Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

System integrity is the foundation of trustworthiness
The network is critical infrastructure, hence its integrity and trustworthiness are paramount. A compromise in integrity, whether hardware or software, presents vulnerability to cyber attacks. A malicious actor can control network devices, steal or manipulate data, or deny specific traffic flows and spread to other parts of the network. Verifying device integrity and establishing device trust posture can be difficult without the critical system knowledge provided by the manufacturer.
Cisco Crosswork™ Trust Insights is a cloud-based SaaS solution that reports on the integrity of devices and provides forensics for assured inventory. It offers a cryptographically secured collection of trust and inventory data, intuitive visualization, meaningful analytics, and alerts to notify of changes that may affect device integrity. In addition, the service provides an independent and secure repository of collected evidence.
Cisco Crosswork Trust Insights uniquely leverages the trust technologies built into Cisco platforms. For example, it utilizes the cryptographic identity as part of a trust anchor to validate information collected from the device. Trust Insights also uses an automated feed of up-to-date fingerprints derived from software build processes to validate device integrity in the run time.

Analyze trustworthiness with verifiable evidence
Cisco Crosswork Trust Insights reports on inventory changes and system integrity information with comprehensive coverage across hardware and software. It utilizes Cisco Crosswork Data Gateway as a proxy deployed in your network to collect data from network devices using a cryptographically secured channel. It enables you to:
● Track and analyze system integrity changes utilizing intuitive dashboard and investigative workflows
● Maintain verifiable evidence as proof-of-change for compliance
● Analyze the history of changes for traceability and forensic analysis
● Maximize the benefits of the built-in trust technologies in the devices
Today, telemetry provided by networks is plentiful, but the existing toolsets are unable to comprehensively assess the device’s integrity. This assessment is required not only at the boot time, but also at runtime and retrospectively to preserve trustworthiness.
