White Paper 

Cisco Security Manager: Upgrade to a 4.X 
Version for New Reporting, Monitoring, Analysis, 
and Other Features 

What You Will Learn 

Cisco Security Manager is a powerful yet easy-to-use solution that is used to central provision all aspects of device 

configuration and security policies for Cisco firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), and Intrusion Prevention 

Systems (IPSs). The solution effectively manages even small networks consisting of fewer than 10 devices but can 

scale to efficiently manage large-scale networks with thousands of devices. For those using earlier releases of 

Cisco Security Manager, the recent 4.X releases provide many compelling reasons to upgrade based on a variety 

of beneficial features that are outlined in this white paper. 

Overview 

Over the years, Cisco Security Manager has evolved from being a policy management application to a full-fledged 
security management suite. Now the product’s 4.x versions not only help with device configuration, but also 

support security experts in device monitoring for heath and efficacy, provide device-level security reporting, and 

make it easier to maintain the latest software and security updates. If you are currently using the 3.x series of Cisco 

Security Manager, you will find the latest version full of new and helpful features (Figure 1) to assist you in 

managing your security operations. 

Cisco Security Manager is a comprehensive security management solution that is designed to manage several 

security devices simultaneously with ease. Through various management functions and a user-friendly interface, 

Cisco Security Manager makes security operations management more efficient and contributes to more informed 

policy decisions.
