With Cisco Secure Application on the Cisco ObservabilityPlatform, customershave more flexibility and choice when it comes to tackling their most difficult securitychallenges.
Managing an organization's security posture is extraordinarily complex - new bad actors, exploits and threats are constantly bubbling up. Meanwhile, organizations haveadeep responsibility for their customer and user data safety, as well as legal obligations for data handling from regulations like GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) among others! One seemingly small breach can be catastrophic for a brand's bottom line and can erode customer trust forever.
As the amount of data created and used grows exponentially, the need to ensure that it's secure is more important than ever. However,traditional solutions lack the shared business context needed to rapidly assess risks and alignteams based on potential business impact. With the breadth of Cisco's portfolio, we are uniquely able to provide the Observability organizations need to tackle their most difficult security challenges.
Observability enables teams adopting a devsecops framework to secure their applicationsefficiently.However, not all organizationsare structured the same wayeven though they mayhave similar security objectives. Recognizing this, we are now introducing Cisco Secure Application as a standalone Cisco Observability Platform application. Previously, IT teams who wanted to deploy Cisco Secure Application would need to do so coupled with cloud native application performance monitoring from Cisco Cloud Observability. Now, they can secure their cloud-native applications and protect their sensitive data at scale, withoutadditional commitments.
This new, standalone application supports two, separate modules: the newData Security moduleand theCloud Security module.
Failure to protect your consumers' Personally Identifying Information (PII) and other sensitive data could result in hefty fines (GDPR noncompliance, for example, could lead to fines up to E20 million, or 4% of previous year's annual revenue) and permanently damage a brands' reputation.
The new Data Security module helps teams regain control and proactively secure their sensitive data, while also ensuring its compliance with the regulatory standards. Using leading AI technologies, it helps:
Gone are the days of tedious, manual updating to ensure data is safe and compliant. Now, IT owners can feel confident that they are comprehensively protecting their sensitive data. Visit the new Data Security webpage to learn more.
With data and tools becoming increasingly distributed within IT and providing growing number of attack surfaces, it can be difficult to know where the threats are and how to address them. Cisco's Cloud Security Module can help by providing real-time vulnerability analytics and business risk observability for cloud native applications. What I love, and is unique to Cisco, is that by combining the strength of our portfolio, we can not only help organizations identify security issues across application entities, but we can also help teams triage the threats that carry the most impact to the business and act with real-time guidance and actions.
With the new standalone Cisco Secure Application on the Cisco Observability Platform, teams now have more choice in how they address their cloud native application and data security needs. With the visibility and actionable insights to quickly locate, prioritize, and remediate security issues, organizations can feel confident in their ability to secure cloud native applications and safeguard sensitive data at scale - ultimately protecting their reputations and revenue.
