All security eyes are on San Francisco this week as the RSA Conference kicks off. One vendor with some early news is Cisco Systems Inc., which unveiled a salvo of new offerings in its Cisco Security Cloud. Designed to support and safeguard artificial intelligence, the features aim to help companies protect their applications, devices, users and data.
As the security world descends upon the Moscone Center next week for the RSA Security Conference, two companies that put out some news ahead of the show were Google Cloud and Menlo Security Inc. which announced a partnership to improve the security of enterprise browsers. Under the terms of the agreement, Menlo Security, which pioneered the browser security industry, will expand its usage of Google Cloud infrastructure and, more importantly, collaborate with Google’s Mandiant division on threat research to strengthen browser security.
One of the major themes from last week’s RSA Security conference was the rise of converged network and security platforms as organizations look to consolidate the number of vendors they have and leverage the ubiquity of the network.
