints, application latency and limited budgets, it is more important than ever to maximize the value from your WAN Optimization devices. Delivering unified visibility across physical and virtual networks, StealthWatch cost-effectively maximizes these devices by:

  • Containing costs—StealthWatch’s network-wide visibility enables more intelligent bandwidth upgrade decisions. As well, StealthWatch provides non-intrusive, agentless host security eliminating the administrative burdens so often associated with traditional IDS/IPS devices and host agents.
  • Expediting troubleshooting efforts and time to resolution— StealthWatch provides instant access to a host-centric view of network application usage and traffic pattern analysis to help identify applications abusing well known ports. Moreover, real time StealthWatch troubleshooting enables quicker modifications to QoS and traffic management policies within your WAN Opt controller.
  • Demonstrating compliance—StealthWatch extends the value of WAN Opt controllers in several ways, one of which is to utilize them for network security mitigation purposes. Identify malicious or suspicious hosts with StealthWatch and control the threat and/or behavior with your WAN Opt device(s)
  • Identifying WAN Opt candidates—Enterprise-wide views of interface bandwidth consumption and traffic composition identifies most congested areas of your network and consumption by service.
  • Promoting high network availability—StealthWatch helps lock down host application usage without adding choke points. By quickly identifying trouble spots on the network, StealthWatch promotes greater network availability.
