When encrypted traffic is the default, applications are distributed across hybrid environments, and AI-powered workloads are multiplying, keeping your organization safe and agile demands a modern approach to segmentation and threat defense. Join this session to discover how the latest innovations in Cisco Secure Firewall, a key enforcement point of Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall, can help you:

• Stop advanced threats fast: Instantly detect and block zero-day attacks with SnortML machine learning backed by Talos threat intelligence. Achieve deep visibility and control over encrypted traffic, including protocols like QUIC and hidden channels like private VPNs.
• Streamline security operations: Upgrade firewall software up to 3x faster, manage policies centrally, and deploy instantly across multi-vendor firewalls. Seamlessly integrate with Cisco Security Cloud and Splunk for rapid threat and compliance insights.
• Boost network resilience: Encrypt user group tags over VPN, efficiently balance traffic across multiple network paths, and quickly respond to failures for uninterrupted business continuity.
• Stop lateral movement of threats: Strengthen segmentation at every layer, enforcing robust zonal segmentation with Secure Firewall and achieving granular microsegmentation with the integrated hybrid mesh firewall, securing both traditional workloads and modern applications.

Backed by proven performance: Cisco Secure Firewall is the first to earn a AAA rating in SE Labs’ advanced performance test and delivers 2.4x better throughput per dollar than the leading competitor.
