Cisco Secure Network Analytics

Cisco Secure Network Analytics is used as part of the security stack we have in our organization. With this tool we are able to analyze traffic patterns, identify potential issues, and address threats before they become more than just a warning sign. Through this product we were able to see some rogue actors on the network and get them shut down before they became more of a problem.

• Once tuned and baselines established, it is far easier to identify issues on a network
• Management is able to look at the dashboard and fairly quickly get an update on the status of how the network is performing and what threats may be out there
• Reports can be scheduled to send on a regular basis to all involved with management of the infrastructure and the security team

We use it for some security alerts for different bad traffic, malware, and traffic-type things. We also use it to look for what we call deprecated protocols, things that aren't supposed to be on the network. We use secure network analytics to identify traffic that's not supposed to be in use by our users and applications.
