We’ll also have a live Q&A session with XDR Product Managers on a wide range of topics.

XDR: Enhanced Cisco XDR Incident Process

Today’s threats are evolving quickly and security tools and the professionals who manage them cannot keep pace to effectively defend their organizations, let alone take proactive steps to stay ahead of the next threat.  
In this webinar, hear directly from B&M, one the UK’s fastest growing retail companies, about how they have simplified their security operations with Cisco XDR. By addressing challenges like vendor sprawl, skills gaps, and structural complexity, B&M has deployed Cisco XDR to not only detect and respond to threats sooner but also improve protection against advanced threats.  
You’ll also learn more about how B&M uses Cisco XDR to: 
 • Upskill its security team to make the most of limited resources 
 • Take a proactive approach to security 
 • Automate repetitive tasks to focus on more strategically important initiatives

XDR: B&M Security Transformation with Cisco XDR

Feeling overwhelmed from defending against cyberattacks and keeping up with ever-changing threats? As adversaries adopt new tactics such as generative AI to bypass traditional security tools, this becomes more challenging than ever. Join our upcoming webinar to learn how to effectively detect and respond to complex attacks with support from Cisco security experts.  
Learn how to:  
 • Transform your security operations with always-on defense from Cisco’s managed XDR service. 
 • Stay ahead of threats while significantly reducing security risks.  
 • Operate with confidence and focus on your top priorities while shrinking the total cost of ownership of cybersecurity.

XDR: Transforming Your SecOps with Cisco Managed XDR

Join us for a webinar to get an introduction to Cisco XDR and learn more about how it works with Meraki MX appliances to promote a unified approach to secure network operations. We’ll start by covering Cisco XDR, which empowers your network and security team to:
 • Act on what truly matters, faster, by prioritizing threats and streamlining investigations
 • Elevate productivity by filtering out the noise and automating tasks, and boosting the output of your limited resources
 • Build resilience with actionable intelligence that closes security gaps and helps you get stronger every day
Organizations are moving towards making their network operations more secure for one clear reason: security incidents are amongst the leading causes of network outages. However, bringing Network Operations and Security Operations closer remains aspirational for many.
While encryption of data in motion has enhanced network security, it has also introduced another larger problem; encryption serves to hide malicious content. An Extended Detection and Response (XDR) security overlay is becoming increasingly necessary to catch advanced threats.
The integration of the Meraki platform with Cisco XDR does just that. Cisco’s network-led open XDR provides built-in network detection and response (NDR) capabilities which give Meraki platform users early warning of advanced threats developing in the network. It allows the Network Administrator to assign critical incidents to security analysts and collaborate with the security team to mitigate the risk in real-time.

XDR: A Unified Approach to Securing the Network

When ransomware strikes, a slow response can make an already dire situation even worse, causing further data encryption and loss, disruption to your business operations, and financial and reputational damage from which your organization may never fully recover.  
An intelligent automated response to ransomware changes the game.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
 • How to address common early ransomware detection and response challenges 
 • How to limit loss and recover more quickly from a ransomware attack
 • New ways to reduce the time from detection to action
 • How to use forensic snapshots to fully investigate your incident
 • A demo of Cisco XDR automated ransomware recovery with Cohesity

XDR: Ransomware Recovery: Automating Response to Safeguard Your Data

Universities are becoming increasingly appealing targets for cyber threats like malware, ransomware, and phishing. According to Security Intelligence, in 2022, 89 education sector organizations fell victim to ransomware attacks impacting 44 colleges and universities. Educause lists cybersecurity as the number one IT issue for 2024. 
With such complex technology and security stacks, SecOps teams at these institutions struggle to efficiently process the intelligence they receive from their tools. Traditional security tools are no longer sufficient to combat advanced threats that infiltrate multiple environments. Given these challenges, how can security teams keep student, faculty, and staff activity secure from increasingly creative and persistent adversaries? 
In this webinar with Cisco Cybersecurity Executive Advisor Helen Patton, Tim Burns and Jesse Beauman from UNC Charlotte, we will explore:  
 • How higher education institutions can use the latest security tech to defend against advanced threats across their networks.  
 • How a streamlined cybersecurity approach enables SecOps teams to do more with less. 
 • The ways in which an XDR solution improves visibility, equipping security teams to respond to threats quickly and effectively.

XDR: Building a secure future: Cybersecurity strategies for higher education

Cybersecurity today can be complicated. Yet, the goal is straight-forward. Protect users as they access applications and resources and stop threats before they reach your users or network. Security Service Edge (SSE) is the architectural approach needed to lower risk in today’s hyper-distributed environments, securing users and things as they access private apps, SaaS apps, and the internet.  
In this educational webinar, we will highlight the aspects of SSE that protect internet and public SaaS application traffic. As cyberthreats have proliferated and grown in sophistication, techniques to counter them have had to evolve as well.   
View the third session in the Security Service edge (SSE) Institute to learn about a variety of capabilities, grounded in the Zero Trust principles, that can thwart SaaS/internet cyberthreats and lower risk in your organization.

Step Up Your Game: Modernize How You Secure Access to SaaS Apps and the Internet

Your security goals might be clear (like securing access from users working anywhere to applications located everywhere, for instance), but maybe the path forward isn’t quite as simple. You might need a roadmap and a guide to figure out how to get exactly where you want to go. Most security leaders know the importance of zero trust in strengthening their security, but there are still plenty of questions: what do you do first? What should you not do at all? 
View the second part of our 2-part webinar series led by Avinash Naduvath, acclaimed author of “In Zero Trust We Trust.” Dive into the actionable steps of the zero trust framework and learn how to: 
 • Navigate the six phases of zero trust adoption with confidence 
 • Apply the zero trust model to real-world scenarios 
 • Anticipate common challenges to keep progressing in your zero trust journey 
Plus, get a sneak peek into our new zero trust solutions and information on consulting services.
