Cisco Content Security Management Overview

AsyncOS for Cisco Content Security Management incorporates the following features:

  • External Spam Quarantine:Hold spam and suspected spam messages for end users, and allow end users and administrators to review messages that are flagged as spam before making a final determination.

  • Centralized Policy, Virus, and Outbreak Quarantines: Provide a single interface for managing these quarantines and the messages quarantined in them from multiple Email Security appliances. Allows you to store quarantined messages behind the firewall.

  • Centralized reporting: Run reports on aggregated data from multiple Email and Web Security appliances. The same reporting features available on individual appliances are available on Security Management appliances.

  • Centralized tracking: Use a single interface to track email messages and web transactions that were processed by multiple Email and Web Security appliances.

  • Centralized Configuration Management for Web Security appliances: For simplicity and consistency, manage policy definition and policy deployment for multiple Web Security appliances.


    Note
    The Security Management appliance is not involved in centralized email management, or ‘clustering’ of Email Security appliances.

  • Centralized Upgrade Management: You can simultaneously upgrade multiple Web Security appliances (WSAs) using a single Security Management Appliance (SMA).

  • Backup of data: Back up the data on your Security Management appliance, including reporting and tracking data, quarantined messages, and lists of safe and blocked senders.

You can coordinate your security operations from a single Security Management appliance or spread the load across multiple appliances.
