Learn how to prepare to implement Secure Logging Analytics (SaaS) for FDM-managed devices, including tenant access, SDC and SEC readiness, outbound connectivity, licensing, data plan, and two-factor authentication requirements.

Before you Begin

  • Review About Secure Analytics and Logging (SaaS) for FDM-Managed Devices to learn about:

    • How events are sent to the Cisco cloud

    • Applications in the solution

    • Licenses you need

    • Data plan you need

  • You have contacted your managed service provider or Security Cloud Control Sales representative and you have a Security Cloud Control tenant.

  • If you have installed an SDC for your tenant, ensure your SDC status is Active and has recorded a recent heartbeat.

  • You can install more than one SEC for your tenant and you can send events from any Firewall Device Manager to any one SEC onboarded to your tenant.

  • If you are sending events directly to the Cisco cloud from the Firewall Device Manager , you have opened up outbound access on port 443 on the management interface.
