Cisco Innovations in Network Security Policy

This session covers new innovations from Cisco in order to enable enterprise network security policy. Cisco focuses on recently shipped or soon to be shipping products focused on enabling better scale, device classification, and analysis. The scale of network security policy has been dramatically increased by the integration of SDA/SDWA. The innovation of device classification is needed so that a network administrator can build policy groups more easily and more accurately. In addition, they discuss Policy Analytics which will enable the network administrator to more easily visualize policy groups and the relationships between the groups. This relationship encompasses network traffic which can be analyzed to determine if it’s legitimate traffic and hence be used to create security policy.
