Cisco Security Cloud Control Firewall Management

What Cisco Security Cloud Control Firewall Management is

Cisco Security Cloud Control Firewall Management is a cloud service for managing security policies and device configurations across multiple Cisco security platforms. Supported areas include Secure Firewall ASA and FTD, Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, on-premises Firewall Management Center, Meraki MX, Cisco IOS devices, Cisco Umbrella, and AWS Security Groups. For on-premises Firewall Management Center devices, it provides centralized policy management and zero-touch provisioning of Firewall Threat Defense devices. Tenants can manage approximately 500 devices through the Secure Device Connector, or any number through the cloud connector. Most live devices and services require an open HTTPS connection to that connector. Optional Security Analytics and Logging offers Essentials, Advantage, and Premier tiers with 2 TB, 4 TB, and 10 TB storage limits and retention up to five years. API-only users can create REST API tokens but cannot sign in to the interface. Base subscription support includes updates, major upgrades, and Cisco Technical Assistance Center access. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial and no free plan.
