Welcome to this video on Cisco multi cloud defense. Today, we will delve into an overview of this innovative solution and explore its practical use cases. 1st.00:04We will provide an overview of Cisco multi cloud defense, highlighting its unique features and capabilities. Next, we will discuss the benefits of implementing this solution within your organization. Lastly, we will explore use cases to demonstrate how Cisco multi cloud Defense can effectively protect diverse cloud environments.00:16Cisco multi cloud Defense is a comprehensive cloud agnostic security solution designed to unify and simplify security management across multiple cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud infrastructure, and private clouds.00:35It provides consistent and automated protection with a single SaaS control plane that manages security policies centrally, ensuring uniform enforcement across all cloud platforms. It effectively reduces risks, enhances agility, and improves operational efficiencies.00:50Cisco multi cloud Defense is the industry's 1st solution to integrate network security with multi cloud networking. Its primary goal is to simplify the management of complex environments through a centralized platform and unified policies for both public and private clouds. Key benefits.01:08Agility and automation, thanks to its cloud native design, it allows for rapid deployment and efficient adaptation to environmental changes. Unified management, it reduces risk by consolidating security controls into a single platform, ensuring consistent protection, cost efficiency, it optimizes resources by replacing redundant tools, reducing the.01:23Need for training and operational overhead. In today's complex hybrid environment, managing security across both public and private clouds can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. Our multi cloud defense solution simplifies your security posture by providing a single unified platform to oversee your entire infrastructure.01:43With the ability to write a security policy once and apply it seamlessly across all your cloud environments, you eliminate configuration gaps and ensure consistent protection everywhere. Furthermore, by leveraging advanced automation and orchestration, you can respond to emerging threats faster and drastically reduce manual overhead.02:03Cisco multi cloud defense delivers key security capabilities essential for protecting cloud infrastructures. It facilitates comprehensive asset discovery and visibility enabling efficient management of ingress and egress security, cloud security automation, and segmentation.02:22The solution ensures unmatched agility, reduced risk through unified security controls, and lower costs by eliminating the need for multiple redundant tools. Multi cloud defense uses a common principle in public clouds and software defined networking which decouples the control and data plane.02:37Translating to two solution components. Multi cloud defense controller and multi cloud defense gateway. The multi cloud defense controller is a highly reliable and scalable centralized controller that provides the management and control plane. This runs as software as a service and is fully managed and maintained by multi cloud defense.02:55The multi cloud defense gateway is an auto scaling fleed of multi cloud defense software deployed as platform as a service into the customer's public cloud accounts by the multi cloud defense controller. This provides advanced inline security protections that defend against external attacks, prevent egress data exfiltration and prevent the lateral movement of attacks. Multi cloud defense.03:12Gateways include functionality for transport layer security decryption.03:32Intrusion detection and prevention, web application firewall, antivirus filtering, data loss prevention, and fully qualified domain name and URL filtering capabilities. In a multi cloud world, the perimeter is NO longer a single boundary, it is everywhere.03:36To build a resilient defense, we must master the flow of data by strictly controlling what enters our environment, what leaves it, and how we isolate workloads internally. Egress security and Cisco multi cloud defense addresses key challenges associated with outbound traffic management.03:53This involves preventing unauthorized data transfers and blocking connections to malicious entities. Effective egress security leverages security intelligence feeds to mitigate risks associated with data exfiltration, command and control threats, and bot net activities. Cisco multi cloud defense enhances egress security through unifi.04:08Provide control measures across cloud environments.04:28The solution incorporates FQDN and URL filtering, intrusion detection, antivirus, and other advanced security features to mitigate risks and improve agility. By consolidating security tools, it automates protection across multi cloud settings, leveraging Cisco Talus threat intelligence for continuous defense against external threats.04:30Ingress security, Multial cloud defense protects inbound traffic entering a virtual private cloud or virtual network from external sources such as the public internet, remote users or 3rd party services. Because each cloud provider has its own native ingress tools, managing these entry points consistently as a major security challenge. Cisco multi cloud defense.04:52Its transforms ingress management from a cloud specific task into a streamlined enterprise wide security strategy.05:12This use case focuses on controlling lateral movement within the cloud environment by segmenting traffic between subnets or vpcs. The primary use case for segmentation in Cisco multi cloud defense is to restrict east west traffic, ensuring that a compromised workload in one cloud or one VPC cannot reach sensitive databases or applications in another environment.05:20Environment by enforcing granular control over inter workload traffic from a single point of management. Organizations can effectively stop the spread of threats and ensure that security remains robust even as their cloud infrastructure revolves. Multi cloud defense offers deep visibility and real time enforcement.05:40Empowering security teams to confidently secure their evolving cloud environments. Cisco multi cloud defense gives you cloud visibility reports with helpful statistics and information that you can use as insights to the network in its general health. Multi cloud defense enables you to generate discovery reports.05:58Generated by taking out of band traffic information from DNS queries and VPC flow logs and correlating the data with threat intelligence and cloud inventory information. The cloud visibility report also includes the threat indicator snapshot, which compiles data on the gateway instance. You can use this report to assess the gateways endurance under duress by examining traffic patterns.06:15When and how thresholds are met, attack trends, and specific instances. We hope you found this presentation informative and engaging. Thank you for your attention.06:35
