Threat-Centric Security

Changing business models, a dynamic threat landscape, and complex, fragmented security solutions call for a new security model.

To deal with today's biggest security challenges, organizations need a simpler, scalable, threat-centric approach that addresses security across the entire attack continuum – before, during, and after an attack.

Before an attack, you need comprehensive awareness of and visibility showing what's on the extended network so you can implement policies and controls to defend it.

During an attack, the ability to continuously detect malware and block it is critical.

After an attack, you need to marginalize the impact of an attack by identifying point of entry, determining the scope, containing the threat, eliminating the risk of re-infection, and remediating.

The Cisco threat-centric security model is built to address your biggest security challenges, cover the entire attack continuum, and reduce security gaps and complexity caused by disparate products and disjointed solutions.

The comprehensive Cisco portfolio of platform-based cybersecurity solutions offer these benefits.
