Chapter 5
Your business needs robust security solutions to protect your customer and business data from cybersecurity threats. Until now, security leaders have taken one of two approaches: reluctantly settling for weaker, but manageable unified security solutions, or deploying stronger, disparate solutions that don’t fit or work together.
These approaches create gaps, management headaches, and inefficiencies that attackers can exploit. In addition, point solution features often overlap, with redundant costs for unnecessary security functionality.
Small business organisations need security that’s effective and simple. Cisco offers suitable security solutions that are accessible everywhere and on every device – from the network to the cloud. We make security less complex, providing a best-of-breed portfolio that’s tailor-made and designed for seamless integration.
Firewall security: Stay ahead of emerging threats and gain collective security intelligence. Cisco Firepower next-generation firewalls provide an integrated, single-box solution with superior threat prevention and mitigation for both known and unknown threats.
Email and web security: Cisco Email Security and Cisco Web Security solutions offer industry-leading, real-time threat defence. Protect your organisation from web and email-borne threats and help secure your network from targeted attacks.
Cloud security: Cisco cloud security provides effective, powerful security and control so you can adopt the cloud with confidence. Gain visibility and protection everywhere for your users, data, and the applications you buy or build. And with Cisco’s cloud-managed security, you get policy enforcement and threat intelligence that’s simple to use.
Advanced malware protection: Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) combines prevention, continuous monitoring, and response capabilities in one security technology to defend against, and rapidly respond to, today’s most advanced attacks on the network, web, email, and endpoints.
Data centre security: Our Secure Data Centre Solution gives you scalable protection, adaptability, and flexibility that’s dynamic and responsive to your business. You get rapid provisioning, increased performance, and security intelligence integrated into the fabric of your data centre.
Secure mobility: Cisco AnyConnect® Secure Mobility offers not just outstanding VPN services, it also provides security policy enforcement that is context-aware, comprehensive, and pre-emptive. Add Cisco Umbrella Roaming for seamless endpoint protection, on or off the network.
Secure access: The Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) offers identity and access control that gathers real-time contextual information from networks, users, and devices. Now you can make proactive network governance decisions to enforce intelligent, highly secure access policies across your wired and wireless networks.
Security intelligence: Threat intelligence expertise can analyse and protect against both known and emerging threats. Talos™ develops threat intelligence for Cisco security solutions, using a sophisticated infrastructure and systems that analyse unrivalled telemetry data from Cisco and our robust open source community.
