Data Sheet

Cisco Security Manager 4.7

Cisco

Security Manager is an integrated, end-to-end solution that helps

administrators enforce consistent access policies, rapidly troubleshoot security events,
and access summarized reports across the deployment.

Product Overview

Businesses are facing ever greater challenges in security operations. The growing number and complexity of

technologies, combined with the reduction of IT professionals once dedicated to security management, has

dramatically increased the potential for human error, which can lead to exposures and breaches.

Cisco Security Manager counteracts these challenges. It provides scalable, centralized management for a wide

range of devices. Administrators gain visibility across the network and can share highly secure information with

other essential network services, such as compliance systems and advanced analysis systems. Designed for

operational efficiency, 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.

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.

Several features in Security Manager make for simplified and efficient management. The following sections

describe these features.

Dashboard

The

manager’s dashboard (Figure 1) is a widget-based home screen that gives a bird’s-eye view of the health,

functioning, and other major 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 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. Additionally, these dashboards can be personalized to suit each

ministrator’s needs.
