Cisco Multicloud Defense vs. Cloudlytics

Any connection to a cloud platform would benefit from Cisco Multicloud Defense. The dynamic security policies that you can create based on where the connections are coming from and not something that can be changed, for example, an IP address, makes the solution very adaptable. Classification of risky traffic and the destination of the flow is very intriguing. Even just knowing the flow of traffic that is deemed benign would provide useful insight to businesses to determine where their platforms and applications are being used.
