Cisco announced yesterday that they intend to acquire Neohapsis. Neohapsis is a security, risk and compliance company, which is a very interesting move by Cisco. Many people not only want data from security reports, but also desire how that data will impact their business. This means how changes or risk can impact compliance to mandatory regulations as well as how much impact could a vulnerability have to a system. Neohapsis is a services based company so this seems to be a security services play yet could also trickle in Cisco products.It would be really cool to see more compliancy based reporting in future Cisco products as an outcome of this acquisition.
