Cisco has announced the release
of the Cisco CSA, the most comprehensive network security
threat protection portfolio for securing corporate networks.
The advanced Cisco Security Agent product provides
threat protection for server and desktop computing
systems, also known as endpoints. The Cisco Security
Agent goes beyond conventional host and desktop security solutions
by identifying and preventing malicious behavior before it
can occur, thereby removing potential known and unknown security
risks that threaten enterprise networks and applications.
This means that the Cisco Security
Agent protects your network against future hack attempts and
viruses which have not yet been written!
CSA is currently the only product
which offers this.
The Cisco CSA aggregates and extends multiple endpoint security
functions by providing host intrusion prevention, distributed
firewall, malicious mobile code protection, operating system
integrity assurance, and audit log consolidation all within
a single agent package.
As high-visibility network security attacks like Code
Red and the SQL Slammer worm have shown, traditional
host and desktop security technologies are limited in their
capability to combat the effects of new and evolving attacks.
Because the Cisco Security Agent analyzes behavior
rather than relying on signature matching, its solution provides
robust protection with reduced operational costs. Customers
require robust endpoint security that prevents security attacks
from affecting the network and critical applications.
Benefits:
- Aggregates and extends multiple endpoint security functions
- the Cisco Security Agent provides host intrusion detection,
distributed firewall, malicious mobile code prevention,
operating system integrity assurance and audit log consolidation,
al in a single agent.

malicious HTML requests and e-mail worms.

and for Unix and Windows platforms.
