Cisco launches iPhone security app

Cisco has pushed out a new iPhone application that helps IT managers to respond to newly-detected security threats by the pocket of their pants.

The Cisco 'SIO To Go iPhone' application beams in data from the company's Security Intelligence Operations (SIO) to show a customizable menagerie of security information that could potentially help defend a business network. There are real-time alerts and threat mitigation solutions which come from sources that include more than 700,000 Cisco security devices, the company's historical threat database, 3,300 IPS signatures, and over 600 third-party threat-intelligence sources.


The application also has the ability to check a site or server's 'reputation' powered by IronPort - which shows if it's been attacked by a virus over the past 24 hours. It also includes links to Cisco's security blog, press releases, and Twitter feeds.
