Enhancements to Endpoint Defense, Firewalls, Intrusion Prevention, Router Security, And Security Management Bolster Network, Endpoint, Application, And Content Protection
Cisco recently announced a number of enhancements across its portfolio of self-defending network solutions, from network security offerings into a broader systems approach that strengthen the overall protection of networks as well as the increasingly diverse number of endpoints, applications, and content that utilize them.
Scott Weiss, vice president and general manager of the security technology group at Cisco, said, "Today we are announcing a variety of products and capabilities that enhance our systems-based security, as well as new innovations that push the boundaries of security, visibility and manageability."
The enhancements are designed to enable businesses to protect their IT infrastructures against malware and address security requirements like data loss prevention, corporate policy compliance, and regulatory compliance. The enhancement features endpoint protection, intrusion prevention, network- and application-based firewalls, security monitoring and analysis, centralized policy management, and other software and hardware enhancements.
These include Cisco Security Agent 6.0, Cisco Intrusion Prevention System 6.1, Cisco Security Monitoring Analysis Response System 6.0, Cisco Security Manager 3.2, incorporation of Web filtering into Cisco Integrated Services Routers, an upgrade to the Cisco Firewall Services Module for switches, and new features for Cisco's Web application firewall and voice-aware Cisco IOS Firewall.
