SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
News Summary:
- The Cisco Webex Control Hub
Extended Security Pack is available now and enables our customers
to protect data from accidental misuse and malicious attacks –
while delivering the best user experience.
- You can incorporate Cisco Webex solutions into your

Ninety-five percent of the Fortune 500 choose Cisco
collaboration. Cisco also happens to be the world's largest

and highly secure collaboration.
Cisco Webex is already well-known for its true end-to-end

also known for its multilayer security that is validated and
continuously monitored to comply with stringent internal and
third-party industry standards. And today we announce the
Cisco Webex Control Hub Extended Security Pack. It packages
full-functionality Cisco Cloudlock CASB for Webex Teams with native
Webex anti-malware capabilities powered by Cisco Talos ClamAV in

purchase this new vertically-integrated security stack as part of
their Webex subscription, and it can be deployed quickly and
easily.
- Enables cross-company collaboration. This package was
designed with cross-company collaboration in mind – with Cloudlock
CASB supporting Data Loss Prevention (DLP policies) that protect
users even when they collaborate outside of their
organization.
- Comprehensive anti-malware. The anti-malware solution
protects against Trojans, ransomware and other malicious attacks –
even when users are on personal or unmanaged devices or are
collaborating with external users.
Customers and partners are excited about this latest
development:

"The new Webex Extended Security Pack gives us the
protection we need to confidently enable cross-company interactions
and collaboration with our customers, partners and suppliers. The
Cloudlock CASB functionality is very easy to deploy and it provides
critical data loss prevention for our internal and external spaces.
This allowed us to deliver a great user experience on an open,
modern collaboration platform while still protecting important
files and content. We are very excited about the upcoming
anti-malware capabilities that will be included in the bundle that
will protect us from Trojans, viruses, and ransomware - even when
files are introduced by external users."

"Our clients require
