This was followed by a captivating presentation by Mr. Luca Maiocchi, the Regional Manager of BlueCat Networks, about "BlueCat's IPAM platform". It was a very interactive session with a lot of questions posed by the audience and all in all it was an enriching experience for one and all. BlueCat's fully automated IPAM platform provides powerful centralized management of IP addressing and core network services, together with network intelligence that allows you to find meaningful correlations between users, devices, locations, applications and network activity.

Mr. Luca said, "Businesses struggle to manage their ever-growing network and evolving connectivity needs. Our fully automated IPAM platform allows you to centrally manage every device and connection on your network and find meaningful relationships between users, devices, locations, applications and network activity." Whether it is your home or your corporate Internet network, you are under siege by a host of emerging threats at all access points. It is difficult to pinpoint and isolate threats and defend against malicious intent. BlueCat stops malicious activities before they can reach applications or data. Bluecat provides an added layer of protection against malicious Internet content and infected devices that can compromise networked computing assets and business-critical data. "Our solution allows you to define policies and configure devices for secure network access. We also provide a real-time consolidated view of all devices and network connections, allowing you to isolate non-compliant or rogue devices, locate the source of threats and take action to remove them from the network" he added.
