Cnet has an interesting take on Cisco’s much talked about ambitions in the consumer market. In an interview with Richard Palmer, general manager of Cisco’s security technology group, it emerges that Cisco’s strategy in the home market puts it in competition with security stalwarts, Symantec and McAfee, but not in their traditional markets. “We think security is going to be a fundamental requirement for the networked home,” Palmer is quoted as saying. Buying security software and loading it onto a PC isn’t the way people will be securing their systems in the near future, according to Cnet. “That market is being transformed,” says Palmer.
