Integrating Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN with Microsoft Sentinel
Again in 2021, Cisco was an early integrator of SD-WAN with Microsoft Azure Digital WAN, creating hybrid WAN structure that delivers a contemporary transit structure to assist Azure connectivity. This integration permits customers to seamlessly prolong their SD-WAN overlay into Azure to enhance cloud connectivity from distant workplaces. Primarily, Cisco made it straightforward to attach SD-WAN to Azure.
Now, with the combination of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN and Microsoft Sentinel, we’re enhancing the safety of our prospects’ networks by leveraging the safety stack operating on SD-WAN material to enhance visibility and threat-hunting capabilities supplied by Sentinel.
Microsoft Sentinel is a scalable, cloud-native answer that delivers clever safety analytics and risk intelligence throughout the enterprise to supply:
- Safety info and occasion administration (SIEM)
- Safety orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR)
With Microsoft Sentinel, customers have a single console that helps assault detection, risk visibility, proactive searching, and risk response.
However for Microsoft Sentinel to extra utterly ship on its promise of seeing and stopping threats, it should entry community and safety knowledge touring over the WAN. That is the place Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN is available in.
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN presents a extremely safe, cloud-scale structure that’s open, programmable, and scalable. By the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Supervisor—previously often called vManage—console, customers can shortly set up an SD-WAN overlay material and use it to attach knowledge facilities, branches, campuses, and colocation services. As well as, they will leverage the identical console to use granular superior safety inspection profiles that enhance community velocity, safety, visibility, and effectivity.
Integrating Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN with Microsoft Sentinel provides enterprises a complete safety answer. Together with MITRE ATT&CK protection, organizations profit from clever safety analytics, risk intelligence integration, safety orchestration and automation, automated response playbooks, enhanced visibility into consumer conduct, and seamless integration with the broader safety ecosystem. These capabilities strengthen organizations’ safety posture, permitting them to successfully detect, reply to, and mitigate a variety of safety threats.
By the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN and Microsoft Sentinel integration, your safety operations middle (SOC) group can acquire visibility into what’s taking place in your community, providing complete safety analytics and incident response capabilities, in addition to equipping enterprises to successfully fight the delicate incursion methods described within the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
The combination begins by showcasing very important community info, similar to essential intrusion occasions and malicious actions. Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN next-generation firewall (NGFW) intercepts and block these actions. It then forwards logs and safety occasions to Sentinel, supporting end-to-end visibility. Complete incident stories can then be generated when threats are detected by the embedded Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN safety stack. Your safety group can then learn these incident stories and use the knowledge to guard your community.
“Our integration with Microsoft Sentinel empowers organizations to take proactive measures in securing their networks. By combining Cisco’s experience in networking and safety with Microsoft Sentinel’s enhanced risk searching, analytics, incident response, and automation capabilities, we offer companies with the instruments they should keep one step forward of rising threats and make sure the integrity of their community infrastructure.”
