Cisco takes first step in delivering on SecureX vision A year Cisco put forward its vision called SecureX about how it would devise ways that its network products, first its firewalls, would be able to capture information related to user devices, especially tablets and smartphones, to exert context-based security control. Today, Cisco took the first step to deliver on that vision while acknowledging more needs to be done.

Read More Inadequate SSL Certificate Data Threatens IT Security SSL certificates are a fundamental component of secure online transactions, but a new survey finds that a majority of organizations don't know where or how many certificates they actually have, and nearly as many lack an accurate idea of which certificates are about to expire. Venafi CEO Jeff Hudson says this increases organizations' operational, security and audit and compliance risk.
