Cisco is about to purchase ScanSafe a web security company for a 183 million dollars. This step will allow Cisco to increase the competition with other big companies in this industry such as Symantec and McAfee.
ScanSafe provides products in the web filtering security services to protect corporate workstations and networks from hackers. You will already notice on the home page a message shows that “Cisco to acquire ScanSafe”.
Symantec and McAfee are the leaders in Computer security software field and are offering already a bunch of advance Cloud based security software with a high growth in sales that exceeds the traditional antiviruses.

Visitors from Bing.com

Yesterday while I was looking at the Blog state I have noticed that some visitors were coming from a certain site called Bing.com. I started to search about it, after some search using Google I found some adds on the net talking about the new Microsoft search engine Bing.
The name seemed to me nice comparing to Microsoft search engine Live. according to Microsoft Bing offers several new features intended to help people perform faster, better searches with less poking around:
* A set of navigation and search tools called an Explore Pane which includes a feature called Web Groups. …
* Related Searches and Quick Tabs features that provide a sort of table of contents. …
Bing will become available in the next few days and fully be launched by the 3rd of June. Microsoft illustrates that Bing is not a search engine but it is a decision maker by providing a fast preview of search results during a mouseover .people can decide if they want to leave the search page and click on a link, therefore is not intended to be a Google challenger.
So let’s get ready for binging!
