Cisco's differentiated threat intelligence solution offers
insights into the behaviors, patterns, and tendencies of threat
actors for greater accuracy of threat detection
SINAGPORE, Feb. 23, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the email
security market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Cisco with the
2020 Asia-Pacific Email Security Vendor of the Year Award. Cisco
continues to reign at the top of the revenue leaderboard, with a
16.8% market share across Asia-Pacific. Exceptional customer impact,
visionary innovation, and performance have established Cisco as the
market leader in Hong Kong,
India, Indonesia, the
Philippines, Singapore, and
Thailand.
"Cisco has built a wide customer base across many verticals and
has gained particular traction among service providers and banking,
financial services, and insurance customers," said Lim Qi Yong,
Associate, ICT Practice at Frost & Sullivan. "Recently, it
started experiencing strong demand from the government, education,
and manufacturing sectors as well. This growth is a result of
Cisco's industry-leading email security products, especially its
core email security product, Cisco Email Security. One of the most
comprehensive email security solutions in the market, it covers all
of the major functions, such as blocking and detecting threats and
defending against phishing, spam, and data contained within
emails."
Cisco stands out with its Talos threat intelligence solution,
which effectively determines, analyzes, contextualizes, predicts,
and handles cyberthreats. Talos gathers and processes threat data
from its email security products and from its entire cybersecurity
portfolio. This technology allows it to generate unparalleled
insights into the behaviors, patterns, and tendencies of threat
actors, which, in turn, block a greater number of unwanted email
threats while keeping false positives and negatives to a minimum.
Furthermore, it integrates a variety of add-on features, such as
Advanced Malware Protection and Mailbox Auto-Remediation for
Microsoft Office 365, to bolster the capabilities of its core email
product.
Another valuable component of Cisco's solution is its data loss
prevention function, which employs a combination of encryption,
disclaimers, quarantining, and notifying to secure confidential
information contained within outgoing emails. In addition to
ensuring compliance with various regulations, such as the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Cisco imparts security awareness to its
customers through relevant simulations and training.
"Meanwhile, Cisco has taken steps to enhance its customer
experience by creating a streamlined customer and partner
engagement model. It achieved this by employing a consultative
approach to meet customers' desired targets, including scaling and
quickening project delivery and providing them with insights and
possibilities from its digital platforms," noted Yong. "This keen
customer focus, technology differentiation, and wide footprint are
helping Cisco evolve continuously and remain the undisputed leader
in the Asia-Pacific email security
market."
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the
company that has demonstrated excellence in implementing strategies
that proactively create value for its customers, with a focus on
