SAN JOSE, Calif., May 17, 2021-RSA Conference 2021- Cisco, the leader in enterprise security, today unveiled innovations to further its journey to radically simplify and deliver end-to-end security, across users, devices, networks, applications and data. Announcements today improve Extended Detection and Response (XDR) with greater visibility across network, endpoint and cloud. New innovations expand Cisco's vision for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) with enhanced threat detection in the cloud and redefine and simplify network security. Cisco continues to simplify customers' security, network and IT operations - empowering organizations to embark securely on digital transformation.
The world has shifted towards a more distributed workforce, and with recent global events, hybrid work is here to stay. Users now expect to connect from anywhere and on any device, while security teams have the same complex, piecemeal and time-consuming solutions. It is time to rethink security.
Security has to be at the heart of everything in the new world we live in. We believe it needs to be done with a platform approach that is simple, comprehensive and based on intelligence, said Cisco Chairman and CEO Chuck Robbins, addressing the virtual RSA Conference audience. There is really no perimeter in the enterprise to defend anymore. We need visibility across endpoints, users and applications as well as securing critical control points with continuous passwordless authentication.
Improving Visibility and Simplifying Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
The erosion of the network perimeter and transition to work-from-anywhere have conspired to expose endpoint devices, users and applications to threats more so than ever before. Organizations continue to struggle with extending visibility and protection to endpoints, with more than 40 percent globally reporting a major security incident in the last two years, according to the new Cisco Security Outcomes Study: Endpoint Edition. Organizations that do not prioritize integrated solutions were almost twice as likely to have suffered a major security event. In response, Cisco continues to expand its XDR capabilities, integrating multiple security control points and applying analytics and automation to reduce customers' time to detection and response. Cisco today announced:
Industry-leading Vulnerability Management with Kenna Security: Cisco will combine threat and risk-based vulnerability management as part of the SecureX platform with its announcement of intent to acquire Kenna Security. This integration will help customers prioritize vulnerabilities, speed and automate decision making with tailored information, and accelerate response time for cyber readiness.
SecureX Device Insights: Customers can quickly consolidate their device inventory from multiple sources within the SecureX platform to provide unsurpassed visibility and context for IT operations (ITOps) and security operations (SecOps) as well as automated threat enrichment and response.
Simplified Transition to XDR from EDR: As the only endpoint security solution with a built-in platform, SecureX continues to help customers simplify the move from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to XDR with more than 30 pre-built workflows, 40 turnkey integrations and new orchestration capabilities. In addition, Cisco Secure Client, our single agent across user, cloud and endpoint protection, enables faster XDR while reducing agent fatigue.
Expanded Investigation and Quicker Response: Cisco Secure Endpoint's advanced search technology now bolsters XDR value, offering more than 200 endpoint queries out-of-the-box to get real-time answers to support investigations, threat hunting, and IT Ops use cases such as tracking artifacts about endpoints. Organizations are increasingly looking to adopt end-to-end security architectures to support this new way of working, and we think it's critical to take a platform approach to simplify security, network, and IT operations as customers embark on digital transformation, said Gee Rittenhouse, SVP and General Manager, Cisco Secure. Since it was launched last year at RSA, more than 7,000 customers are using Cisco's SecureX platform to unlock value from existing security solutions and accelerate their migration to XDR.
SecureX device insights provides an instant view of all the endpoints and devices with details needed to assess compliance and health of all assets in my environment, said John DePalma, Cybersecurity Engineer, Sentara Healthcare. SecureX device insights delivers welcome help to gain momentum on our Zero Trust journey at Sentara.
Delivering on a SASE Vision with Enhanced Cloud Security
Today's distributed and hybrid workforce necessitates delivering protection and performance wherever employees access the internet or cloud applications. Cisco's SASE architecture integrates multiple security and networking functions into a single, secure connectivity offer. This significantly simplifies security and reduces the cost, time, and resources previously required for deployment, configuration, and integration. Continuing to deliver on its SASE vision, Cisco today announced:
Rapid Deployment of Cloud Security across SD-WAN: New integration between Cisco Umbrella and Cisco SD-WAN powered by Meraki extends the SD-WAN fabric to the cloud with the click of a button a
