Here are some specific ways in which the tools and services within the Cisco Security Cloud portfolio can help organizations with their resilience:
Empower your teams to focus on reducing the biggest risks to your business, with Kenna Vulnerability Management.
With new CVEs being disclosed daily, it has become increasingly difficult for security teams to stay abreast of the latest risks, let alone quickly determine which ones apply to their network environment. From those, prioritizing which CVEs to patch first adds an additional wrinkle to the process.
If this wasn’t challenging enough,a curve ball that’s often lobbed at security teams are the “breaking news” vulnerabilities— vulnerabilities picked up by the security media,often with much fanfare. The stories surrounding these high-profile vulnerabilities generally carry an implied threat that the CVE in question will throw the doors wide open to attackers if not addressed immediately.
Kenna Security, a pioneer in risk-based vulnerability management, relies on threat intel and prioritization to keep security and IT teams focused on risks. Using data science, Kenna processes and analyzes 18+ threat and exploit intelligence feeds, and 12.7+ billion managed vulnerabilities to give you an accurate view of your company’s risk. With our risk scoring and remediation intelligence, you get the info you need to make truly data-driven remediation decisions. This is modern risk-based vulnerability management.
Customer testimonials
“You have to put the appropriate defenses in play. It’s very important that we engage with companies like Cisco that help inform us about how to enhance security in a way that takes away as much risk as possible.”
“Our dynamic and automated approach to remote access enabled Teleperformance and 60 of its clients to be resilient amidst unprecedented change, while managing risk across the distributed network. “I don’t know how we would have managed this so quickly without the expertise of smartNS and Cisco,” says Tsahouridis. “Our internal network team, together with smartNS, succeeded in quickly adapting the solution and deploying into production. It would have taken us a year to achieve what we did in two months.”

There are two broad categories of insider threats: the malicious insider and the unwitting asset. Both present unique challenges in detection and prevention for defenders and organizations’ IT admins.
Over the past six months to a year, Cisco Talos has seen an increasing amount of incident response engagements involving malicious insiders and unwitting assets being compromised via social engineering.
Resilience begins with secure connections. Cisco Identity Services Engine helps ensure that only trusted users and their devices can access resources across your self-managed network.

In addition, Cisco Security Analytics allows you to work confidently by
developing a baseline for normal access, then analyze each new access attempt to spot anomalous behavior. Gain insight into threats such as account takeover, access abuse, and compromised insiders.
