Solution Overview

Applying consistent security enforcement for users, devices, and workloads across the enterprise is top-of-mind for any CISO. Whether the security enforcement is within the campus, branch, cloud, or data centers; consistent context-aware security policies are needed to implement and achieve a true zero-trust framework for an enterprise.

Use cases for context-aware security enforcement can revolve around employees, guests, or IoT networks behind a Catalyst SD-WAN branch that need to securely access internet/SaaS applications, with Cisco Secure Access providing cloud-based security enforcement.

With this integration, Cisco Secure Access administrators can use the rich enterprise context shared from Catalyst SD-WAN to configure simpler but granular policy control towards internet/SaaS for branch users.
