Secure Firewall helps you plan and prioritize your approach to security, close gaps in your architecture, and recover from security breaches, stronger.

Rethinking how to protect your expanding network infrastructure from evolving threats? You’re not alone. With the proliferation of applications, AI technologies, and mobile workers, a more robust and flexible security approach is critical to seal every gap. 
 
Introducing Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall.  
 
Join this webinar and discover how to seismically shift the way you protect your AI-ready data center. This highly distributed security fabric stops advanced threats, protects application vulnerabilities, and activates zero-trust segmentation across environments.  

In this session, you’ll learn about unified cloud management and why having a centralized interface is critical for security enforcement in hybrid environments.  
 
You’ll also discover how to: 
 
- Safeguard key boundaries while protecting against zero days and hidden threats within encrypted traffic  
- Reduce your attack surface and contain the blast radius with coarse and fine-grained segmentation  
- Protect the development and deployment of AI applications to secure your AI transformation  
- Leverage Hybrid Mesh Firewall and its AI-native rule engine to prioritize vulnerabilities and close exploit gaps

Protecting the AI-Ready Data Center with Hybrid Mesh Firewall

With over 600 new Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) published each week, organizations are simply unable to keep up with the massive volume. Defenders must not only discover but also prioritize the vulnerabilities the pose the greatest risk to the business. Even then, it can take weeks or months to qualify a patch to remediate a CVE. Meanwhile attackers are exploiting systems within minutes or hours.

Organizations need to be able to quickly prioritize the vulnerabilities that matter most and in cases where a patch is not available – apply a compensating control to close the exploit gap – without disrupting critical operations.
In this webinar, Cisco experts will showcase Data Center Security innovations that enable you to better protect your organization against vulnerabilities without impacting your applications. Join us to learn how Distributed Exploit Protection discovers and prioritizes vulnerabilities and uses AI-native capabilities to surgically apply compensating controls to protect against known and unknown exploits.

Key takeaways  
- Understand how Cisco is leveraging AI and built-in vulnerability management to prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities.  
- Learn how AI and dual data plane innovations are accelerating protection against known and unknown vulnerabilities.   
- Discover how to surgically apply compensating controls in the path of the process to prevent an exploit while keeping applications running.

Closing the exploit gap with Cisco

Discover how to overcome the challenges of implementing your segmentation initiatives wherever you are in your journey. Learn how to replicate, manage, and scale segmentation across your hybrid networks to ensure robust security and meet compliance requirements in the era of AI. Agenda will cover how to: Gain comprehensive visibility into the behavior of applications and devices, as well as their interactions with users and each other, by utilizing both agent-based and/or agentless approaches. Realize faster, more effective security posture with instant shared policies, identity, and context across network infrastructure and security environments. Shrink the attack surface with effective macro and micro segmentation across the data center and clouds to the campus or branch. Mitigate threats and exploits with advanced threat protection, visibility into encrypted traffic, vulnerability detection and risk prioritization. Simplify operations by enabling network and security teams to easily control access to network resources through a role-based centralized management platform. Cisco’s data center security helps you quickly elevate your security posture while simplifying operations in the era of AI and helps you achieve compliance requirements and zero trust mandates with a complete best-in-class segmentation solution.

Secure your Hybrid Data Centers with Cisco’s Best in Class Segmentation – A Live Demonstration

Get smarter about application segmentation to shrink your attack surface Segmentation is only as good as the visibility it’s built on, and because every organization is unique, one size doesn’t fit all. Whatever your situation, we know segmentation has to be a manageable, repeatable, and scalable process – and work with where you are today. Join us for a webinar where we’ll discuss the different stages and solutions for segmentation and how Cisco can help protect any app, user, or device across a hybrid data center. Cisco Security experts will illustrate how to leverage our Data Center Security solution to quickly shrink your attack surface and utilize granular control, down to the process level on traditional workloads (VM-based architectures like Windows, Linux, and bare metal) as well as modern Kubernetes apps. Key takeaways How to quickly reduce the attack surface by segmenting without agents. How to achieve granular control down to the process level with agents across the hybrid data center. How to simplify policy controls within Kubernetes environments. What Cisco innovations look like with embedded AI to automate, augment, and assist segmentation for modern Kubernetes.

Environmental complexity, resource constraints, and a sophisticated threat landscape heighten the need for security tool convergence, indicates John Grady, Principal Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). Standalone, detection-only security solutions are simply not enough to keep up.

What’s needed, instead, are fully integrated solutions that encompass detection, response, and remediation. But within this unrelenting tidal wave of unpredictable, creative, and aggressive threats, a core question arises: how do companies achieve this more connected ecosystem? 

Grady joins two industry experts from Cisco in this Fireside Chat to discuss this topic and provide an independent assessment of the benefits Cisco Secure Firewall brings to the table. Tune in for 3 essential takeaways and a Q&A on:
1. What roadblocks do teams run into when upgrading or adding firewalls?
2. How does Cisco Secure Firewall address emerging security challenges?
3. Real customer benefits & successes using Cisco Secure Firewall and networking solutions.

Cisco Secure Firewall: The foundation for secure, intelligent networks

ESG research indicates that 63% of employees now work remotely or in a hybrid manner, which means effectively and efficiently providing secure connectivity to remote workers and branches is a mainstay concern. 

Companies in this situation, too, are often bogged down with myriad point tools in use, resource and staffing constraints, and security gaps that allow attackers to move laterally with ease. 

However, with simpler branch routing from Cisco’s Secure Firewalls and Zero Trust Application Access, for instance, you can dissolve these pain points. 

Register for the following webcast to hear ESG Analyst John Grady’s perspective on VPN replacement and zero trust network access (ZTNA) adoption for remote sites and users. You’ll also gain insight from Cisco experts on how their solutions help organizations improve their security posture while promoting operational efficiency.

The Total Economic Impact of Cisco Secure Firewall

Organizations always have the option of decrypting traffic to scan for threats, but certificate management can be a complex process when decryption is required across a distributed enterprise. 

Moreover, as the amount of encrypted traffic increases, attackers utilize it to stealthily deliver malware, obfuscate command and control traffic, and hide data exfiltration. According to ESG, 24% of recent survey respondents fell victim to an encrypted attack once; 45% did so multiple times.

The main takeaway from this context is this: your security teams need a multi-pronged approach for detecting encrypted threats. Tune into this custom Fireside Chat to glean best practices for detecting—and improving visibility into—these threats as told by ESG Analyst John Grady. You’ll also learn how: 
• Cisco Secure Firewall’s encrypted visibility engine uses AI/ML to block encrypted threats 
• Cisco’s 4200 series appliance accelerates TLS decryption without compromising performance
