Cisco Cyber Vision vs. SecureLink Enterprise Access

Where it's well suited? So like I said, so when you don't have any insights inside of your network, inside of your production especially, this is where you can really use this product because it's great because you cannot do some active discovery. You need to do passive discovery, you can deploy it on a Cisco Switches so you don't need some extra devices or do some remote fan to send this traffic to some central controller. You have everything on the edge and I think this is a great benefit of Cisco Cyber Vision.

It does exactly what it needs to. The only times I've had serious issues with rolling out to a vendor is when they have a "contractual agreement" to only use their solution. Almost every vendor that I've worked with and shown this product to has been skeptical for the first 5 minutes and fully converted to liking the ease of use of the product by 10 minutes

• Visibility
• Providing an OT dashboard
• Integrated solution with other Cisco products

• Easy to setup on a client PC or server for access
• Organizes client connections by gatekeeper so it is easy to find what you need
• File transfer option is great for uploading files to client servers

• We use it and this product is made especially for OT environment. So everything you can find inside of a production, PLC, robotics, stuff like this.
• As freshly announced last Friday, it was pain by being forced to use SSD in Catalyst switches, but with the version it's no longer needed. So for here now I'm happy.

• Java based. Always an issue. I know they are working on this and it will be Javaless if we need it. I know that Java can cause issues across the board and I understand the need of it, but it does not make it any better when there are Java issues.
• Stronger integration with the Active Directory. Currently its only read-only, which is good and bad.
• I would love to see an App. I know they are working on this as well.

We are happy using securelink to access our client environments

The employees at Securelink have always been responsive and seem to be invested in the success of my company. They truly understand what their product means to us so if there is a problem, they are always willing to help. In the rare event that something is found on their end, they will be proactive and reach out to someone to help and get something on calendar for a fix

Securelink seems to work better than LogMein for a large enterprise group. Our company has over 10,000 different connections and securelink manages them well.

Because I think you can scale it very good. You can monitor lots of devices, but it has some limitations especially in, that's why I don't give it a 10, especially in the visibility. So when you have a map, you're limited to the amount of connections and devices to display on a map and it would be great to see there more devices inside of the map.

• There was limited insights on our OT environment, so this has increased significantly

• I've found that Securelink allows me to get a vendor access to an application for support purposes much faster than a provisioned VPN account and the red tape around this. I can set up a vendor to access an application suite in a half hour and it will be more secure than regular provisioning.
• The ROI is yet to be seen on this, but it certainly makes Compliance, Internal Audit, and Legal very happy, which helps everybody.
• Internally, there is much more push back and it has been problematic. For a tech, to have to log in to a server and navigate to a system is considered cumbersome, when before all they had to do was open up Putty or RDP to a server to get in. The only way to combat this is to force them to use Securelink by removing rights. Near impossible for the domain admins.
