Secure Access/Cisco Umbrella Overview

Welcome everyone. Today we are discussing Cisco Secure Access. Our goal is to provide a clear understanding of what this solution is, how it functions, and the specific use cases where it drives the most value for our customers.00:04Here's the agenda for our presentation on Cisco Secure Access today. Firstly, we'll delve into what Cisco Secure Access is all about. Next, we'll explore its extensive capabilities and how they can be leveraged in your network environment. Finally, we'll walk through some real world use cases to provide context on the application and benefits of this solution. Let's begin by.00:18Adding what Cisco Secure Access entails.00:38At its core, Cisco Secure Access is a modern cloud native security solution built on the principles of zero trust. We designed this to be safer for everyone, meaning it provides a better experience for the end user while making life significantly easier for IT teams, whether your users are in the office, working remotely on a mobile device or even traveling overseas.00:42Secure access ensures they can connect to the internet, SaaS applications, and private apps securely from anywhere on any device.01:03Looking at the architecture, secure access acts as a unified security service edge SSE solution. It integrates critical functions such as zero trust access, VMAS, DNS security, and data loss prevention into a single cloud native platform.01:12By utilizing our global secure access points of presence, we eliminate the need for cumbersome backhauling to a data center. Whether it's a managed laptop in a branch office or an unmanaged device in a coffee shop, the solution applies consistent identity and posture based policies ensuring that security follows the user, not just the network perimeter.01:29To wrap up, let's look at the four primary ways our customers are leveraging secure access today. Securing the hybrid workforce, we provide a consistent security experience regardless of location. Ensuring productivity isn't sacrificed for safety. Hybrid cloud protection, we extend security policies seamlessly across multi cloud and on premises environments.01:49Preventing data exfiltration, we proactively identify and manage sensitive data transfers to mitigate the risk of data loss, unified security operations. Perhaps most importantly for IT teams, we consolidate multiple security tools into one dashboard. This reduces operational complexity and streamlines both policy management and compliance reporting.02:09
