Cognitive Security, also acquired by Cisco, has delivered new functionality with Cognitive Threat Analytics a new option for Cisco Cloud Web Security customers. It uses anomaly detection and behavioral modeling to identify malicious activity and reduce time to discovery of threats operating inside the network.
Both of these new solutions are available on Cisco Cloud Web Security as an optional license.
Cisco is delivering a special release of the Snort engine that includes the new OpenAppID preprocessor. OpenAppID supports application detection and reporting and provides application-layer context with security-related events for improved analysis and remediation.
OpenAppID enables Snort to block or alert on detection of certain applications, thus managing total threat surface.
A library of more than 1,000 OpenAppID detectors will be available at no charge through the Snort community. Community members can create and share additional detectors.
