Cisco, Oracle Find Dozens Of Their Products Affected By Shellshock
Cisco and Oracle are working hard to identify networks and other products in their portfolios,which are affected by the critical vulnerability Shellshock.
The Shellshock vulnerability and several related last week due to errors such as command line interpreter bash for Unix and Linux systems analyzed chains,were found to be forwarded through external scripts.The errors that can be exploited to trick certain processes are running in areas vulnerable to malicious strings pass Bash,which is then run as commands on the underlying operating system machines.
Security researcher Rob Fuller has set collected by a collection of ShellShock feats proof-of-concept from different sources.The best known attack vectors are running on the Web server CGI scripts,SSH demons,although other applications that interact with Bash also potential targets.
Cisco has 71 products so far,which exposed the vulnerability is identified.These products serve a variety of purposes,including network implementation,service and acceleration; Network and content security Management and network provisioning; Routing and switching; Unified Computing Voice and Unified Communications; Video streaming,telepresence and transcoding.
The number of Cisco products vulnerable to Shellshock and related errors far exceeds the 38 confirmed not vulnerable. The company is reviewing an additional 168 products and hosted services,so that the list of sensitive products is likely to increase.
The impact of this vulnerability on Cisco products can vary depending on the product concerned because some types of attacks such as SSH,require successful authentication to be exploited and can not give rise to additional privileges granted to the user,Cisco said in its adviser.
Oracle is also in the process of identifying which of their products are vulnerable.Until now the company has released patches for nine products Shellshock Oracle Database Appliance 2.X and 12.1.2 Software Oracle Exadata Storage Server Oracle Exalogic Oracle Exalytics Oracle Linux 4,5,6 and 7 Oracle Solaris 8,9,10 and 11 operating system Oracle Supercluster Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance Software and Oracle VM 2.2,3.2 and 3.3.
An additional 42 products use Bash in at least one version and are likely to be susceptible to Shellshock, Oracle has found. No patches are currently available for these products. Four other products are currently being investigated to determine whether they are using vulnerable versions of Bash.
Oracle has the impact of this vulnerability for products evaluated no longer supported by the Oracle,the company said in its advisory.Other suppliers built on top of Linux,if it is to release hardware devices,SCADA platforms specialized servers or embedded devices,probably patches Shellshock in the near future, products are.
The overall impact of the vulnerability Shellshock and errors associated Bash is difficult to quantify due to the ubiquitous nature of this block in the world of Unix and Linux and the fact that all versions of Bash 1993 is likely vulnerable.Multiple vectors of attack only adds to the complexity of determining which systems are at risk.

Cisco Beats Estimates On Strong New Product Sales In Developed Markets
Cisco announced a mixed set of Q4 FY2014 results,as revenues declined marginally but the company beat guidance on stronger than expected demand for new products in developed markets.The networking giant saw its revenues drop year-over-year (y-o-y) by less than 1% to $12.36 billion,as sustained weakness in emerging markets and sluggish spending by service providers weighed on results. The revenue decline was at the lower end of the company’s guidance of 1-3% and better than consensus expectations of 2%.
Although emerging market orders fell by 9%,with China, Russia,Brazil and Thailand contributing to a bulk of the weakness,the company was able to offset some of the pressure with a strong showing in the U.S.where commercial and enterprise orders grew by 17% and 16% y-o-y,respectively.Cisco’s new high-end routers and switches continued their strong momentum from the previous quarter,as orders for the NCS and CRS-X grew above expectations to about $50 million each in Q4 and $100 million each in the full fiscal year.The Nexus 9000 and Cisco’s SDN strategy also seems to have resonated well with customers,as the number of clients jumped from 180 in Q3 to 580 at the end of the fiscal fourth quarter.
The routing and switching transition seems to be going well and the company expects these business divisions to contribute meaningfully to top-line growth in the next few quarters. Cisco expects its overall revenue growth to return to positive territory in the next quarter, ranging between zero and 1%. With revenues remaining almost flat, gross margins are unlikely to recover in the near term given the long sales cycles associated with launches of new networking products. In the coming years, we expect Cisco to be able to defend its overall operating margins better as the new high-end products start gaining traction and the company’s cost-cutting measures take hold. The company continues to generate strong cash flows and has been opportunistic in deploying the cash to buy back shares at depressed valuations.
Switching Transition On Right Track
Cisco faces a difficult environment in regions such as Asia-Pacific, Japan,China and Russia, where customers expenses network interface in response to fluctuations in strong currencies and geopolitical factors.The company saw orders in Asia-Pacific and Japan at 7% from the same period last fiscal year.China has a primary,given the unstable political situation after the scandal about pain NSA spying.Orders in China fell 23% over the same quarter last year.
In developed markets like UsWhere the general economic situation has become less uncertain Cisco is comparatively much better implementation.However,product transitions have delays in routing and switching rates as customers orders and test the new equipment before deployment.The decline was even more pronounced in the service provider market, where the delay in sales is usually more than the company and the company changed its focus from traditional video decoders in the cloud.In the last quarter,saw its orders Cisco service providers by 11% over the same period last year.
Therefore,it is a good sign for the new Cisco routers and switches look should flow a good number of orders that sales growth to continue in the coming quarters.Supports Cisco SDN strategy of the Nexus 9000 recent gains significant traction with customers, which was evident by the fact that their customer base over the previous quarter tripled.This helped the company to the sales decrease switching delay to about 4%,compared with more than 6% in the third quarter.
However,there is usually a delay of at least one quarter prior orders comes to translating.We therefore expect Cisco to continue to lose market share in the short-term competitors such as Juniper,which is later in the sales cycle of new products.However,Cisco appears well positioned to some of its lost market share as the strong order flow leads to income, to recover possibly the middle of next year.

