And the beat goes on....... Cisco tops Check Point in firewall sales By Wylie Wong Staff Writer, CNET News.com December 14, 1999, 12:40 p.m. PT Network equipment provider Cisco Systems for the first time has surpassed Check Point Software in an important network security market niche, according to a forthcoming study. According to the latest market research from International Data Corp., Cisco has pushed Check Point from the top spot in the market for firewall technology, a space it has long dominated. Firewalls are software or hardware devices that businesses use to protect computer networks against unauthorized users or viruses.... In some respects, Cisco's rise to the top spot in the firewall market follows a familiar pattern for the networking giant. Using a combination of internal development, company acquisitions and strong marketing to its sprawling installed base of customers, Cisco has slowly climbed in reach of offerings and market share. As a rule, chief executive John Chambers has said the firm aspires eventually to be No. 1 or No. 2 in each new market it enters. yahoo.cnet.com
