Integrating Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN with Microsoft Sentinel
Again in 2021, Cisco was an early integrator of SD-WAN with Microsoft Azure Digital WAN, creating hybrid WAN structure that delivers a contemporary transit structure to assist Azure connectivity. This integration allows customers to seamlessly lengthen their SD-WAN overlay into Azure to enhance cloud connectivity from distant places of work. Primarily, Cisco made it simple to attach SD-WAN to Azure.
Now, with the combination of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN and Microsoft Sentinel, we’re enhancing the safety of our clients’ networks by leveraging the safety stack operating on SD-WAN cloth to enhance visibility and threat-hunting capabilities supplied by Sentinel.
Microsoft Sentinel is a scalable, cloud-native resolution that delivers clever safety analytics and menace intelligence throughout the enterprise to offer:
- Safety data and occasion administration (SIEM)
- Safety orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR)
With Microsoft Sentinel, customers have a single console that helps assault detection, menace visibility, proactive looking, and menace response.
However for Microsoft Sentinel to extra utterly ship on its promise of seeing and stopping threats, it should entry community and safety information touring over the WAN. That is the place Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN is available in.
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN affords a extremely safe, cloud-scale structure that’s open, programmable, and scalable. By way of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Supervisor—previously generally known as vManage—console, customers can rapidly set up an SD-WAN overlay cloth and use it to attach information facilities, branches, campuses, and colocation amenities. As well as, they’ll leverage the identical console to use granular superior safety inspection profiles that enhance community pace, safety, visibility, and effectivity.
Integrating Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN with Microsoft Sentinel offers enterprises a complete safety resolution. Together with MITRE ATT&CK protection, organizations profit from clever safety analytics, menace intelligence integration, safety orchestration and automation, automated response playbooks, enhanced visibility into consumer habits, and seamless integration with the broader safety ecosystem. These capabilities strengthen organizations’ safety posture, permitting them to successfully detect, reply to, and mitigate a variety of safety threats.
By way of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN and Microsoft Sentinel integration, your safety operations middle (SOC) staff can achieve visibility into what’s occurring in your community, providing complete safety analytics and incident response capabilities, in addition to equipping enterprises to successfully fight the subtle incursion methods described within the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
The combination begins by showcasing very important community data, akin to vital intrusion occasions and malicious actions. Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN next-generation firewall (NGFW) intercepts and block these actions. It then forwards logs and safety occasions to Sentinel, supporting end-to-end visibility. Complete incident reviews can then be generated when threats are detected by the embedded Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN safety stack. Your safety staff can then learn these incident reviews and use the data to guard your community.
