Intelligent Network Security Automation for Cisco Secure
Cisco Secure Technical Alliance Program
The Cisco Secure Technology Alliance is a security ecosystem that facilitates open, multivendor product integrations to improve security effectiveness through automation and operational simplicity. It partners with over 200 key security vendors and integrates with over ten Cisco security products. Cisco integrations enable automated data sharing to make multivendor technologies function as one. Contextual data sharing allows you to take action to rapidly and automatically contain threats anywhere in your on-premises or cloud network.
BackBox and Cisco Secure Integrated Solution
The Cisco Secure and BackBox integrated solution provides automated backup and recovery of Cisco Secure Firewalls and other devices, eliminating the need to either manually backup devices or have customize in-house scripting, minimizing downtime when recovery is needed.
BackBox collects asset information from Cisco Secure Firewalls and other devices and then reports on inventory information, including license information, device model, serial number, and more.
BackBox can change operating system-level parameters on multiple devices from multiple vendors across the network with a single click, providing customers or network administrators with the option of delegating administrative tasks to individuals who do not require full policy access, in turn minimizing human errors that could lead to configuration errors.
The seamless integration of BackBox and Cisco devices enables organizations to continuously comply with internal and industry security policies and regulations. Users can employ BackBox to track configuration changes and differences from the baseline and have automatic remediation of these deviations to prevent violations against any policies and regulations.
