Cisco Security Suite

The Cisco Security Suite is a comprehensive set of advanced cybersecurity solutions designed to protect organizations across diverse environments, including on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud setups. It encompasses tools like Cisco Duo for secure access, Zero Trust architecture for continuous verification, and the Cisco Cloud Protection Suite for cloud-native security. Network Solutions leverages these tools to deliver tailored, robust security for our customers by assessing their unique environments and designing customized combinations of Cisco Security tools to address specific threats and operational needs.

Cisco Security Suite:

Network Solutions’ Tailored Approach to Superior Cybersecurity

The Cisco Security Suite is a powerful collection of integrated security solutions that safeguard organizations against evolving cyber threats. It includes Cisco Duo for secure access, Zero Trust architecture for continuous protection, and the Cisco Cloud Protection Suite for cloud-native defense. Network Solutions harnesses these tools to provide customized, high-impact security by assessing each customer’s unique environment—considering factors like infrastructure, workforce distribution, compliance needs, and threat landscape—and designing the optimal combination of Cisco Security tools to ensure the most effective protection for every situation.

duoSecure Access for Any User, Anywhere

Cisco Duo delivers multi-factor authentication (MFA), passwordless authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and device trust verification to secure access to applications and data.

Key Features:

  • Enforces MFA to prevent unauthorized access. 
  • Verifies device health to block compromised endpoints.
  • Supports seamless SSO for cloud and on-premises apps.

How Network Solutions Uses It:

Assesses customer access patterns (e.g., remote vs. on-site users) to determine the right MFA policies.

Configures Duo for high-risk environments, like financial or healthcare sectors, to meet compliance requirements (e.g., HIPAA, PCI-DSS), as well as organizations with compliance MFA requirements.

Duo is an Identity Provider (IdP) As an Identity Provider (IdP), eliminating client’s need (and associated expense) of an external IdP (such as Okta).

Customer Benefit:

Ensures only verified users and devices access sensitive systems, protecting against credential theft in remote work or BYOD scenarios.

Zero Trust

Zero Trust Architecture: Never Trust, Always Verify

Cisco’s Zero Trust model enforces continuous verification of users, devices, and workloads, assuming no entity is inherently trusted, whether inside or outside the network.

Key Features:

  • Micro-segmentation to isolate workloads and prevent lateral threat movement.
  • Real-time monitoring and behavioral analytics via Cisco Secure Network Analytics.
  • Identity-based access controls integrated with Duo and Cisco Secure Access.

How Network Solutions Uses It:

Evaluates customer network complexity (e.g., data centers, branch offices, or cloud integrations) to design granular segmentation policies.

Implements Zero Trust for industries with strict regulatory needs, like government or energy, to minimize attack surfaces.

Combines Zero Trust with endpoint and cloud tools to create a unified defense strategy tailored to each customer’s risk profile.

Customer Benefit:

Provides robust protection against insider threats and advanced persistent threats (APTs), ensuring security in dynamic, multi-cloud, or hybrid environments.

Cisco Cloud Protection Suite:

Comprehensive Cloud-Native Security

The Cisco Cloud Protection Suite integrates multiple tools to secure cloud applications, workloads, and users across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Key Components:

Cisco Umbrella: DNS-layer security to block malicious domains, IPs, and phishing attacks.

Cisco Secure Email: Protects against email-based threats like malware and business email compromise (BEC).

Cisco Secure Web Gateway: Filters web traffic to prevent access to malicious sites and enforce usage policies.

Cisco Secure Endpoint: Detects and responds to advanced threats on devices and cloud workloads.

Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics: Monitors cloud environments for anomalies and misconfigurations.

Cloudlock: Secures SaaS apps through user behavior monitoring and data loss prevention (DLP).

 

 

Key Features:

  • Real-time threat intelligence from Cisco Talos.
  • AI-driven anomaly detection and behavioral analytics.
  • Data protection for SaaS platforms like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.

 

cloud suite

 

How Network Solutions Uses It:

Conducts in-depth assessments of customer cloud adoption (e.g., AWS, Azure, or private clouds) to identify vulnerabilities and compliance gaps.

Deploys Umbrella for organizations with distributed workforces to secure internet access and block threats at the DNS layer.

Configures Secure Email and Secure Web Gateway for customers with high email or web traffic, like retail or education, to prevent phishing and malware.

Implements Secure Endpoint and Secure Cloud Analytics for enterprises with complex cloud workloads, ensuring protection against ransomware and misconfigurations.

Employs Cloudlock to secure SaaS environments for customers with sensitive data, tailoring DLP policies to specific regulatory needs.

Customer Benefit:

Enables secure cloud transformation while protecting against data breaches, ensuring compliance and operational resilience.

Cisco XDR (Extended Detection and Response)

Cisco Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a cloud-based platform integrating endpoint, network, cloud, and email data to detect and respond to threats. Powered by Cisco Talos intelligence and AI, it provides unified visibility and automated remediation.

Key Features:

  • Data Correlation: Unifies endpoint, network, and cloud data for comprehensive threat visibility.
  • AI Analytics: Uses machine learning and Cisco AI Assistant for accurate threat detection.
  • Attack Storyboards: Visualizes attack paths for actionable insights.
  • Automated Response: Orchestrates rapid remediation across tools.
