No waiting: How to experience the Cisco Security Cloud right now

Foundational solutions are available today.

What pieces of the Cisco Security Cloud can you deploy today?

There's no reason to delay your own journey toward security resilience.

We’ve been working toward this vision for years. Several Cisco Secure solutions are forming the foundation of the Cisco Security Cloud. They offer ways for organisations to start implementing their own comprehensive multi-cloud security environment today.

Solutions for modern, multi-cloud environments

Our turnkey Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offering, Cisco+ Secure Connect, simplifies how organisations connect and protect users, devices, data and applications, anywhere. Cisco SASE combines networking and security functions in the cloud to deliver seamless, secure access to applications, anywhere users work. Core functions include software-defined wide area network, secure web gateway, firewall as a service, cloud access security broker and zero-trust network access.

Our extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities provide visibility and actionable insights across networks, clouds, endpoints and applications to help Security Operation Centre (SOC) teams hunt, investigate and remediate threats. These XDR capabilities are built into the broad portfolio of Cisco security products and easily integrate with existing solutions in your environment using open APIs. (Our Security Outcomes Study found that well-integrated technology is a leading determinant of security success.)

Our continuous trusted access solutions support zero trust principles and architectures by constantly verifying user and device identity, device posture, vulnerabilities and indicators of compromise. This includes Risk-Based Authentication, a new feature that uses contextual information to assess the risk of allowing a user or device to connect to your network.

At a moment's notice, we were able to transition 80 percent of our workforce to be remote. And our company was never remote before. Because of our Cisco solutions, we were able to deploy everything and have people work well remotely with very minimal issues.

Solutions for hybrid work

Even more solutions address the unique challenges of hybrid work. They include secure client suites that simplify how administrators and users manage endpoints and engage safeguards like passive DNS protection. This is vital for workforces that are always on the move, and still need trusted access to networks and applications. And next-generation firewall solutions make enterprise-class hybrid work and zero trust practical by supporting more remote users and boosting VPN performance. Leading-edge, cloud-delivered firewall management solutions, which unify management for both cloud and on-premise firewalls make it easy for your firewall to grow with your business, no matter where it goes.

This is a journey, and we are rapidly evolving our solutions to realise our vision for a single, cloud-native platform designed to secure every network, user, data store and app.

How does the Cisco Security Cloud help you achieve security resilience?

Security resilience is the ability to protect the integrity of every aspect of your business so it can withstand unpredictable threats or changes and emerge stronger. We know attacks will happen. But how well you prepare for those attacks – and how quickly and effectively you respond to them – determines your level of security resilience.

The Cisco Security Cloud is architected expressly to enable your organisation to improve its security resilience. How? By allowing you to:

See more by activating billions of signals with telemetry across your ecosystem and using active monitoring and filtering.
Anticipate what's next and embrace shared, actionable intelligence and expertise so you always know when threats emerge or conditions change.
Take the right action by prioritising what's most important using risk-based context analysis and continuous trust assessment of everyone and everything.
Close the gaps and achieve a pervasive defence across the ecosystem using the Cisco Security Cloud's open, integrated platform across the campus, data centre, cloud and edge.
Get stronger every day by orchestrating and automating your responses so you can spring back faster.

^{This is the future we're}
^{building at Cisco}

Without security, there is no network.

A zero-trust environment that frustrates attackers, not users.
Threats and exploits that are addressed once and automatically blocked in the future.
A shrinking attack surface achieved through unified policy management and up-to-the-minute threat intelligence.
Context that extends across products.
Repetitive tasks automated.
Incidents and vulnerabilities prioritised based on the risk they pose to your business.

This is the future we're building at Cisco: one aimed at helping you achieve security resilience, so you can protect your business against threats and disruption, respond to changes confidently and emerge even stronger. And one built to make life much simpler and safer for people like Maya, ensuring that no matter where she is or what device she’s using, her experience is free of fear, friction or frustration.

At Cisco, we’ve always known that we can’t be in the connect business unless we’re in the protect business. With the Cisco Security Cloud, we’re taking the protect business further than it’s ever gone.

Discover how Cisco can help you meet the challenges of complex, hybrid, multi-cloud environments, and prepare you for the future we all know is coming.

Cisco is on the right path to simplifying the deployment and management of security by leveraging API interfaces and the Cisco Security Cloud.
