Cisco Systems adds Sourcefire’s application control, IPS, and advanced threat detection to its ASA 5500 firewall. Skyhigh Networks teams up with next-gen firewall vendor Palo Alto Networks to blend cloud-based application control service with PAN’s platform. The integration allows better application of controls to SaaS applications such as employee Dropbox accounts. Cisco’s new ASA firewall helps bring the company back into more direct competition with other next-generation firewalls, experts say. The goal is to minimize the number of security boxes, and to provide a “single pane of glass” to detect threats.”]
