Cisco Defense Orchestrator

Cisco Defense Orchestrator is a cloud-based management solution that allows you to manage security policies and device configurations with ease across multiple Cisco and cloud-native security platforms.

Setup is easy, fast, and frictionless, allowing customers to onboard and start managing hundreds of devices within hours. The intuitive user interface and focus on simplicity means that training requirements are minimal, with a learning curve measured in hours rather than days.

Flexibility and scale are attributes of our open API as well as being a cloud technology. Because it’s a cloud-based solution, Cisco Defense Orchestrator does not require capital expenditures, rack space, or manual patching and upgrading, dramatically reducing your operational costs.

It doesn’t matter whether your organization has 5 or 5000 devices. Cisco Defense Orchestrator provides network operations teams with the ability to reduce time spent managing and maintaining security devices, enabling them to focus on what is most important to your core mission.
