The first phase of the Cisco Self-Defending Network strategy involves integrating security capabilities directly into network elements including routers, switches, wireless access points, and standalone network appliances. The second phase, which includes the industry-wide Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) effort, enables security-enabled network elements to communicate with one another in a collaborative manner, while extending security capabilities to individual user devices that connect to other networks and might infect a corporate network.
Adaptive Threat Defense is the next phase and helps to further minimize network security risks by dynamically addressing threats at multiple layers, enabling tighter control of network traffic, endpoints, users, and applications. It aims to protect every packet and every packet flow on a network.
To accomplish a defense-in-depth solution strategy, Cisco has a comprehensive suite of products including Cisco Security Agent (CSA), Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA), NAC Appliance, CS-MARS, and Cisco Security Manager (CSM).
Cisco also addresses security with solutions for physical, application, identity, and authentication. Please click here to see the full complement of Cisco Security solutions that make up the Self-Defending Network.
