Cisco Focuses on Security for Internet of Things Era
Cisco's security chief discusses security in the Internet of things era as software-defined networking is set to take hold.
As the Internet opens ups to connect more things and networking models move from physical devices to a virtualized software-defined networking (SDN) model, security needs to be top of mind. That's the message that Chris Young, senior vice president for Cisco's security business unit, is driving both within Cisco and to the market as a whole.
In a video interview with eWEEK, Young explains the security risks and the model needed for the emerging Internet of things era. Young leads Cisco's security business unit and is taking an active role in working with Cisco's Internet of things (IoT) business teams to embed security throughout.
