More Effective, Context-Based Policy Enforcement

The Cisco SecureX security framework allows you to establish and enforce security policies across the entire distributed network, not just at a single point in the data stream. By leveraging using global and local security intelligence for dynamic, real-time threat protection, Cisco SecureX responds to the evolving security needs of today's borderless network environments.

Context for Deep Network Insights

Cisco SecureX uses context-aware security to identify critical information needed to make dynamic and intelligent network access, control, and threat protection decisions that traditional security solutions simply can't provide. It identifies:

• Who is attempting to access the network
• What role that person plays in the organization
• What resources that person is trying to access
• Where that person is located at the time of the access attempt
• What device is being used to gain access
• How that person is accessing the network

Simplify Administration, Tighten Control

Cisco SecureX is designed to align closely with your business policies. This simplifies policy administration, provides broader visibility into events, strengthens security controls, and optimizes business efficiency and flexibility. More specifically, Cisco SecureX:

• Establishes and enforces context-aware policy across your entire distributed network
• Creates a converged security strategy across your wired, wireless, and VPN networks
• Gives you the ability to create policies that correlate directly with IT enforcement needs and business rules
• Uses the Cisco Security Intelligence Operation (SIO) for real-time insight into the global threat environment
