Taipei: Trend Micro, a provider of Internet content security, has announced that it is extending its relationship with Cisco by integrating Trend Micro Web security services into the Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR) platform.
The Cisco IOS Content Filtering solution is an easy-to-deploy, services based offering that delivers real-time global Web filtering data feeds onto Cisco IS
This solution will provide small businesses, educational institutions, branch offices and retailers with a cost-effective way to protect themselves from Web based threats and enforce acceptable use policies for Web traffic.
Cisco IOS Content Filtering, part of the Cisco IOS Integrated Threat Control framework, monitors and regulates all Web activities by blocking or restricting access to certain Web sites. By using Trend Micro?s global network of research, service and support centers committed to constant threat surveillance and attack prevention, the two companies are better able to help businesses mitigate the risks of unrestricted Internet use. Network administrators can use the router management tool to set security policies using keywords or one, or more, of 80-plus categories to limit Internet access. While Web threats are a major issue, Trend Micro?s Web threat protection and URL filtering technologies prevent users from accessing malicious and inappropriate Web sites, avoiding inappropriate use of company resources, legal liability and productivity losses.
Cisco IOS Content Filtering will be available as an optional subscription service for the Cisco 800, 1800, 2800, and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers. The offering will be sold and supported by Cisco and its authorized channel partners.
