Multicloud Defense in Cisco Security Cloud Control

Multicloud Defense is now hosted in Cisco Security Cloud Control. See Welcome to Security Cloud Control for more information about what capabilities it offers you.

When you enroll in a Multicloud Defense, Security Cloud Control creates an account for your tenancy by default to better manage your enterprises across the board. The Security Cloud enterprise supports the following cases: if you have purchased a license and already have a Multicloud Defense account, and if you have purchased a license but currently do not have a Multicloud Defense account.

Note that

You must complete the following steps in the Security Cloud Control dashboard; feel free to refer to the Security Cloud Control User Guide for more information for any of these steps:

1. Buy a subscription license. Once this is purchased, you or the designated system administrator receives an email with a subscription claim code. Do not lose this email.

2. Claim the subscription. You need the claim code from the email mentioned above. See the "Managing products and subscriptions" for more information.

3. Activate the instance. This "instance" refers to a Multicloud Defense account that is attached to a tenant in Security Cloud Control (formerly known as Cisco Defense Orchestrator). See "Activating a product instance" for more information.

   Warning

   You will be prompted to activate a new or existing instance; to apply the license to a Multicloud Defense account that is not already in the enterprise, select Activate a new instance. The Apply license to an existing instance option applies the license to a Multicloud Defense instance that is already enrolled in the Security Cloud enterprise

   Note

   If you do not already have a Multicloud Defense account associated with your Security Cloud Control tenant, select No when asked "Do you have an existing Security Cloud Control Account to associate with your Multicloud Defense License?". This generates a request for a Security Cloud Control tenant; you can then request and enable a Multicloud Defense. If you select No, disregard step 4.

4. Confirm the activation. This step is done in Security Cloud Control; you must confirm the activation by clicking the activation button. This button appears as a new banner located near the top of the dashboard window as depicted below:

   Note	Once you confirm the activation, you must select the performance tier of the Multicloud Defense account. Depending on whether you have a trial or a full license for the product, the options you see may differ from this screenshot:
