Centralize security management for Cisco solutions
In today’s complex network security landscape, managing diverse environments often leads to inefficiencies and errors, particularly when juggling multiple solutions across hybrid and multicloud environments. Organizations need a unified interface to streamline security policy management while strengthening their overall security posture. Cisco Security Cloud Control addresses these challenges by providing a single solution for managing Hybrid Mesh Firewall and Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), enhancing security outcomes and reducing misconfigurations.
Security Cloud Control transforms security operations with its cloud-native design and AI-driven features. By consolidating security and automating tasks like device provisioning and policy updates, it improves visibility, scalability, and efficiency. It provides unified management for Hybrid Mesh Firewall, a highly distributed security fabric that stops advanced threats, protects applications, and enforces zero trust segmentation across data centers, campuses, and IoT environments.
Additionally, Security Cloud Control enables Universal ZTNA, ensuring seamless zero trust enforcement across cloud and on-premises environments. By converging network and security, it delivers a simplified experience for hybrid workforces with consistent ZTNA policies enforced per application.
This integrated approach unifies security across multiple devices and products. The Cisco AI Assistant further reduces complexity in rule management and mitigates risk. Security Cloud Control establishes a robust, adaptive defense system that evolves with the network, optimizing both security and operational efficiency.
