Cisco Secure Workload software is licensed based on the number of workload equivalents or devices (endpoints) depending on the agent or sensor type being used. Telemetry data can be collected using agents, supported by other supported sensors or collectors, in any combination. Policy enforcement is enabled through agents with enforcement capability with infrastructure enforcement delivered through Cisco Secure Firewall Integration, Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs), and Security Groups in public cloud infrastructure or orchestrated via streamed Kafka policy.

User Testimonials
	Cisco Secure Workload	Salt Security API Protection Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco The biggest challenge with this product is it crosses lines. You need somebody who can support servers as well as somebody who supports the infrastructure. And that's usually two different jobs, two different job titles, two different departments. So if you have a lot of silos within your organization and you have groups that don't work particularly well together between the server team and the network team, you will have problems developing and working on this product. If your server team and your network team work well together, then you'll have a lot fewer problems, it'll work pretty well. But if your server team and your network team are like oil and water don't bother. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Salt Security Salt is highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover, monitor and protect their APIs against various types of attacks. Salt should not be used as a SIEM. Jose Michael Henrique Security Specialist Read full review
Pros	Cisco No answers on this topic	Salt Security PII identification in API traffic. Divergence between API traffic and documentation (swagger files). Potential attacks with information to take counter measures. Verified User Read full review
Cons	Cisco No answers on this topic	Salt Security The platform could have more options for exporting detailed data from attackers' dashboards. The Attackers dashboard could also have more options of filters in order to support the investigations of the attack. The OAS analysis could present a more detailed view of the found issues. Marcel Amorim Senior Security Analyst Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cisco No answers on this topic	Salt Security We tried controls offered by the IaaS providers but these were hard to manage and did not provide the visibility we wanted. We also protected APIs with a normal WAF but this was only helpful for assets we knew about and API attacks were not caught by the WAF. Tyler Warren Director, IT Security Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco No answers on this topic	Salt Security Salt Security API Protection Platform has provided detailed information that is helping us to identify and investigate attacks in our environment Marcel Amorim Senior Security Analyst Read full review
