Through enhanced visibility, infrastructure protection, granular access, and tools to accelerate incident response, Cisco Security Resilience solutions on AWS support organizations in reliably securing data, applications, and workloads across their hybrid environments.

Zero trust

Streamline detection

Protect your organization’s sensitive data at scale. You can identify, authenticate, and securely connect users to company resources as well as monitor users, networks, and workloads across your hybrid cloud environment.

Gain visibility and control into all aspects of your network, operating systems, applications, services, protocols, unauthorized users, and more
Implement a zero-trust approach to securing application workloads across your AWS environment
Centralize policy management of your organization for endpoint access control and network device administration
Authenticate users with multi-factor or passwordless authentication; Enable single sign-on and adaptive access to private workloads
Enhance workload and application security at scale
Secure your environments with site-to-site VPN and advanced remote access capabilities
Block access from systems that have been identified as “compromised”

Access an automated, centralized view for security and alerts. Gain and maintain deep visibility into your hybrid environments. The Cisco Security portfolio extends beyond AWS environments for consistent security everywhere.

Aggregate all findings on one pane of glass while automating workflows and reducing anomaly dwell time
Detect the latest anomalies using rules from Cisco Talos^®, one of the world’s largest anomaly intelligence groups
Correlate and prioritize anomalies, and empower your organization to quickly act on them
Understand how hybrid cloud entities interact with each other by monitoring network communications across hybrid cloud and private networks
Block malicious and unwanted domains, IP addresses, and cloud applications–before a connection is established
Identify malicious behavior quickly based on advanced analytics and machine learning

Solution features and differentiators

Infrastructure protection
