Blog:a Lot of Major Security Annoucements — Strangely Buried in One Big Press Release.

Cisco Expands Security Services Into the Cloud to Help Businesses Collaborate With Confidence -> News@Cisco

Cisco IPS Sensor Software Version 7.0:

Global Correlation for intru­sion pre­ven­tion sys­tem (IPS) har­nesses the power of Cisco Security Intelligence Operations, a power­ful threat-​​defense eco­sys­tem, to achieve unpre­ced­en­ted threat-​​protection effic­acy. Cisco turns global threat data cap­tured from a massive foot­print of secur­ity devices into dynamic updates and action­able intel­li­gence, such as ‘repu­ta­tion’ scores, and pushes that intel­li­gence out to a business’s net­work secur­ity infra­struc­ture for pro­tect­ive action. By incor­por­at­ing Global Correlation, Cisco IPS 7.0 is up to two times as effect­ive in stop­ping mali­cious attacks, in a shorter amount of time, than tra­di­tional signature-​​only IPS technologies.

Cisco ASA 5500 Series 8.2 Software:

This offer­ing in the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances fam­ily is designed to enhance end-​​to-​​end secur­ity for offices of all sizes, improv­ing threat mit­ig­a­tion and enabling com­pan­ies to more securely con­nect, com­mu­nic­ate and con­duct busi­ness. With a new Botnet Traffic Filter for identi­fy­ing infec­ted cli­ents, IPS avail­ab­il­ity for small offices, and increased cli­ent­less remote-​​access cap­ab­il­it­ies, Cisco now offers sup­port for the widest range of plat­forms, oper­at­ing sys­tems and end­points in the industry.

Cisco ASA Botnet Traffic Filter:

The new Botnet Traffic Filter enables Cisco ASA 5500 Series appli­ances to more accur­ately identify infec­ted cli­ents using inform­a­tion from Cisco Security Intelligence Operations: — more than 1,000 threat-​​collection serv­ers that receive inform­a­tion from more than 700,000 sensors and 500 third-​​party feeds. With improved threat intel­li­gence, cus­tom­ers can more accur­ately identify infec­ted cli­ents and stream­line their oper­a­tions so that secur­ity admin­is­trat­ors can focus on the most chal­len­ging threats.

Cisco Remote Access and VPN Enhancements:

Cisco ASA Software Release 8.2 expands remote access cap­ab­il­it­ies with next-​​generation tun­nel­ing and ses­sion per­sist­ence through Cisco AnyConnect Essentials for cor­por­ate and mobile users, thus cov­er­ing the widest range of plat­forms, oper­at­ing sys­tems, and end­points in the industry. Support for the Cisco Virtual Office solu­tion has also been added to the Cisco ASR 1000, allow­ing this wide-​​area net­work aggreg­a­tion plat­form to also act as the head-​​end device for Cisco Virtual Office deploy­ments cap­able of sup­port­ing sev­eral thou­sand remote cli­ents. The Cisco ASR 1000 also now sup­ports GET VPN, allow­ing instant pro­vi­sion­ing of secur­ity ser­vices and deliv­er­ing high-​​performance, highly secure any-​​to-​​any con­nectiv­ity for up to 10,000 Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) tun­nels at up to 7 gig­abits per second of through­put, enabling cus­tom­ers to pri­or­it­ize and deliver data flows effi­ciently to mul­tiple net­work addresses.

Cisco SAFE:

A secur­ity ref­er­ence archi­tec­ture that provides pre­script­ive val­id­ated design guides to help organ­iz­a­tions plan, design and deploy secur­ity solu­tions across the net­work, such as cam­pus offices, the Internet edge, branches and data cen­ters. These blue­prints provide defense-​​in-​​depth guid­ance and best prac­tices for secur­ing data and trans­ac­tions as they tra­verse the network.”
