Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Multicloud Defense

My company uses this as a gateway to the cloud environment. The key for us is a single panel which shows how the full environment (all clouds environments) is behaving - all the details related to health status and data transfer. The key was the data transfer in the cloud as we can see exactly what is leaving our company and if we want it to leave or should it be blocked. Visualisation of all environments in the cloud and how data flows also help to identify each hop of data flow.

Pros

  • DLP monitoring - key item for us which helps to view if anything which should leave our environment our or even between each part of network between/inside specific clouds
  • Segmentation of subnet, basic but helpful to isolate each host into their own part of single subnet and connect them, including all visibility features which are offered by Cisco defense systems
  • Allow/deny rules helps us to block, monitor and logs traffic passing in each direction of our environment

Cons

  • 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
  • It requires good knowledge of the product at the start, so it can take time and Cisco resources for help with setting it up.
  • Analise data going to websites/web servers which can help to block some unwanted traffic.
  • Easy to monitor what is happening after implementation due to nice dashboards which are fully customisable.

Would you buy Cisco Multicloud Defense again?

Yes

The sell key was for my company the monitoring all outgoing data and between each cloud provider which we use from all departments which keeps their data in a cloud environment. We could apply specific rules for monitoring and DPL on all traffic, which was the key feature that we were missing in the cloud solution. Also, they provide security features like intrusion prevention, antimalware, and full-path URL filtering, which are nice to have. Applying all at the start can be really time consuming but for the time we spent and how the solution help us to prevent data leave our company it was for sure worth it.
