If the community is the skeleton, then functions are the lifeblood of at the moment’s enterprise. They join organizations with their prospects, workers, provide chains, companions, and even generate income. Safeguarding fashionable functions operating throughout advanced hybrid multicloud environments is paramount for each dimension and kind of enterprise. Cisco Safe Workload 3.8 brings a wealth of recent capabilities to assist safety professionals defend important software workloads by simplifying complexity and unifying community controls to enhance their total safety posture.
Safe Workload protects the functions that energy enterprise in an infrastructure, location, and kind issue agnostic method. It does this by using an agent and agentless approaches to offer prospects deep visibility into each workload interplay and makes use of highly effective AI/ML-driven automation to deal with duties which can be past human scale, delivering correct and constant microsegmentation and repeatedly monitoring compliance throughout the appliance panorama.
Safe Workload 3.8 improves productiveness, lowers the general TCO for current and new prospects by delivering a minimal of fifty% larger scale on the present platforms. It additionally supplies constant agent and agentless microsegmentation for workload deployment throughout hybrid multicloud, increasing the core microsegmentation use instances. And final however definitely not least it strengthens the combination with Cisco Safe Firewall and Cisco Identification Providers Engine (ISE).
The newest model of Safe Workload continues to concentrate on enhancing the person expertise with extra automation, simplifying the onboarding course of, and including new platform APIs. The tip-to-end workflow helps prospects obtain zero belief sooner, enhance operator productiveness by 50% or extra, and considerably scale back the time to worth.
Within the digital financial system, velocity and data are the important thing currencies. The persona-based reporting dashboard launched within the 3.8 launch delivers actionable intelligence on demand, studies the general safety well being of functions, illustrates rising tendencies based mostly on historic knowledge, and introduces new Forensics alerts based mostly on the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Safe Workload 3.8 helps larger scale on the present platform and connectors which helps prospects lengthen their {hardware} life and lowers the answer’s complete price of possession. The up to date scale numbers are proven under:
And in our continued effort to ship a real multicloud zero belief resolution with agent and agentless flexibility for our prospects, the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) connector within the 3.8 launch delivers agentless microsegmentation for functions deployed in Google Cloud, including to our current help for AWS and Azure cloud.
For the reason that early days of its inception, Safe Workload has built-in with Identification Providers Engine (ISE) to handle person/machine identity-based segmentation situations within the buyer setting. Within the 3.8 launch, Safe Workload integrates with the ISE Passive ID which helps ingest person, group, and different attributes from the shopper Lively Listing and/or Azure Listing and in flip permits endpoint identity-aware visibility and coverage enforcement.
Two years in the past, we launched the native integration between Safe Workload and Safe Firewall to offer protection in depth and an agentless strategy for on-prem environments to attain zero belief. With the three.8 launch, we’re taking this integration to the following stage with topology consciousness, giving prospects the granular management to find, implement, and automate choose insurance policies on a particular firewall or set of firewalls by way of Safe Workload.
As you could know, it isn’t unusual to have important vulnerabilities unpatched in an setting regardless of best-of-breed vulnerability administration options. Whereas there are numerous components, with digital patching Safe Workload and Safe Firewall seamlessly share menace intelligence and be sure that the fitting SNORT signature is utilized to guard in opposition to a recognized vulnerability current within the buyer setting with out breaking the appliance.
Within the coming weeks, we’ll share extra details about the small print and makes use of of a number of the key capabilities delivered within the 3.8 launch.
Attain out to your account staff and schedule a stay demo and deep dive session on Safe Workload to be taught extra. And in case you’re in a position, please be part of us at Cisco Reside! 2023 in Las Vegas and see Cisco Safe Workload first-hand.
