Microsoft, Cisco, EMC do government security

Three of the biggest names in high tech are buddying up to improve the security of IT systems for government agencies.

Microsoft, Cisco Systems and EMC have created service configurations under the Secure Information Sharing Architecture, which is designed to protect and share sensitive government information.

The move is a response to the events of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina as well as the raft of data breaches floating around government agencies and other sectors in the last few years.
