Implementing Secure Logging Analytics (SaaS) for Secure Firewall Cloud Native

Before you Begin

• Review Secure Analytics and Logging (SaaS) for Secure Firewall Cloud Nativeto learn about:

  • How events are sent to the Cisco cloud

  • Applications in the solution

  • Licenses you need

  • Data plan you need

• You have contacted your managed service provider or CDO Sales representative to create a CDO tenant.

• Review . Connecting CDO to your Secure Firewall Cloud Native using an SDC is considered a "best practice" but it is not required.

  Review Secure Device Connector (SDC). Connecting CDO to your Secure Firewall Cloud Native using an SDC is considered a "best practice" but it is not required.

• If you choose to deploy an SDC in your network, you can use one of these methods to install it:

  • Use Deploy a Secure Device Connector Using CDO's VM Image to install an SDC using CDO's prepared VM image. This is the preferred and easiest way to deploy an SDC.

  • Use Deploy a Secure Device Connector on your own VM.

• You have installed one or more SECs for your tenant and you can send events from any Secure Firewall Cloud Native to any SEC onboarded to your tenant.

• You have established two-factor authentication for users of your account.

Workflow to Implement Cisco Security Analytics and Logging (SaaS) and Send Events through the Secure Event Connector to the Cisco Cloud

1. Be sure to review "Before you Begin" above to make sure your environment is properly configured.

2. Onbard a Secure Firewall Cloud Native Device using cluster endpoint, namespace, and token.

3. Send Secure Firewall Cloud Native Syslog Events to the Cisco Cloud.

4. Configure NSEL for Secure Firewall Cloud Native Devices.

5. Confirm events are visible in CDO. From the navigation bar, select Monitoring > Event Logging. Click the Live tab to view live events.

6. If you have a Firewall Analytics and Monitoring or Total Network Analytics and Monitoring license, continue with the next section, Analyzing Events with Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics.

Analyzing Events with Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics

If you have a Firewall Analytics and Monitoring or Total Network Analytics and Monitoring license, perform the following in addition to the previous steps:

1. Provision a Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics Portal.

2. Deploy one or more Secure Cloud Analytics sensors to your internal network if you purchased a Total Network Analytics and Monitoring license. See Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics Sensor Deployment for Total Network Analytics and Reporting.

3. Invite users to create Secure Cloud Analytics user accounts, tied to their Cisco Single Sign-On credentials. See Viewing Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics Alerts from CDO.

4. Cross-launch from CDO to Secure Cloud Analytics to monitor the Secure Cloud Analytics alerts generated from device events. See Viewing Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics Alerts from CDO.

Reviewing Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics Alerts by Cross-launching from CDO

With a Firewall Analytics and Monitoring or Total Network Analytics and Monitoring license, you can cross-launch from CDO to Secure Cloud Analytics to review the alerts generated by device events.
