Spring Forward with Cisco Networking & Security

The Cisco Rapid Incident Response Workshop focuses on simplifying security operations and enhancing the capabilities of Security Operations Centers (SOC) through the utilization of Cisco's Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solution.

This interactive, hands-on session will demonstrate a comprehensive exhibition of the XDR platform, focusing on the integration of telemetry from both native and third-party control points, streamlining investigations, and reducing the time from incident detection to response. Cisco XDR is designed to deliver greater efficacy and return on investment by connecting a broad range of security tools, including network, cloud, endpoint, email, and identity sources. Additionally, participants will see how XDR leverages threat intelligence from Talos to enrich incidents with context and insights, enabling the detection and response to sophisticated threats.

Participants will learn how Cisco XDR enables:

• the automation of tasks

• proactive threat hunting

• AI-driven guidance to enhance analyst efficiency and speed.

Additionally, the workshop provides insights into the integration capabilities of Cisco XDR with other security solutions, including third-party offerings, and the use of customizable playbooks for automating repetitive tasks. The goal is to empower analysts with the necessary tools and information to take decisive action, ultimately simplifying security operations and fortifying defenses against advanced threats.

As a bonus, we are going to close the session with a short, guided demo of Secure Access (Security Services Edge / Modern Zero Trust) focusing on basic deployment concepts and available functionality outcomes.

Cisco Secure Access is an enterprise-grade, cloud-delivered security solution, grounded in zero trust, that enforces modern cybersecurity, while radically reducing risk and pleasing both end-users and IT staff. By providing seamless and secure access from anything to anywhere, it enables a frictionless end-user experience, lowers risk with tighter security and granular controls, and simplifies IT operations.

We will have time for some Q&A as well.
