Cisco Security and Amazon Web Services (AWS)

How Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cisco Security work together

Cisco Security on AWS helps organizations gain visibility and control across their AWS environment to protect data now and in the future. Expand your on-premises environments to AWS using industry-leading security tools and reduce costs with pay-as-you-go pricing.

Cisco and AWS are working together to make it easier for businesses to accelerate their cloud journey by inspiring trust, reducing complexity, and enabling innovation. AWS and Cisco provide the robust framework, consistent global footprint, and software-defined repeatable blueprints needed to connect hybrid cloud environments, optimize cloud migration, and enable employees to work remotely and securely.
