Overview of Security Cloud Control Firewall Management
Security Cloud Control Firewall Management (formerly Cisco Defense Orchestrator or CDO) is a cloud-based security policy manager that helps simplify and unify security policies across your Cisco firewalls and other devices such as Cisco IOS and SSH. The firewalls and devices can be managed from Firewall, which is listed under Products in the Security Cloud Control dashboard.
Security Cloud Control Firewall Management helps you optimize your security policies by identifying inconsistencies within them and by providing with the tools to fix them. It provides you with ways to share objects and policies, as well as create configuration templates, to promote policy consistency across devices.
Because Security Cloud Control Firewall Management coexists with Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM), it keeps track of configuration changes made by ASDM and reconciles the differences.
You can manage a wide range of devices in one place. Advanced users will also find their traditional CLI interface with some new enhancements to make management even more efficient for them.
Security Cloud Control Firewall Management also provides a guided "Day 0" experience, helping you to quickly onboard Threat Defense devices to your on-premises or Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center. It also presents you with other key features that you may benefit from and helps you enable and configure them.
Onboard Devices
Before you onboard a device, make sure that you have successfully completed the installation wizard and licensed the device. Then use Security Cloud Control Firewall Management's onboarding wizard to onboard your device. Security Cloud Control can easily manage large deployments.
See Onboard Devices and Services.
Note | Once you have onboarded devices to a Security Cloud Control Firewall Management tenant, you cannot migrate the devices from one Security Cloud Control Firewall Management tenant to another. If you want to move your devices to a new tenant, you need to re-onboard the devices to the new tenant. |
