Firewall MSP Portal Now Integrated into Security Cloud Control

The Managed Service Provider (MSP) portal is now fully integrated into Security Cloud Control’s Multi-Org experience. This unified platform empowers managed service providers to efficiently manage multiple customer organizations from a single, centralized interface.

Key capabilities include:

  • Centralized management: Seamlessly manage multiple customer organizations within one portal.

  • Comprehensive monitoring: Monitor device health, configurations, and connectivity status across all managed environments.

  • Bulk upgrades: Perform upgrades on Secure Firewall Threat Defense devices managed by the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center (cdFMC) across all tenants.

  • Enhanced visibility: Access detailed, consolidated information for all managed firewall organizations.

What this means for you:

  • Access: Use the new portal directly from security.cisco.com.

  • Legacy Portal Retirement: The previous MSP portal will be retired soon.

  • Support: Going forward, support will be provided exclusively for the integrated Security Cloud Control platform.
