Cisco Systems, Inc. and Trend Micro Inc. announced a joint collaboration to deliver comprehensive virus and worm outbreak prevention solutions to help protect networked businesses. The new agreement is an extension of the companies relationship previously established in the Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) program, and will integrate Cisco network infrastructure and security solutions with Trend Micros antivirus technologies, vulnerability assessment, and real-time outbreak prevention capabilities.
This joint solution enhances the Cisco Self-Defending Network security strategy that enables customers to identify, prevent and adapt to security threats. It also advances the award-winning Trend Micro Enterprise Protection Strategy (EPS), which provides proactive management of the virus and worm outbreak lifecycle. This effort also underscores the need to employ multiple levels of defense in addressing complex and ever-changing security threats.
"While combating network worms, reinfections, vulnerability, and system damage, customers continue to suffer business disruption, so the demand for more sophisticated threat prevention methods increases, said Steve Chang, CEO and founder of Trend Micro Inc. "Ciscos work to facilitate deployment of Trend Micros outbreak prevention solutions and services into Cisco networking and security products will provide customers with real-time protection at the network layer. Trend Micro is delighted with Ciscos endorsement of Trend Micros Network Viruswall technology.
Under this agreement, Cisco will initial integrate Trend Micros network virus and worm signatures with the Cisco Intrusion Detection System (IDS) software deployed in Cisco IOS Routers, Cisco Catalyst Switches, and Cisco security appliances. This will provide customers with advanced network antivirus intelligence and an added layer of real-time threat defense from known and unknown network worm attacks.
