More than 700 customers around the world rely on Lancope to dramatically improve their cybersecurity and incident response procedures while minimizing enterprise risk.

VCE Vblock Systems provide rapid deployments and dramatically lower IT costs by offering pre-integrated, pre-tested and pre-validated IT infrastructures that combine best-in-class compute, network, storage, data protection and virtualization technologies from Cisco, EMC and VMware, delivered as a single product with unified support. With Vblock Ready certification, Lancope can now provide customers with the assurance that the StealthWatch System is interoperable with Vblock Systems and can deliver the efficiency and agility of virtualization and cloud computing.
