Cisco SecureX Goes Live—Your Security Office Just Got a Power Surge
Today Cisco announced that SecureX is now globally available as its newest, cloud‑native security platform. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of cybersecurity—everything a business needs, all in one sleek package.
Why Does This Matter?
- Digital Transformation Speed has exploded—remote workers, mobile devices, zero‑trust networks.
- Managing security feels like juggling flaming swords while sprinting on a treadmill.
- According to Cisco’s 2020 CIO Perspectives survey, security is #1 and complexity is #2 for CIOs.
- More than two‑thirds of CIOs admit they’re stretched too thin.
If you’ve ever wondered why an enterprise with more vendors has longer downtime and higher attack costs, Cisco’s 2020 CISO Benchmark Report says it’s simply because each vendor adds another layer of “suck‑it‑out‑the‑time” bureaucracy.
The Big Fix: SecureX
SecureX stitches together Cisco’s entire security portfolio and the rest of your “security bouquet.” It delivers a consistent, simplified experience and no extra cost to customers. The platform focuses on three core features:
1⃣ Unified Visibility
Through the SecureX ribbon feature, you get real‑time threat metrics from network, endpoint, cloud, and apps—all in one fluid list. It’s like having a dashboard that reads your security health bar.
2⃣ Automation for Efficiency
You can wire automated workflows across Cisco’s tools and even third‑party products. Think of it as a robotic butler that hunts threats, responds, and reports while you focus on the big picture.
3⃣ Strengthened Security
The SecureX threat response engine helps experts identify impacted targets within minutes, pulling in intelligence from multiple sources and telemetry from every corner of the enterprise.
Voices from the Frontlines
- Michael Degroote – Mohawk Industries: “SecureX is the future of security at Mohawk. It will make things easier, faster, and we’ll see way more going on in our environment than ever before. Automation and custom playbooks in SecureX will make a difference in a zero‑trust environment and improve security for our company even further.”
- Mick Jenkins – Brunel University: “As a CISO, feeding intelligence into other agencies is mission critical. The platform approach stitches forensic investigations together like a well‑stitched quilt.”
