By integrating security everywhere, enterprises and service providers gain the ability to deliver the threat-centric security requirements demanded by today's dynamic threat landscape and capture emerging business opportunities created by the rise of the Digital Economy and the Internet of Everything (IoE).
The IoE market is expected to generate $19-tn in value to organizations over the next decade, and represents a $1.7-tn opportunity to service providers (Cisco Consulting Services, 2013). Cisco is installing security throughout the extended network to minimize the complexity of managing security across a distributed organization and to increase threat visibility into the farthest reaches of the enterprise. Cisco is adding more sensors to increase visibility; more control points to strengthen enforcement; and pervasive, advanced threat protection to reduce time-to-detection and time-to-response, limiting the impact of attacks.
