The Cisco Secure Data Center Network solution gives you the ability to take a threat-centric and trust-centric approach. It’s also the only platform with the tools to fully support our visibility, segmentation, and threat protection architecture across today’s complex IT environments.
For example, Cisco Tetration tracks every application on the network, while Cisco Stealthwatch provides security analytics. Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) provides network segmentation, and Tetration adds micro-segmentation. And our global threat intelligence network, Talos, blocks 19.6 billion threats every day.
The Cisco platform also offers all the tools you need to optimize and manage your entire corporate network. For example, Cisco ACI allows you to automate policies based on the business ‘intent’ of applications and data flows. This is an essential part of what we call Intent-Based Networking, an advanced form of software-defined networking that uses analytics, machine learning, and automation to align the network continuously and dynamically to changing business needs.
