Building a Self-Defending Network

In the past network threats were relatively slow moving and easy to defend against. Today, worms and viruses are more sophisticated, and global outbreaks can happen in a matter of minutes. That is why Cisco has developed a vision for the future security of business networks: the Self-Defending Network.
In a nutshell: Every device in the network, from desktops through the LAN and across the WAN, plays a part in securing the networked environment. A self-defending network will identify threats, react appropriately to the severity level, isolate infected servers and desktops, and reconfigure the network resources in response to an attack.
This industry-leading initiative brings together Secure Connectivity, Threat Defense, and Trust and Identity Management with the capability of infection containment and rogue device isolation in a single scalable solution that can be managed centrally.
