Cisco Systems Tuesday unveiled partnerships with several security vendors under a new Cisco program aimed at combating network security threats such as worms and viruses.
Under the Cisco Network Admission Control program, Cisco is joining forces with Network Associates, Symantec and Trend Micro to integrate technology in an effort to contain security threats before they cause damage, said John Chambers, president and CEO of Cisco, San Jose, Calif., in a statement.
"As the network continues to be a mission-critical business system for organizations of all sizes, a top priority for customers is securing their information assets and minimizing the impact of viruses and worms," Chambers said.
Cisco's new Network Admission Control functionality gives customers the ability to restrict network access from devices such as PCs, servers and PDAs that are not compliant with their established security policies in areas such as operating system patch level or antivirus state.
