Complete Control
Centralized Management
The Cisco WSA’s intuitive management interface centralizes policy management and reporting,
offering global control from a simple-to-use single interface.

Deep Web Usage and Application Visibility
With the Cisco WSA, you get deep visibility into evolving application and microapplication
content. Specifically, Cisco WSA identifies and classifies the most relevant and widely used
web and mobile applications, such as Facebook, and more than 150,000 microapplications,
such as Facebook games. This is done by combining identity, time, content, location, and
outbound-compliance data to build and maintain application policy.

Coupled with this visibility, the Cisco WSA offers the precise control over application and
usage behavior. It can regulate bandwidth consumption and apply conditional controls, such
as throttling, based on the location or profile of the user and the type of device. In addition,
the Cisco WSA provides dynamic, context-based control of user access to applications based
on user profile, device, and access mechanism. You can also set up policy to control SaaS
applications such as Salesforce.com or WebEx.

Data Loss Prevention
The Cisco WSA blocks sensitive information from leaving the safety of the network, helping to
ensure compliance and reduce risk (see Figure 5). This capability is in addition to the controls
for outbound content such as file-sharing applications. You’re able to prevent uploads to file-
sharing services in the cloud, including iCloud and Dropbox. You can also stop confidential data
from leaving the network by creating context-based rules for basic data loss prevention (DLP)
or by using the Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) to integrate with any third-party DLP
solution for deep content inspection and enforcement of DLP policies.
