Cisco focuses on endpoint security
Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:15 EST

Cisco Systems has rolled out the first set of products under its Network Admission Control programme, which is designed to help companies enforce security policies on network endpoint devices such as PCs and mobile systems. The company also said it will seek broader participation from third-party security software vendors in response to complaints that the NAC programme is too proprietary. Currently, Network Associates, Symantec and Trend Micro are the only companies working with Cisco on the endpoint effort, which was announced last autumn.

Among the products released last week was software called Cisco Trust Agent. Cisco said the agent technology can be used on servers and client systems to collect security-related data such as operating system patch levels and the status of antivirus tools.
