Secure Access Overview

The Cisco Secure Access Overview dashboard lists the latest information about your organization. The Overview dashboard displays information about your organization's traffic and the amount of data transferred over your connections and correlates this with security events.

From the Overview dashboard, you can set up Secure Access through the Get Started with Secure Access workflow. If you have established network connectivity, the first workflow is completed and lists your network connections. For more information about Secure Access workflows and how to start, see Begin Secure Access Onboarding Workflow.

Once you configure your organization's network connectivity, confirm that traffic from user devices can reach Secure Access. For information about the Secure Access reports, see Get Started with Reports.

  • A certificate has expired
  • A certificate will expire within 90 days

Users and Groups certificate expiry banners apply to three certificate types:

Users with the Full Admin or Security Administrator role can follow the Certificates link to update the certificate, or close the banner. If the certificate is not updated, a closed banner will reappear the next time the user opens the Overview page.