Cisco: Not The Best Idea In Big Cap Tech
Summary
It is not so hard to strong free cash flow from Cisco to generate strong cash balance and a dominant position in the markets for communications networks.Cisco makes the best of a difficult situation.We still prefer Microsoft and Apple as better ideas,all in all.It's hard not to like Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), strong free cash flow to generate the balance of the fixed panel and domain network communications market, but the results for the fourth fiscal quarter they were not great.
Cisco CEO John Chambers is the wool over your eyes do not pull everyone: Cisco makes the best of a difficult situation. Sales were flat on a year-on-year basis in the quarter,earnings per share came in about flat.GAAP net income fell from the time last year, but the company was able to publish (primarily to the repurchase of aggressive acts) its best quarter non-GAAP earnings per share in the story Cisco continues to generate a lot of free cash flow (3.3 billion dollars in the quarter), but the market environment remains undoubtedly difficult, especially in emerging markets.
The following transcript outlines the ongoing troubles:Fiscal year 2014 was a year with many big wins and several challenges. Our fiscal year began with the number of external headwinds including the federal government shutdown and the possibility of a U.S. default combined with significant slowdown in emerging markets.
Asia Pacific, Japan and China (region) was down 7% with China down 23% and India up 18% while the remaining emerging countries in Asia actually declined 34%. Those are countries that did not include China and India. Overall emerging countries within the three geographies declined this quarter by 9%.
We saw the impact of economic and geopolitical challenges in China, Brazil, Russia, Argentina, Turkey and Thailand and in a number of emerging markets that many of our other peers are seeing. These declines are reducing our growth by several points from what was expected and typically seen.
Although trends are best seen in Q2 and Q3 for emerging markets,lost in Q4 emerging markets, continued breakdown in double-digit declines and the following 15 emerging market countries went from a positive growth in the mid single digits in Q2 and Q3 to a decrease of 9% in Q4.Unfortunately,when we discovered that we see growth emerging markets again for several quarters and we believe that it could possibly get worse. Conference call.
The network communications giant said revenue would be flat to 1% on an annual basis in the current quarter and non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $ 0.53 USD per share 0.51- the center be (slightly below consensus estimates). In the coming months, Cisco will help reduce 6,000 jobs, their goals at baseline, a reduction of about 8% of the workforce.

