Integration of Cisco with ManageEngine Log360

Integration type: Log management, SOAR

The technical alliance between ManageEngine Log360 and Cisco's network devices ensures security for your network. Log360 collects, analyzes, and correlates the logs from various Cisco devices to provide better security, enhanced threat detection, and remediation for customer environments.

This technical alliance provides you with several benefits.

Comprehensive security visibility: Centralizing security data points from Cisco devices and the rest of the network enhances visibility and improves your security posture.

Real-time threat detection: Correlating critical information from Cisco's devices with the rest of the network events helps detect advanced persistent threats.

Automated alerts: Generating system real-time alerts for suspicious activities by analyzing logs from Cisco devices enables prompt responses.

SOAR: Automating incident responses via workflows is accomplished using Log360's dashboard for Cisco devices.

How the integration works

Log360 collects and analyzes logs from Cisco firewalls, switches, and firepower devices. These devices monitor network traffic, enforce security policies, and detect potential threats. Log360 consolidates these logs, providing a unified platform for comprehensive visibility and in-depth analysis of security events with alerting and incident response features.

Top benefits of this integration

• Centralized log management: Log360 helps aggregate the switches, routers, and firewalls logs for Cisco devices from a central location. This unified SIEM solution consolidates search efforts, and meets compliance regulation while ensuring effective forensic analysis and user activity auditing.
• Meeting regulatory compliance: Most compliance mandates require you to analyze routers, switches, and firewall configuration changes, user audit trails, and monitor their activities. Log360 helps you achieve this through its effective Cisco devices monitoring capability.
• Proactive threat management: Log360's powerful correlation engine enables you to correlate network activity with user activity for proactive and early threat detection.
• Quick incident response: You can identify and respond to threats effectively with the built-in SOAR capabilities of Log360. Some of the predefined workflows available for Cisco devices include the Cisco ASA deny inbound rule and the Cisco ASA deny inbound rule.
