Cisco Defence Orchestrator

Cisco Defence Orchestrator Security policy management allows a network operations team to easily manage policies across your Cisco security products. CDO is a cloud based application which orchestrates policies in one spot to keep your company protected against the latest threats.

Key Features & Benefits

 

    • Bring together as well as simplify integration between Firewalls and Cisco Umbrella. Defence orchestrator also allows you to identify mis-configurations early and quickly respond to threats. CDO allows you to manage policy across thousands of devices in one convenient location.

 

    • Create templates for your policies and test them out before you commit to deploy policies. Changes can be made in real time or offline, then you are able to analyse security policy configurations for consistency.

 

    • New devices can be deployed faster because the new templates give you consistent and effective protection across your Cisco environment. New updates are rolled out to all of Defence Orchestrator’s new deployment’s so it can evolve around your network.

 

    • You do not need to purchase any new hardware which is a great advantage of Defence Orchestrator and you can be up and running quickly. Since CDO is cloud based, it can save your business time in deployment and therefore save money.

 

    • Defence Orchestrator helps to save time as you do not need to manage security policies. CDO can be scaled to meet your current and future needs as you grow. Teams and resources have the ability to be freed up for higher-value and priority projects.

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.

CDO Shawmut Case Study

 

Shawmut Construction, Defence Orchestrator. CDO. Security policy management Case Study

“Cisco Defence Orchestrator was able to automate the process of identifying any duplicate, unused, or inconsistent objects, and made it very easy to combine and remove objects. This saved us days of manual, frustrating work and significantly lowered the risk of accidentally removing valid objects.”

Chris Ryan, Network Manager, Shawmut
