Siemens E&A designs and builds industrial-grade electrical components and manufacturing controls for a wide variety of customers. Siemens E&A needed a proactive solution-one that did not require signature updates and frequent patching to avoid network exploitation. Siemens E&A implemented Cisco Security Agent, which uses behavior-based assessment to identify and prevent malicious behavior on servers and endpoints. It eliminates both known and unknown ("Day Zero") security risks. Cisco Security Agent aggregates and extends multiple endpoint security functions by providing host intrusion prevention, distributed firewall capabilities, malicious mobile code protection, operating system integrity assurance, and audit log consolidation.
