Account Requirements

Account Required for Cisco XDR Integration

To integrate the Firewall Management Center with Security Cloud Control and send events to Cisco XDR, you must have one of these regional cloud accounts:

  • Security Cloud Sign On account.

  • Secure Endpoint account.

  • Secure Malware Analytics account.

  • Security Cloud Control account.


Important

If you or your organization already has any of the above accounts on the regional cloud, use the existing account. Do not create a new account. Remember that the data associated with an account is available only to that account.

If you do not have an account, see Get an Account for Enabling Cisco XDR Integration.

For direct integration, you require a Security Cloud Control tenant to register your management center and the managed devices. If you do not already have a Security Cloud Control tenant, request one. See Request a Security Cloud Control Tenant for more information.
