Cisco TrustSec vs. RedSeal

• Control access to critical enterprise resources by business role, device type, and location, so policy changes can be made without redesigning the network.
• Easily manage access control and segmentation while maintaining compliance.
• Create and manage policies in an easy-to-use matrix.
• Reduce the need for costly network re-architecture by automating firewall rules and access control list (ACL) administration.

Incentivized

RedSeal is a great tool for audit and compliance. It can do configuration analysis, audit against "golden" configurations, and map a network with little user interaction. RedSeal is not great for an environment where a tool like this must be fully integrated into not only audit and compliance, but also into change management.

Incentivized

• Reduce operational expenses by simplifying network segmentation and defining security groups based on business roles, not IP addresses.
• Limit the impact of a data breach by quickly isolating and containing threats using technology already in your network.

• RedSeal is great for compliance
• RedSeal is a great tool for path investigation and risk analysis
• RedSeal has a great network model/map

Incentivized

• Next-generation firewall support
• Change management process integration

Incentivized

RedSeal outperforms both Skybox and Tufin in the area of audit and compliance and can work with aging firewall technologies (stateful firewalls) and network gear (routers and switches). It is better than Tufin in respect to next-generation firewall assessments but is behind Skybox in this area. RedSeal also lacks change management integration which both Skybox and Tufin have.

• RedSeal will provide positive ROI for its ease of compliance and audit reviews
• RedSeal will provide positive ROI for network documentation and path analysis
