Lancope will host a complimentary webinar with Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) on Tuesday, Sept. 27, at 11:00 a.m. ET / 8:00 a.m. PT. The webinar will focus on the results of a recent NetFlow adoption survey conducted by the two organizations, which indicated that flow data has become a critical, mainstream tool for improving network visibility, performance and security, displacing conventional probe solutions, and that increased usage is on the horizon.

Conducted in May 2011, the Lancope and EMA survey covers the NetFlow usage, priorities and practices of more than 100 IT professionals from organizations with at least 5,000 employees. Key findings state that:

60 percent of organizations have deployed flow data as an alternative to packet-based monitoring

76 percent of organizations are using flow data for traffic monitoring

61 percent are using flow data for security monitoring

96 percent expect to maintain or expand their use of flow data over the next 12-18 months
