Security Server Agent (Win, Lin, Sol), 1000-Agent Bundle Cisco® Security Agent security software provides threat protection for server, desktop, and Point-of-Service (POS) computing systems. Cisco Security Agent goes beyond conventional endpoint security solutions, providing an industry-leading defense against targeted attacks, spyware, rootkits, and day-zero attacks. Proactive protection is offered against unknown, never-seen-before threats, brand new exploits, and variants trying to take advantage of recently announced vulnerabilities. Cisco Security Agent provides "zero update" system integrity protection for critical servers that cannot be taken out of service to apply operating system or application-specific vulnerability patches. It helps reduce emergency patching of systems to respond to vulnerability announcements, minimizing patch-related downtime and IT manhour expenses. Organizations can now patch on their own schedule, not in crisis mode.

Robust policy compliance controls offer protection for sensitive data files and critical servers. Access to key files, applications, and servers can be monitored or controls enforced to stop inadvertent or malicious data loss. Removable media usage controls reduce risk and ensure workplace compliance. Granular controls may be put in place as needed to manage policy compliance for users, applications, systems, locations, and network addresses.

Cisco Security Agent offers more than a standalone endpoint security solution. It collaborates with network security devices to increase the effectiveness of the overall network deployment. Cisco VPN devices can leverage Cisco Security Agent's personal firewall and host intrusion prevention (HIPS) features to provide robust endpoint security for IP Security (IPSec) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN remote-access users. Host information collected by Cisco Security Agent can be shared with Cisco network IPS devices to enhance the overall awareness and relevancy of the IPS actions taken in the network. The firewall and application inspection capabilities of Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX® security appliances can be enhanced by Cisco Security Agent to examine particular applications based on Cisco Security Agent traffic markings.
