Cisco empowers the endpoint to be more efficient, effective

Cisco unleashes XDR capabilities from the SecureX Platform, says Al Huger, VP and GM, Security Platform and Response, Cisco Secure.

It’s been a year since Cisco launched SecureX, and we recognise it takes a village to innovate and celebrate. Throughout Cisco’s journey delivering the first-ever integrated security platform to market, our team of experienced cyber security experts, accomplished engineers and product management have remained closely aligning with CISOs and security customers to deeply understand – and think ahead of – the challenges of the modern security portfolio.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to a radically simplified security experience for customers – innovating at the endpoint, in network and application environments, and in the platform.

On this first anniversary of SecureX, we are accelerating our customers’ ability to gain unified visibility more quickly across endpoint, network and cloud from our SecureX platform – empowering endpoint and user security to be more efficient and effective.

The new endpoint technologies and functionality that Cisco brings to market solidify endpoint security, while ensuring a faster, easier shift for customers to XDR, SASE and zero trust. We have made it possible for customers to streamline security in the cloud, dynamically sync firewall policies based on workload environment and boost endpoint protection to strengthen detection and response.

As Cisco further defines the emerging XDR market, we are reimagining what is possible for customers – including the more than 7 000 businesses actively using our SecureX platform. Among the latest endpoint advancements, we are helping our customers manage risk, automate policy orchestration, gain analytical context and integrate a secure culture.

Major announcements include:

  • A unified endpoint security platform to drive operational efficiency: Cisco Secure Client will reduce agent fatigue and overall cost of deploying, maintaining and managing multiple endpoint agents on a single, unified endpoint platform to efficiently secure a customer’s entire IT ecosystem.
  • The tools to help security teams hunt and find threats faster: Orbital Advanced Search, a key capability of Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP for Endpoints), doubles the number of built-in queries that can run from within the product to speed up and simplify threat hunting; 200+ advanced threat hunting queries expand detection coverage at the endpoint. This enhanced analysis outperforms in the most recent MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK evaluation.
  • Gain unprecedented visibility into assets: SecureX Device Insights quickly delivers valuable insights for your endpoint inventory from multiple sources across the enterprise, such as device managers, endpoint detection and response, anti-virus and more to consolidate, discover, normalise and work with your actual device inventory.
  • Reduce friction and increase authentication to access SaaS apps with Passwordless Access by Duo and make zero trust easy.

Wherever customers are in their digital transformation, SecureX is the gift that keeps giving. And with a year under our proverbial SecureX belts, we would like to say happy anniversary to all our customers.
