Real-world segmentation with Cisco ISE and firewalls

Challenges Securing Connected Devices

• Maintaining accurate device visibility
• Understanding unique device characteristics and vulnerabilities
• Identifying potential threats and active attacks
• Creating segmentation and Zero Trust policies to improve security

ORDR and Cisco Benefits

• Passively discover and classify all devices – ORDR analyzes network traffic to discover and classify every connected device and maintain an accurate, up-to-date catalog without the need for agents, scanning, or impact to mission critical devices.
• Gain granular device visibility – ORDR uses deep packet inspection, API integrations, and application decoding techniques to identify, classify, and provide granular context for all connected devices.
• Identify vulnerabilities and risks – ORDR integrates with vulnerability databases and threat intelligence feeds to identify devices with CVEs/vulnerabilities and risks. An integrated intrusion detection engine inspects East-West traffic for exploits and active threats. Risk scores are generated for every device and flow.
• Map and baseline device behavior – ORDR analyzes device communications to create a baseline of normal device behavior and to identify devices behaving anomalously.
• Accelerate segmentation projects – ORDR provides essential insights including device context and behavior to automate segmentation policies, accelerate Zero Trust projects, and improve security for connected devices.
