Data Sheet

Cisco Security Manager 4.11

Cisco

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

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

Product Overview

Businesses are facing ever greater challenges in their 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, automatic conflict detection, and integration with

ticketing systems.

Security Manager supports a wide range of Cisco security devices, including the Cisco ASA 5500 Series and ASA

5500-X Series appliances; Cisco IPS 4200, 4300, and 4500 Series Sensors; Cisco SR 500 Series Secure Routers;

and the Cisco AnyConnect

Secure Mobility Client. Cisco Security Manager 4.11 adds support for ASA

management on the Cisco Firepower 4100

™

Series Platforms.

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, and Top Signatures, provide an excellent summary of priority

security aspects. These widgets act as a starting point for any security readiness analysis. For example, in the

Signatures widget, you can click the number of times a specific signature has been hit. Security Manager then

takes you to the Event Viewer, where events corresponding to that signature can be analyzed. Similarly, you can

click an IP address in 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. These dashboards can be
personalized to suit each administrator’s needs.
