Cisco's Cloud-Native Platform, SecureX, Simplifies Cloud Security

On Monday, Cisco launched its cloud-native security platform, Cisco SecureX. The announcement was made at RSA Conference 2020.

SecureX unifies unknown threat detection and policy violations via security analytics in a single cloud-native platform. The platform further automates threat investigation and remediation with efficient security workflows that include security across network, endpoint, cloud, and applications.

Executive Opinion

SVP and GM of Cisco's Security Business Group, Gee Rittenhouse, said, "The industry has been flooded with thousands of point products that were meant to help customers but instead created unmanageable environments with products that don't work together. This has created gaps in businesses' security posture. In addition to bad actors, complexity has become another risk that security teams have to overcome. Cisco SecureX is a fundamental shift in the customers security experience by removing the complexity and providing one unified view on the state of customers' security services and alerts. In doing so, security teams can become more efficient with resources and be a business enabler that propels the digital transformation forward."
