Data Sheet
Cisco Security Manager
Businesses are facing new challenges in security operations. The growing number
and increasing complexity of security technologies, combined with the reduction and
redirection of IT headcount once dedicated to security management, has dramatically
increased the potential for human error, which can lead to security exposures and
incidents. To counteract these challenges, it’s invaluable for security operations teams
to have an integrated, end-to-end management solution that facilitates consistent
policy enforcement, helps enable the rapid troubleshooting of security events, and
delivers summarized reports across the security solutions deployment.

Security Manager is a comprehensive management solution that does all that and more. It provides
scalable, centralized management that allows administrators to efficiently manage a wide range of Cisco security
devices, gain visibility across the network deployment, and share information with other essential network services,
such as compliance systems and advanced security analysis systems, with a high degree of security. Designed for
operational efficiency, Cisco Security Manager also includes a powerful suite of automated capabilities, such as
health and performance monitoring, software image management, auto-conflict detection, and integration with
ticketing systems.
Cisco Security Manager supports a wide range of Cisco security devices, including Cisco ASA 5500 Series and
ASA 5500-X Series Adaptive Security Appliances; Cisco IPS 4200, 4300, and 4500 Series Sensors; Cisco SR 500
Series Secure Routers; and the Cisco AnyConnect
®
Secure Mobility Client.
There are several key features in Cisco Security Manager that make for simplified and efficient security
management. The following sections describe these features:
Dashboard
The Cisco Security Manager dashboard (Figure 1) is a widget-
based home screen that gives a bird’s-eye view of
the health, functioning, and other key performance indicators of a network security setup. Several widgets such as
the Device Health Summary, Top Attackers, Top Victims, Top Signatures, and others, provide an excellent
summary of priority security aspects that an administrator needs to be aware of. These widgets act as a starting
point for any security readiness analysis. For example, in the Signatures widget, a user can click the number of
times a specific signature has been hit, and Cisco Security Manager will take the user to the Event Viewer, where
events corresponding to that signature can be analyzed. Similarly, the administrator can click an IP address on the
Top Attackers widget and look at value-added information related to that IP address. So in summary, the
dashboard screen is the starting point for security administrators on Cisco Security Manager. Additionally, these
dashboards can be personalized to suit each
administrator’s needs.
