Cisco customers have a 'hygiene' problem
Cisco's customers are not accustomed to regularly updating the operating system on their network hardware, which has left many of them with a 'hygiene' problem when it comes to security, according to Cisco's chief security officer John Stewart.According to Stewart, Cisco's customers have not had to deal with the problems traditionally associated with operating systems like Windows, Linux and Mac OS, which regularly require patches to fix newly discovered security issues.
