Introduction to Cisco Secure Workload

The Cisco Secure Workload platform is designed to provide comprehensive workload security by establishing a micro perimeter around every workload. The micro perimeter is available across your on-premises and multicloud environment using firewall and segmentation, compliance and vulnerability tracking, behavior-based anomaly detection, and workload isolation. The platform uses advanced analytics and algorithmic approaches to offer these capabilities.

This document describes the new features, enhancements, behavior changes and bug fixes, if any, in Cisco Secure Workload.
