Are we defensive? Are we ready for the next major breach?

Companies around the world are worried that the next major cyber security hole will emerge. It may endanger sensitive data, shake the public’s confidence in the corporate brand, cause the network to be unusable, work efficiency, and even tens of thousands of dollars in losses. Management often asks their IT team: “Are we defending? Are our employee and customer data safe? Are we prepared for the next major cyber attack?” These questions are hard to answer. Even if IT answers “yes” to these questions, there is often uncertainty in this “yes” answer. What is the reason? Because although a set of robust security tools are deployed, there is no guarantee that they will be able to defend against attacks.

I don’t know if I know everything. I can’t stop loopholes that I can’t see

Malware is more complex than ever before, and cybercriminals are merciless in attacks. The IT team heated up the firewall, hoping to stop these attacks and deal with them before they managed to sneak inside. However, their firewalls make it difficult for them to gain insight into their systems, so that they cannot detect hidden threats and quickly stop them before they cause damage. In short, “The team is not sure if his firewall and other security tools present them with a full picture of the threat. If they don’t know the existence of malicious threats, they can’t stop them quickly.

I am overwhelmed. My products are torturing me, not serving me.

When facing these challenges, the resources, staff and time of the IT team are often limited. They felt overwhelmed and felt just playing a game of mole-mouse with the threat. Their firewalls may trigger threat alerts but the number of alerts is too large to count. Many of these alerts are false positives and lack practical information needed to prioritize and take action. They don’t know which alerts to trust, and defenses cannot keep up with the evolution of threats. They can only focus on dealing with the problem, so that they can’t spare enough time to solve the problem.

With Cisco NGFW, you can: Automatically prevent vulnerabilities and allow enterprises to focus on business development

Cisco NGFW uses various functions to automatically prevent loopholes, protect the safety of the organization, and ensure the normal operation of the network, thereby achieving stable business operations. This is all thanks to the best threat intelligence collected by the Cisco Taos team, which is composed of more than 250 threat researchers and analysts. They analyze millions of malware samples and terabytes of data every day, formulate security protection measures (Snot rules and threat indicators), and automatically share this information with Cisco NGFw. When the firewall checks the flow, it uses this threat intelligence to protect your organization from known, unknown and new threats around the clock. Wannacry? Notpetya? Vpnfilter? Talos has exhausted all these (and other) vulnerabilities, so customers who use Cisco firewalls do not need to take any action to automatically get protection-with good results

With Cisco NGFW, you can: Gain in-depth network and security visibility, quickly detect and stop threats

Cisco NGFW not only provides security protection and access control, but also provides more other functions to help you gain insight into remote sensing surveys and potentially malicious file activities in users, hosts, networks, and infrastructure. This allows you to quickly detect malicious activities and eliminate them in the bud before causing damage. Our advanced security features help you discover more vulnerabilities so you can stop more threats

• Next Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGPS): The top intrusion prevention system on the market can help you discover more vulnerabilities and automatically prevent advanced threats.
• Advanced Malware Protection (AMP): Through continuous analysis of file activities, it helps you to eliminate 1% of the malware that is the first line of defense.
• Identity Service Engine (SE): Track users, control access, and implement firewall policies on devices in the network.

With Cisco NGFW, you can: Automate actions to help save time, reduce complexity, and increase the intelligence of your work

Cisco NGFW can help you automate network and security operations, saving time and reducing complexity, allowing you to focus on high-priority tasks. Determine the priority of threat alerts so that you don’t have to play a “mouse game” with threats, and you can focus on the most important matters. Cisco NGFW works with other Cisco integrated security tools to provide you with Visibility of the attack vector (from the green edge to the terminal). When the tool system finds a threat in one place, it will automatically stop the threat in all locations. Cisco NGFW and ISE share policy information so that ISE can automatically implement policies on the device. If the terminal-oriented Cisco AMP isolates a file on a specific device or multiple devices, it will automatically notify the Cisco NGFW.
