For WAF functionality and delivery of websites, It's very well suited for traditional firewalling, if you're doing that already, it can be quite difficult to rearchitect everything around this product. So an example of that would be if, like us, you came from a datacenter style architecture within your cloud environment and you are trying to move to a more cloud-fronted architecture. Probably the best way to put it is that can be quite difficult, but once you've deployed, it gets easier operationally. So to kind of reverse engineer everything and then do everything again can be quite tedious in some ways. But that will be specific to people depending on where they're coming from with it.

I can see using this on prints that are highly confidential. But, for everyday files, it might be overkill

Cons
Cisco
  • Logs which are tricky to apply properly in the cloud, due to limitations of how vendor builds its environment sometimes it was hard to guess what is going on in the cloud as this solution also pulls data from these logs sometimes it can be missing some more detailed information
  • Initial data flow related to specific solutions which company can use can - mean its custom apps which can need lots of learning processes what is valid what not and how to properly allow this can of solution example is DLP

Cisco Multicloud Defense, Crowd Strike Falcon, and Arctic Wolf Cloud Posture Security Management System as a service SAAS platforms are very comparable platforms. Unfortunately for Croud Strike, they had a mishap recently that caused major downtime for many companies worldwide. I do not think that you would have to worry about this happening with Cisco Multicloud Defense.
