Cisco CEO: Protecting companies against hackers
At the RSA Conference in San Francisco, Cisco CEO John Chambers discusses how physical and IT security are one and the same. The architecture must be tied together to form a balanced resolution.

Speaker: There aren't many companies that haven't been hacked in the last year, or governments. It's the ability to realize this is just getting started. The complexity of what crime figures will do, the complexity of rogue nation states, really sophisticated. Let's take a step back and just share with you what we're going to do to give you an idea of how I think this complexity has to be balanced. It starts off with stand-alone, you know, an individual, local appliances that help you with security. We then begin to take these and move them straight into the routers and switches architecturally. You begin to then think about how do you do this as a service, by directly and indirectly. How do you get the hybrid solution across the clouds, core versus context ideas? How do you combine physical and IT security? And the answer is, they're one and the same. Same cameras you use for security ought to be able to tie to your badges, out to be able to tie to tracking you throughout where you're moving, etcetera, to be able to protect you, to be automatically able to center in terms of a gun shot, or something like that in a key event, to do customer recognition as well as bad recognition as you come into a bank, etcetera. It's this architecture of tying it together. And think of the complexity that we just try to pull together at Cisco and then realize where we're gonna go with this as the number of sensors expand. In an average day, we compile, literally, 500 gigabytes of information a day. We have over 700 thousand sensors in our customers' production networks, at their request and ours, where they will let us get access to the information regularly because they're as concerned as we are about the flow. We have over a million Cisco devices around the world that collect this data and to be able to do two way feeds. And we have 500 people everyday focus on how to analyze this and understand what security intelligence operations has to be. And that's just the beginning. That's before the explosion of sensors is gonna occur, and the ability to share this, whether it's for inaudible on it, traffic monitoring, or the ability to do this for pollution, or responding to a security threat. They'll be one and the same. They aren't going to be separate architectures or separate capability. The ability to think as you do this collaboration and approach the cloud -- and let's just use one of our own Web-ex products as an example. The ability to take this and put it anywhere in the network you want, over any combination of networks, put the intelligent, the virtual processors out there, if you will, there the inaudible, etcetera, and be able to put the security right at the edge in terms of how we do this in terms of approaching the cloud. All of this ties together in a very unique way. And it requires thinking of solutions, innovation, if you will -- and you know where I'm headed with this -- and security at the same time. And the answer cannot be from my CIO, "The security will slow me down." And the answer cannot be from my product teams, "I'm not gonna design that end of the product," because, boy, it's hard enough for me to get my routers and switches and other things working together with a common architecture.
