Networks today are supposed to be digital-ready, meaning fast and agile to propel business into a world where everything is connected. Getting there has hit some major speedbumps due to highly publicized hacks. And this has started a virtual arms race, where no expense is spared to deploy numerous, disparate security solutions. Yet somehow, the industry average for detecting a breach is currently over 100 days. It seems the marketplace is overlooking a major component of their security posture -the digital network itself.

What if your digital-ready network could not only support capabilities like automation and virtualization, but also effectively detect threats? Yes, the same network you're enabling today could double as a threat sensor. This means built-in network security that reduces the need for numerous, disparate "bolt-on" solutions, which potentially provide redundant layers of security that increase operational cost and reduce network efficiency. Most people don't realize their digital-ready Cisco network can detect threats TODAY.

How? You need visibility!

It's an oft used expression -you can't protect what you can't see. That's why Cisco's Network as a Sensor solution eliminates network blind spots where sophisticated threats can hide. It's enabled by next-generation security products -specifically, Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco Stealthwatch -that use your network and transform it into its own security system.
