Cisco Security and Upstream

How Upstream Security and Cisco Security work together

At Upstream, we unlock the value of mobility data through a purpose-built AI platform to provide you with unparalleled data-driven actionable insights for cybersecurity and after-sales quality with a focus on IoT and connected vehicles.

Overview

By leveraging the power of the network and vehicle data Cisco and Upstream are driving a new era of AI-powered capabilities in the mobility ecosystem, transforming the way automakers and mobility providers secure, monitor, and optimize their connected assets. We are integrated with Secure DNS, Splunk and Cisco IoT Control Center. Together we provide overall visibility and observability for IoT, connected vehicle and network data. Providing the “what” and the “why” an incident occurred all with context in a digital twin on one timeline. Finally we can trigger a proactive response for mitigation via network controls or automated playbooks.

Product Integrations

● Cisco Secure Access

Combining DNS Security, Network anomalies and IoT/vehicle behavior e.g. data exfiltration through excessive network usage to a new domain following component replacement. The integration fuses the application traffic monitored by Secure Access together with asset level security data to provide a multi-layered approach to improve observability. The integration is two way meaning that a playbook can be triggered from Upstream to Secure Access based on multi-layered AI based insights to disable or enable security policies.

● Cisco IoT Control Center

Upstream Security ingests and contextualizes all in one AI driven timeline data from Cisco IoT Control Center. The data includes all SMS detection carrier data, bandwidth so blind spots in the network are identified and merged together with IoT device vulnerabilities in the Upstream platform providing the “what” and the “why” a threat occurred.This integration supports a closed loop remediation model so when an alert is found in Upstream the policy can be enforced in Cisco IoT Control Center.
