Azure Firewall Manager vs. Cisco Security Cloud Control

WAF is great for apps hosted within Azure. It allows for great security as well as funneling traffic out through Azure rather than having to bring it back on-prem to your internal firewall to then go back out. Can really give too much of a reason for a situation where it doesn’t work as it has been used in one particular situation.

Use case would be if you wanted most of the functionality of the FMC on prem but had no datacenter, cloud presence in AWS, or a cloud presence in Azure for an FMCv. You gain an always up FMC to manage the firewalls due to resiliency of the cloud FMC. You get almost all the functionality of an FMC on prem.

• Better templates like pushing config. when a particular firewall checks in with CDO.
• Compliance checking for configurations would be great. For example: make sure http is shut and https is open.

I give this score because I believe that Cisco Defense Orchestrator helps our company to be resilient, this is because this software is also focused on offering security resilience at the enterprise level, that is, through its features such as high visibility, acceleration of threat detection and response, simple management, and end-to-end protection. By having it, it is more feasible to avoid disasters or risks in the devices that are handled daily and of course avoid data loss and, given this, be able to recover quickly if something happens.

I believe that Cisco Defense Orchestrator is available when needed, this solution has allowed the security team to have better productivity thanks to the fact that their workflow is less intense because they can carry out their tasks with the help of this software, in addition to the presence If there is an error, they can be overcome quickly because their support team is efficient.

Cisco Defense Orchestrator is a software that is easy to implement, although knowledge is required for it, but if you do not have it, going to its valuable support team is very helpful. If done knowingly, this process can take less than two hours. Having a simple implementation is a valuable feature because it saves time and expense.

We Selected Azure Firewall Manager because of its reliable service and Security, which they provide across our network architecture.

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is a simple, flexible, and easy-to-implement configuration solution, however, with Cisco Defense Orchestrator there is an implementation in the cloud and the ease of managing all devices from a single console regardless of location, in addition to its analysis of security policies security help us to know if the ones that are being used are fulfilling their function or if changes are required to make infrastructure more secure, that is why we chose this Cisco software.
