Cisco Cloud Web Security

Cisco

Cloud Web Security is a different, more comprehensive, cloud-delivered web

defense solution. It provides industry-leading, real-time protection and thorough
enforcement of web-usage policies.

Product Overview

Hacking has become a recognized industry, supporting sophisticated and well-funded criminal enterprises. Attacks

are also evolving continually, becoming more damaging and harder to detect. Traditional web security methods can

block known threats but are not able to adapt to the changing threat landscape. And they can't handle advanced

malware.

Perimeter defenses don’t address how your users access information and resources. Now it isn’t just people

outside your organization who are of concern; your own users may consume excess bandwidth or access

inappropriate content that can put your organization at risk. Their personal devices may introduce malware from

inside the firewall.

Built on an industry-leading global threat-visibility network, Cloud Web Security offers highly effective protection

against advanced and targeted threats. It continuously monitors both network and file behavior. It identifies threats

operating in the environment with Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) and Cognitive Threat Analytics.

Cloud Web Security controls web usage and blocks sites based on signature, reputation, and content analysis. It

also delivers best-in-class malware scanning through outbreak intelligence, a heuristics-based engine that

analyzes each webpage component in real time to block threats.

Cisco AMP protects against advanced malware threats, using file retrospection to track a file’s disposition over

time. Cognitive Threat Analytics continuously scans for symptoms of a breach, reducing the time to discover

threats that bypass perimeter defenses.

As a cloud service, Cloud Web Security delivers superior flexibility. You can easily deploy and scale the service

with multiple connection options while using the existing infrastructure. A single management interface provides

global control, providing enforcement of detailed web-usage policies across an entire organization no matter where

users are located or on what device. Through the Cisco AnyConnect

Secure Mobility Client, Cloud Web Security

extends its strong protection to roaming laptop users and enforces the same on-premises policies.

Our advanced global threat visibility network continually updates Cloud Web Security against the latest threats, and

the most actionable cloud-delivered intelligence reporting helps ensure superior visibility into web usage. Top-tier

data center facilities in 23 locations around the globe deliver a service-level agreement (SLA) of 99.999 percent

uptime, so that information is always available. Cloud Web Security

also comes with Cisco’s award-winning 24-

hour support.
