The Security Dilemma |
 |
| |
In the past, many businesses thought they had to make a choice when it came to security: They could use best-
of-breed products that were effective against specific types of threats but did not fully integrate into a defense system. Or, they could take a systems approach, assimilating products that were "good enough" into an intelligent system architecture. For modern businesses, however, neither option is enough. To meet today's security challenges, businesses need both best-of-breed product capabilities and the ability to plan, design, integrate, and operate those capabilities as an overarching, autonomous system. Only one security vendor can provide such a solution: Cisco®. |

Best-of-Breed Security |
 |
| |
The Cisco Self-Defending Network combines best-of-breed point technologies to address emerging threats, a systems approach built on Cisco's industry-leading product portfolio to autonomously respond to pervasive threats, and Cisco's differentiating security services portfolio to help make the solutions approach a reality. This unique, comprehensive approach to information security is helping businesses around the globe reduce IT security and compliance risk, enforce business policies, and protect critical assets, while lowering administrative burden and reducing total cost of ownership.
Self-Defending Network Foundation: Network and Endpoint Security
The core strategy of the Cisco Self-Defending Network is to make network security integrated into the network, adaptive to new threats, and collaborative across multiple capabilities and devices. Since the 1990s, Cisco has continually evolved its product portfolio under this guiding philosophy. Today’s Cisco network security solutions are:
- Integrated—Market-leading Cisco products embed a robust suite of security services into the network. Cisco provides security options using Cisco IOS® Software security features; modules in Cisco routers, switches, and adaptive security appliances; dedicated Cisco security appliances; or a combination of technologies. Today, more than 1.4 million Cisco routers and more than 3 million switches used by companies around the world provide integrated security.
- Adaptive—Cisco security products augment traditional signature-based detection technologies with behavioral-based capabilities. Cisco Security Agent, for example, monitors endpoint operating systems to detect suspicious behavior, allowing it to respond to both known and unknown “day-zero” threats. Technologies such as Cisco Guard Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation, Cisco Anomaly Guard, and Cisco NetFlow Event Management products provide sophisticated capabilities to detect and dynamically respond to abnormal events such as DDoS attacks.
- Collaborative—Cisco’s commitment to collaboration among diverse network components helps organizations implement more pervasive protection and simplify security management. For example, if Cisco Security Agent detects suspicious activity on a host PC, it can communicate with the Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (MARS). Cisco Security MARS then collaborates with the Cisco network IPS solution to closely monitor traffic flows to and from that endpoint and cut off any potential attack. To enhance policy enforcement, Cisco Security Manager allows organizations to configure policies through a centralized interface and push changes out across the entire environment. Cisco Unified Communications and wireless technologies are designed to draw on multiple components of these solutions to enforce security.
