Cisco Multicloud Defense vs. Tenable Cloud Security

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.

In its current version, it is basic. There are nice new features that should provide a good overall picture of the configuration and security of the account.

• 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

• Difficult to attribute the vulnerabilities to the correct instance - cloud is too dynamic. Is supposed to be fixed in new version - we will see.

If it maintains its current direction it will be very disruptive in the cloud security space

It is a straightforward platform to use - no overcomplication or hidden menus - everything is cleanly presented

As of yet I havent logged a TAC case - It will be interesting to see how it is supported as a new product in the medium term

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.

We looked at this over a year ago, the space was still young. Censys provided what we originally needed, but was soon outdone by Tenable with their initial release. I am sure that Censys improved as well, but it was easier to expand on our current Tenable license.
