As dynamic as the modern threat landscape is, there are some constants; adversaries are committed to continually refining and developing new techniques that can evade detection and hide malicious activity. This is evident by the 250 percent increase in malvertising attacks as cited in the Cisco 2015 Annual Security Report. Additionally, the report continues to show that enterprises are in a persistent state of infection, showing that 100 percent of networks analyzed had traffic going to websites hosting malware.

Cisco has the most comprehensive mobile backhaul solution in the industry, including cell site routers, self-optimizing technology for both licensed and unlicensed spectrum (small cell and macro cell), and small cells, including Wi-Fi.

Sensor and camera data can be analyzed in the fog on software running directly on the router, and can then be shared over cloud computing. Through this innovative solution, companies can achieve advancements in productivity and safety enhancements as well.

These capabilities allow for broadcast quality experiences, with scrolling tickers and scores, while also supporting Luma-Key effects, which allow advertisements on the edges of the screen to blend with the game. In addition, screens throughout the venue are now capable of having a video background layer, dynamic text, and rotating animated logos, all of which create a more visually immersive and interactive experience. Teams have already realized significant revenue growth through the solution, and this new version will open greater business opportunities for the venue and teams through targeted advertising, sponsorship activations, promotions, branding and more.

Cisco experts, together with industry partners and ecosystem start-ups, will develop proof of concepts, features and functionalities, and do rapid prototyping. The Centre will include dedicated space to demonstrate IoE in action and open areas where customers, start-ups, open communities, researchers, entrepreneurs and technology enthusiasts are invited to work and brainstorm on new ideas and technologies.

According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index Global Forecast for 2013 to 2018, global Internet Protocol (IP) traffic will increase three-fold from 2013 to 2018, a compound annual growth rate of 21 percent, due to more Internet users and devices, faster broadband speeds and more video viewing. Today's service provider networks need to be able to scale for the exponential traffic and cloud growth as forecasted over the next several years, and operators recognize that they need to be more agile, flexible and profitable to remain competitive. Cisco's EPN, which works via open APIs with the complementary Cisco Evolved Services Platform (ESP), enables web-speed agility with an open, elastic, and application-centric network infrastructure.

The new centre located in Villaverde will be a space open to the city's economic and social ecosystem -citizens, administrations, companies (including large, medium and small companies, and start-ups), universities, education and research establishments, professional colleges and foundations‑ with three main objectives: the promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship, training and employment, and technical and scientific innovation.

Additionally, 14 cloud providers today announced they plan to join Cisco's Intercloud partner ecosystem, bringing the number of Intercloud providers to more than 60 with a footprint of more than 350 data centers across 50 countries.

"With Challenge Up! we are giving a great signal to the startup world, bringing together the resources and know-how of three corporations. We will use our combined experience for the benefit of the Challenge Up! program and the support of the startup community." - said Elias Drakopoulos, Senior Vice President responsible for Europe B2B at Deutsche Telekom.

M2M services, such as connected cars, require a fundamental transformation in the underlying mobile architecture -combining virtual with physical networking resources. Virtual resources - connectivity and network services enabled in software rather than hardware - bring a lower entry cost, flexible deployment models, and rapid time-to-market. Carrier-grade performance and spare capacity come with the physical resources.
