How Alliances Strengthen Your Cybersecurity Defenses

When we started the Cisco Security Technology Alliance (CSTA) a few years ago, we didn’t envisage it growing into such a large ecosystem of technology spanning the breadth of our Cisco Security portfolio in such a short span of time. But security is most effective when it works as an integrated system and that has driven our furious integration pace.

Eric Parizo, Senior Enterprise Security Analyst with GlobalData, called it right: “Cisco’s commitment to fostering integration between its own best-of-breed security products and third-party point solutions is almost unparalleled in the enterprise security industry.” As an industry, if we’re going to beat the bad guys, we need to work together and in partnership with security practitioners at every turn.

Today Cisco is proud to announce 57 new technology integrations and 23 net-new vendor partners joining CSTA across all facets of security. It is our largest and broadest CSTA announcement to date. This brings our alliance to over 160 partners representing 280+ product platform integrations.   This is quite a leap from the 22 partners & integrations we had in late 2013 when we founded CSTA.

These integrations span over 15 technology areas from Security Orchestration, Analytics & Reporting (SOAR) systems, to deception technologies to IoT Visibility platforms that together bolster a customer’s cyber defenses.

This is an era of unprecedented change for cybersecurity.  New technologies, new threats, new customer expectations, new regulations…they are all rapidly disrupting existing approaches. Organizations have no choice but to adapt rapidly to protect assets from cyber-crime. As we have seen from starting CSTA, technical integrations between our partners using our open APIs and SDKs help harden the networks of our mutual customers. The result? Integrations that enable granular visibility, higher fidelity analytics, and the ability to automate investigative and mitigation actions on threats across a multi-vendor security deployment. There is strength in numbers…more than 280 in this case.

Here’s a summary of what’s new:

Explosive growth of Cisco pxGrid Partners, pxGrid 2.0 and IoT Security
