The joint effort advances Trend Micro's Enterprise Protection Strategy (EPS), which provides proactive management of the network worm and virus outbreak life cycle, Glessner added. Cisco has licensed additional Trend Micro technology that will extend threat-prevention capabilities and include additional features such as vulnerability assessment, outbreak prevention and damage cleanup, he said.
In a separate announcement, Cisco last week unveiled managed virtualization capabilities for the Cisco Firewall Services Module and introduced the Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector XT 5600 and the Cisco Guard XT 5650. The latter devices are high-performance network security appliances, which Cisco obtained via its recent Riverhead Networks acquisition, that are designed to deliver automated protection against distributed denial-of-service attacks in enterprise and service provider networks.
The Firewall Services Module provides enterprise and service provider customers with a scalable, efficient way of deploying differentiated security services without having to roll out a dedicated physical device. Managed virtualization lets a single physical Firewall Services Module in a Catalyst 6500 switch act as many virtual devices or "contexts."
The Firewall Services Module is available now and starts at $12,500. The Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector XT 5600 and the Cisco Guard XT 5650 will be available by July 1, with pricing to be set at $45,000 and $90,000, respectively.
