Cisco Cloud Protection Suite

Complete Protection, from Ground to Cloud

The Cloud Protection Suite marries simplicity, flexibility, and investment protection for easy adoption of Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall — protecting your apps and data, gaining pervasive visibility, and simplifying security operations across your environment.

Security Architected for Tomorrow, Ready Today

Leaning on dozens of products to protect your apps and data makes you even more vulnerable to threats. The Cisco Cloud Protection Suite brings together consistent zero trust policies with a security architecture designed to defend modern, AI-scale data centers — simplifying policy administration with centralized cloud management and AI-driven insights across Cisco security services.

Three Outcomes the Cloud Protection Suite Delivers

Gain Pervasive Visibility

Go beyond the basics and get deep visibility into application behavior down to the process level, as well as context about app dependencies and interactions with other apps, users, and devices.

Reduce the Attack Surface

Prevent unauthorized lateral movement and safeguard applications across data center and clouds with topology-aware security that understands app dependencies and applies segmentation policies optimally across the Cisco security fabric.

Stop Threats and Close Exploits

Block known threats as well as zero-day exploits and malware hidden in encrypted traffic. Mitigate vulnerabilities with an AI-native rule engine that prioritizes, recommends, and applies surgical compensating controls.

Platform Capabilities

Safeguard Applications Wherever They Live

Safeguard Applications Wherever They Live

Segment any application in any environment using consistent zero trust policies with a security architecture designed to defend modern, AI-scale data centers.

Stay Ahead of Threats

See and block malware in encrypted traffic, stop zero-day variants, and prevent exploits with powerful Cisco innovations.

Defend the Hybrid Cloud Environment

Gain multidirectional protection across clouds and data centers to stop inbound attacks, data exfiltration, and lateral movement.

Close the Exploit Gap

Protect against vulnerabilities with an AI-native rule engine that prioritizes vulnerability and automatically recommends a surgical mitigating control that has been tested against live production traffic to ensure apps keep running.

Protect Modern Kubernetes Workloads

Get cloud-native forensics, compliance monitoring, and threat detection by using the power of eBPF. Integrate network and runtime behavior with Kubernetes identity.

Increase Productivity and Efficacy

Simplify policy administration with centralized cloud management and AI-driven insights across Cisco security services. Leverage AI assistance for policy lifecycle and proactive AIOps.
