(InfoWorld) - Juniper Networks and Symantec will jointly work on unified threat management (UTM) and intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) products, and in the long term will extend their partnership to antivirus and threat detection. The pairing, announced Tuesday, will first aim to enhance Juniper's UTM and IDP offerings, with its Integrated Security Platforms integrated with Symantec's antispam IDP/IPS (intrusion protection systems) signatures, vulnerability information and research. Juniper, in Sunnyvale, California, provides products for building IP (Internet Protocol) networks, while Symantec, in Cupertino, California, is a security-software vendor with products for individual PC users and companies. The partnership will pair the network protection element of Juniper's business with the desktop security provided by Symantec. The companies will also integrate their existing endpoint compliance and access control products to develop standards-based enforcement and compliance software, they said in a webcast. They will keep working jointly to support the Trust Network Connect open standard, which is a set of nonproprietary network access control specifications. The products that are expected to emerge from the partnership will be marketed and sold by both companies. Meanwhile, Symantec will recommend Juniper's integrated security and IDP products to its enterprise customers and Juniper will likewise market and sell Symantec security content as part of its Integrated Security Solutions portfolio. The "drivers" for the partnership are to provide better security to customers, enabling faster response to threats and more comprehensive security coverage, said John W. Thompson, the chairman and chief executive officer of Symantec during the webcast.

(InfoWorld) - Over the next few months, Cisco plans to enhance a range of its security products, offering customers an integrated and improved line of products. The company plans a major new release to the software that runs its Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) product. Also in the works are updates to the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Cisco Security Agent (CSA), Cisco Security Manager (CSM), and Mitigation Analysis and Response System (MARS). The upcoming Version 8.0 of the ASA software will include about 120 enhancements, but perhaps most significantly, its AnyConnect VPN client will now work on a much broader range of platforms, including Windows Vista, Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Edition. "We're extending this out of the traditional realm of just laptops," said Bob Berlin, a Cisco senior product marketing manager. Cisco is also improving the information-sharing capabilities between its IPS 6.0 and CSA 5.2 software to make the products better able to identify and block emerging threats. Another new feature will allow CSA to assign quality-of-service tagging to network traffic so performance can be boosted on applications such as VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol). Using engineering talent it acquired in its 2004Â purchase of Riverhead Networks, Cisco has also developed new algorithms that allow the IPS software to better analyze potentially malicious activity on the network. The ISA software will also be better integrated and easier to manage with the upcoming version 3.1 of CSM. After years of acquisitions, Cisco is just now starting to hook its security products together, said Robert Whiteley, a senior analyst with Forrester Research. This is critical if Cisco wants to maintain its new position as a player in the security space, he said. "Whether people acknowledge it or not, Cisco is one of the largest security vendors," Whiteley said. "But they haven't had quite as much of an integrated story as you'd see from a [security ] specialist." Cisco has had a lot of integrating to do. The company has made about 10 security-related acquisitions in the past three years. The company now posts more than $2 billion in annual security product sales and employs more than 1,400 security engineers, according to Richard Palmer, senior vice president of Cisco's Security Technology Group. Cisco may be starting to integrate its existing security products now, but it would also like to extend its offerings to address new areas such as data leakage, a hot new area in the security field. "That's certainly an area where we're going to be investing, " Palmer said.
