Cisco: We are the world’s largest security companies – IDG.se

Cisco


that it is much focus on the internet of things and innovation during the Cisco Live is hardly surprising. But when the company on its mega event invites and encourages its customers and partners to build new exciting solutions in what you choose to call “the fourth IT era”, it is still a question that always comes back, and that has become increasingly important for Cisco. Safety.

In a world where everything is connected, security is of course a very important issue for our customers. And new times also means a new game plan for security companies.

 And during the event’s first day will return a message several times, which Cisco says has been unknown, but if they get to decide, hardly to be there anymore. And it is that Cisco today sees itself as the world’s largest security companies.

 

 - With 5000 employees in the safety part, and revenues of around $ 2 billion, we are the largest security company in the earth, says Adam Philpott, who heads the Cyber ​​Security in EMEA.

 

 But Cisco is not alone in drawing the safety map. While other IT giants like IBM and Dell is the company after several acquisitions aspires security throne.

 

 Both Cisco and IBM announced in their annual reports that they increased their security revenue by 12 percent last year, and this trend appear to continue. And despite the fact that the security element constitutes only a fraction of the company’s total revenues so it has more revenue than niche players such as Palo Alto, Proofpoint, Fortinet and FireEye.

 

 And during the day there has been considerable focus on the particular security at Cisco Live. Among other things, released a new product, Cisco Firepower 4100 Series, which they have chosen to call “next generation firewall”. With the aim to that they have chosen to focus on threats instead of, as many other security products, focus on application level.

 - Instead of putting hardware on the hardware and have several different manufacturers, we want to help customers consolidate their products with a highly scalable product. With this, we will also be able to offer partners delivery service, said Adam Philpott and notes that Radware is already contracted as a first partner in this context.

 

 - The idea is that all the acquisitions we have made will be integrated in the product and we also take the help of NSS Labs. From what I can see so nobody but us to do this today.
