SAN JOSE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 4, 2008 --
What: On February 5, 2008, three top security executives from Cisco (NasdaqGS:CSCO - News) will host an interactive Internet TV broadcast spotlighting new global research that reveals the "human side" of enterprise security challenges and their effect on the evolution of threats. The security executives will share their perspectives on how businesses can evolve risk management approaches, and how CIOs and their IT teams can lead this effort, especially as workers become more distributed. The discussion will highlight:

 
--  The evolution of security threats and insight into future challenges:
    From standalone viruses to blended content security threats to
    collaborative threats involving online, physical, identity, legal,
    geopolitical, and other factors.
--  Research findings on security perceptions and risky behavior of remote
    workers in 10 countries and how, if unchecked, they can heighten risks for
    businesses and employees.
--  How behavior influences the threat landscape, and how businesses
    should subsequently adapt risk management strategies and approaches.
--  Annual security reports from Cisco that underscore vulnerabilities and
    security challenges ranging from spam and identity theft to physical and
    geopolitical threats.
--  Live Q&A: Media and analysts can ask the executives questions
    throughout the broadcast.

Who: John N. Stewart, Cisco chief security officer, and Dave Goddard, vice president of security intelligence; hosted by Marie Hattar, senior director of security solutions.
