IS IT THE NETWORK OR THE STORAGE THAT'S THE PROBLEM?

Midsize and larger businesses often find their IT topology has
become a complex mix of servers, networks and storage systems.
Many of these companies also route long-haul traffic over
fiber-based networks - metropolitan-area networks, WANs and
private optical networks. Who's responsible when a
storage-related problem occurs on a fiber network? For more,

Network World's Cisco News Alert

Cisco teams with Trend Micro on security service
By Robert McMillan, IDG News Service, 09/27/05

Cisco Tuesday is expected to announce a number of new security
features for its networking products, including a security
service it has developed with Trend Micro that is designed to
cut down on the spread of worms and viruses.

The new service, called the Cisco Incident Control System (ICS),
will help network administrators set network security policies
on Cisco hardware based on security information provided by
anti-virus vendor Trend Micro, said Joel McFarland, a product
manager with Cisco's security technology group.

Cisco had already partnered with Trend Micro to make its worm
and virus signatures available via Cisco's Intrusion Prevention
Systems (IPS), and the companies also are working together on
security enhancements for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive
Security Appliance, McFarland said.
