About Security Cloud Control
Security Cloud Control (formerly Cisco Defense Orchestrator) is a cloud-based multi-device manager that facilitates management of security policies in highly distributed environments to achieve consistent policy implementation.
Security Cloud Control helps you optimize your security policies by identifying inconsistencies with them and by giving you tools to fix them. Security Cloud Control gives you ways to share objects and policies, as well as make configuration templates, to promote policy consistency across devices.
Because Security Cloud Control coexists with local device managers such as the Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM), it keeps track of configuration changes made by Security Cloud Control and by other managers, and then reconcile the differences between managers.
Security Cloud Control has an intuitive user interface that allows you to manage a wide range of devices in one place. Advanced users will also find their traditional CLI interface with some new enhancements to make management even more efficient for them.
Security Cloud Control also provides a guided "Day 0" experience helping you quickly onboard threat defense devices to your on-premises or cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center. It also presents you with other key features you may benefit from and helps you enable and configure them.
Request a Security Cloud Control Tenant
You can request for a 30-day free trial of a Security Cloud Control tenant to onboard, and manage your devices. You can then contact Cisco to upgrade your tenant to a licensed one.
See Create a Security Cloud Control Tenant for more information.
Onboard Devices
Before you onboard a device, make sure that you have successfully completed the installation wizard and licensed the device. Then use Security Cloud Control's onboarding wizard to onboard your device. Security Cloud Control can easily manage large deployments. See Onboard Devices and Services.
Note | Once you have onboarded devices to a Security Cloud Control tenant, you cannot migrate the devices from one Security Cloud Control tenant to another. If you want to move your devices to a new tenant, you need to re-onboard the devices to the new tenant. |
