This makes great sense since Trend Micro has been trying to move into the market encryption/anti-virus routers....but damn, my friends at Trend Micro didn't give me inside info.

Cisco buys Japan's Trend Micro
Washington Times / Jun 09
.... Trend Micro will provide antivirus technology for Cisco, which will integrate the Japanese firm's network worm detection and blocking "signatures" with its intrusion-detection system software used by Cisco's routers, catalyst switches and security appliances....

Looks like UPI screwed up. They've just put this out at the beginning of the link now

San Jose, CA, Jun. 8 (UPI) -- Networking giant Cisco Systems, ink a deal with Trend Micro to provide anti-virus technology on Cisco equipment.

An earlier UPI report headlined "Cisco buys Japan's Trend Micro" was erroneous. UPI regrets the mistake.

Won't stop people speculating now, though!

Man-o-man, I just emailed a curt note to my main source in Trend Micro's management to the effect that she's buying all the drinks for the rest of the year for not telling me anything. Oh well...she sort of likes abuse anyway.
