According to Enterprise Strategy Group, more than half of production workloads will be running on public cloud infrastructure within the next two years, positioning cloud computing center-stage as the best practice for solving critical business issues and enabling agility.
The unforeseen by-product of this evolution is complexity, and complexity is the enemy of security.
Organizations need to employ a holistic security approach that targets the entire threat chain from initial access to external connectivity and data exfiltration.
The importance of egress security in today's multicloud world.
This communication is an opportunity for security teams to detect, identify, and stop malicious activity before real damage has been done.
Egress security often acts as the last line of defense before workloads reach the public Internet or other unauthorized networks.
Egress security was rarely an issue when everything sat in a hardened data center behind robust firewalls and applications rarely tried to communicate with outside entities on the public Internet.
Existing multicloud security solutions were designed for a world that doesn't exist anymore and haven't kept up with the acceleration of cloud transformation.
Teams across the organization are left on their own for harmonizing the delicate balance between securing users and applications, connecting correct users to the correct applications across multicloud environments, and securely mitigating complexity as they scale.
Cisco Multicloud Defense simplifies egress security.
Cisco Multicloud Defense helps security teams gain multidirectional protection across multiple clouds and workloads to block inbound attacks, prevent lateral movement and stop data exfiltration - and it allows you to do this all from a single SaaS platform.
Cisco Multicloud Defense alleviates security complexity across public and private cloud environments with consistent policy controls and deep visibility into workloads - including potentially-malicious and unauthorized traffic flowing out of the network such as command and control communications and data exfiltration.
Just as critical, security teams can be assured that policies are being applied appropriately and consistently across multiple cloud environments through tag-based policies.
Cisco Multicloud Defense enables egress filtering through advanced domain and URL filtering capabilities combined with DLP. Working together in a single solution provides unparalleled visibility into all cloud workloads, allowing organizations to automatically detect and analyze outbound communications, identify malicious intent and risk, and block unauthorized connectivity and data exfiltration.
Cisco Multicloud Defense uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify these unauthorized communications, alert security teams of the breach, and automatically apply policies that severe connectivity.
Cisco Multicloud Defense integrates these DLP capabilities with egress filtering to stop the loss of information before it is too late.
Keeping multicloud environments secure without impacting productivity or agility.
Cisco Multicloud Defense provides security throughout the entire threat chain - from initial breach to data exfiltration.
Egress security gives organizations the ability to identify suspicious or abnormal behavior that may alter the controlled flow of data inside and outside of the network.
Cisco Multicloud Defense greatly simplifies security across complex environments, ensuring that organizations can take full advantage of the ever-evolving multicloud world.
