  Introduction to Security 
Intrusion Prevention 
As an important defense layer, the Unified CCE Cisco Security Agent policy can be used to provide 
"day-zero" threat protection for servers. It helps to reduce operational costs by identifying, 
preventing, and eliminating known and unknown security threats. 
Patch Management 
A system is typically not connected to a live network until all security updates have been applied. It 
is important for all hosts to be kept up-to-date with Microsoft (Windows, SQL Server, Internet 
Explorer, and so forth) and other third-party security patches. 
For most of these security layers, the Unified CCE solution supports a number of capabilities to enforce 
the defense-in-depth paradigm illustrated in 
. However, what Cisco cannot control or enforce 
is your enterprise policies and procedures for deploying and maintaining a secure Unified CCE solution.

Platform Differences 
Before discussing how to design the various security layers required for a Unified CCE network, this 
section introduces the differences that are inherent in the applications making up the Unified CCE 
solution.
