Cisco launches free security application for iPhone
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 20, 2009 (Xinhua via COMTEX) --
Cisco on Friday announced
the launch of a free application for Apple's iPhone, which the
networking giant said can give users real-time access to
actionable security information while they are on the go.
Called SIO To Go, the application is powered by Cisco Security
Intelligence Operations (SIO), a system which gathers security
information from various sources including more than 700,000
globally deployed Cisco security devices.
The application enables users to respond in real time to alerts
and threats to the network by delivering early warning
intelligence, threat vulnerability and proven mitigation solutions
to users' iPhones as they occur, Cisco said.
Through the application, users will be able to get personalized
alerts to show only those security threats that could impact their
network.
"Enabling borderless networks is critical for today's business
success," Marie Hattar, Cisco's vice president of network systems
solutions marketing, said in a statement.
"A key component of enabling individuals to connect to their
business networks from anywhere is working to ensure that the
network is protected regardless of the device used. Our new Cisco
SIO To Go iPhone application is another important step in making
this vision a reality," Hattar added.
