Ciscointroduced a set of security solutions designed specifically for data centres.
According to Cisco, there are new threats facing data centres that move toward more consolidated and virtualized environments. This new security suite will also make provisions for new cloud-based models. Collectively, the offerings extend data center and security professionals’ power to enforce end-to-end security for high-capacity data centers and mobile workforces. The offerings include new highly scalable software for firewalls.
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client will also be part of the package for mobile requirements.
Christopher Young, the senior vice president and general manager of Security and Government Group for Cisco said for enterprises to confidently seize the business benefits offered by data center virtualization and the cloud, security must be seen as the art of the possible, not as a hindrance. As with the rest of your network, we make consistent security a deployment decision that enables policies to work throughout hybrid environments — physical, virtual and cloud — and enables data center professionals to deliver IT as a service with a high degree of security without impeding network performance.
