Unified security platform with centralized management

Event replay video

Simplify security for your critical data and apps with AI-driven central management, offering end-to-end visibility, effective segmentation, and proactive protection.

End-to-end visibility

Go beyond the basics to understand extended device-to-workload connectivity. Gain context on users, devices, app dependencies, and workloads down to the process level. Know who is accessing what.

Intelligent zone firewall

See hidden threats in encrypted traffic. Use extensive network telemetry and ML-guided behavior algorithms to discover and enforce policies using Cisco firewalls.

Segmentation that works

Deploy topology-aware security that understands app dependencies and applies segmentation policies optimally across Cisco security fabric for both traditional and Kubernetes workloads.

Close the exploit gap

The AI-native rule engine prioritizes vulnerability and automatically recommends a surgical mitigating control that has been tested against live production traffic to ensure apps keep running. Get protection from exploits in minutes, not months.