Big Business Trip to Las Vegas for Cisco’s John Chambers
John Chambers, CEO of Csco and a man who likes big bets, went to the right place. Later this month,Chambers said in an interview,20,000 Cisco employees flying to Las Vegas for three days of training on the new Cisco.It is the first such meeting which made the company in six years and underlines the strength of the changes Cisco through and to wagered.
While Cisco has a lot of boxes that direct traffic around the Internet,he said,is sold,the understanding of routers and switches is not enough.We need to get people to the architecture and the results of the solution.This sounds like advice,but Mr.Chambers said the new Cisco sales approach that would be applied.People in your sales he said,have five main business objectives of a CEO to take and bind them in the results.Received the strictest hardware and engineering software on it.
Part of the new approach, announced fourth quarter earnings on Wednesday,Cisco,cuts about 6,000 employees.Mr.Chambers said the cuts would in many areas of California,such as sales representative in a country that does not return, both sales or service people come into the business,is a new language.It also means many new hires. our count is not different,the end of the layoffs,he said. The market waits for no one.
Both the collection and distribution approach sounds expensive, but Mr. Salas says he can and should be done. The sales approach "is a higher risk, but how to keep their margins. Regarding sales people turning loose in Sin City," a few big sales pays for it.
Large in this context, such as wiring a city with sensors,networks servers and analysis software for more efficient management and monitoring of the supply chain of an international manufacturer.Mr.Chambers two large companies in the future include a kind of red-heavy software that can handle changing workloads quickly reconfigured, and the so-called inter-cloud" Linking public and private networks with a high level of service quality.
None of these bets has been shown,although Mr.Chambers says that its software-based network,as it is an advantage of 30 to 40 percent during the commercial silicon,the type of business records that threaten the business of Cisco. This however, seems on the number of components on a single board computer,and no cost for the initial or overall life of the execution of Cisco Systems relate.
The InterCloud bet is one in which Mr.Salas has run most large companies and governments their own large private networks.Private Clouds are dramatically larger public clouds,he said,something that people in the industry would deny public cloud on Amazon Web Services and Google.
In any case, the idea of switching networks in the plans of both intestinal and network management is in the clouds means that distinctions such as hardware and software,data storage and rake or strategic objectives and business analysis are collapsing.Many of these categories can be mixed, Chambers said, and that's what the troops need to understand.
The danger, of course, that Cisco employees shoot with excessive complexity,a problem that the company has pursued in the past.Mr. Chambers said that this can be avoided with a lot of web-based training,and closer cooperation between the groups.We have to transform each layer in Cisco said.We will always try different approaches.

Cisco Invests $150M in Internet of Things
The venture capital
arm of Cisco, Cisco Investments, is allocating $ 150 million for the
Internet of Things (IOT) industry. Investment, Cisco will use the money to finance start-ups
and other companies involved in the growing industry to give money, whether directly or working
through start accelerator.
Not all the money is getting to the IO, but this is one of the Main Topics in the Thematic Funding From Cisco. Overall, Cisco has invested $ 250 million invested in emerging companies in areas such as the Internet of Things. In January, the company spent $ 100 million to finance new businesses in the IO. Last month, Cisco, IBM, GE and AT & T launched an Internet consortium, opened a group of members with the goal of breaking the barriers of silo technology and access to the largest data drive things with better integration between the digital and physical worlds.
Already, large technology companies releasing devices and other electronics, and to talk to the Internet. Ordinary companies still release their own IO devices, at least the money in the industry somehow. This includes multi-million dollar acquisitions, including the purchase of Google Nest, a manufacturer of thermostats connected.
Rob Lloyd, president of sales and development of Cisco, the view of the Internet of Things Company in March, during the Conference of Editors of Cisco. Lloyd said that 99 percent of the electronics is still not connected to the Internet, and to change that funding should focus on consumer-oriented companies.
During the same conference, the development director Pankaj Patel Cisco touts progress in the business industry. Patel said that Cisco had already billion on research in 2012, and much of that money was devoted to the IO.
Our investment in Alchemist Accelerator, Ayla Networks Evrythng aligns with our focus on innovation and start-ups focusing on Internet companies of things,said Hilton Romanski, vice president of corporate development at Cisco. Cisco top priority to smaller businesses is IO to achieve them provide you with additional resources and contacts in the industry. A new focus investment Cisco will accelerate the development of its portfolio companies by connecting to the experience and resources, such as Cisco IT, business leaders,Cisco and Cisco network of partners and customers by big industry events such as the annual Cisco Live,said Cisco.

Projections
Decision by Cisco to increase their risk capital funds for the IO seems prudent, especially given the recent forecast of the industry, the company would be worth 14400000000000 $ per 2022. Many of the devices currently being published in the market of consumer electronics are capable of in the Internet of things, which means that the industry to be profitable in the future.Already, large technology companies releasing devices and other electronics, and to talk to the Internet. Ordinary companies still release their own IO devices, at least the money in the industry somehow.
