Managing network security across today’s complex, extended architectures is hard work. In the face of sophisticated adversaries, security controls are needed everywhere: in your data center and private and public clouds, at remote sites, and for your mobile workers.
Cisco Defense Orchestrator is a cloud-based management solution that allows you to manage security policies and device configurations with ease across multiple Cisco and cloud-native security platforms.
Setup is easy, fast, and frictionless, allowing customers to onboard and start managing hundreds of devices within hours. The intuitive user interface and focus on simplicity means that training requirements are minimal, with a learning curve measured in hours rather than days.
Flexibility and scale are attributes of our open API as well as being a cloud technology. Because it’s a cloud solution, Cisco Defense Orchestrator does not require further capital expenditures, floor space, or application management, dramatically reducing your operational costs.
It doesn’t matter whether your organization has 5 or 5000 devices. Cisco Defense Orchestrator will provide your network operations team with the ability to reduce time spent managing and maintaining security devices, enabling them to focus on what is most important to your core business.
Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO) facilitates management of security policies in highly distributed environments to achieve consistent policy implementation.
CDO helps you optimize your security policies by identifying inconsistencies with them and by giving you tools to fix them. CDO gives you ways to share objects and policies, as well as make configuration templates, to promote policy consistency across devices.
Because CDO coexists with local device managers such as the Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM), Firepower Device Manager (FDM), and SSH connections, it keeps track of configuration changes made by CDO and by other managers. It then helps you compare changes so you are confident that you are implementing the changes you want.
CDO has an intuitive user interface that allows you to manage a wide range of devices in one place. Advanced users will also find their traditional CLI interface with some new enhancements to make management even more efficient for them.
You can conveniently manage the following devices with CDO:
