We feel like a bit like a proud parent this morning as we read the news coverage about the new Cisco SIO To Go iPhone app. We’ve worked very closely with Michael Weir, Cisco security marketing director, and his team over the past few months, so we share the excitement they’re feeling right now. You can download the app from the iTunes store here.
Here are a few of the reports:
- CNET
Cisco launches iphone security app - NetworkWorld
Cisco’s free iPhone app grabs security feeds - TechCrunch
Cisco Lets You Access Network Security Information On The Go Via iPhone App - CNNMoney
Global Security Information Now On-the-Go With Cisco iPhone Application
“The app is designed for professionals and security geeks, not the average consumer,” Weir said in the CNET article above. And there’s no doubt about that. The average consumer may not even understand some of the terminology used in the application, let alone why this app might be important. Network managers, however, will have easy access to information about malware sigs, threat mitigation bulletins, ways to see if sites are compromised, links to podcasts and videos, and can create personalized alerts to show security threats that could impact their network. Instant access to accurate information should make the job of dealing with the constant attack on networks a bit easier to manage.
An update to the app the provides additional features is already in progress.
