This is the Okena product, after Cisco's acquisition.  They were previously 
distributing a better technology - Entercept - by OEM arrangement.  Entercept 
got cocky about what it would cost to be acquired, and Cisco went for Okena 
in a matter of weeks!

These are "bolt-ons", which give capabilities management to legacy OS's  - 
Winders and Solaris.  Similar to LIDS or the "St. Jude" model :
