ATLANTA, March 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cisco Live Melbourne -- Lancope, Inc., a leader in flow-based security and network performance monitoring, today announced the general availability of its StealthWatch® System 6.2, including advanced capabilities for achieving end-to-end network visibility, as well as new virtual deployment options.
