Cisco Systems and EMC announced a plan to integrate products and services to provide end-to-end security for enterprise data.
The partnership, made public April 7 as part of a press and analyst session during the RSA Conference in San Francisco, will initially focus on DLP (data loss prevention), data encryption and key management. The collaboration promises to help companies discover, secure, track and enforce policies on sensitive data stored in the data center, on the desktop and in server endpoints.
