Cisco Security Offerings for Remote Working

Written by Iulia Cozma | 09-Apr-2020 13:20:00

Recently, Cisco Webex expanded its free offerings to allow employees to stay connected to their teams and continue their business operations. Cisco is broadening this offer to include security for remote employees by providing extended free licenses and expanded usage counts at no extra charge for four of the key security technologies that are designed to protect remote workers anywhere, anytime and on any device.

  • Cisco Umbrella protects users from malicious Internet destinations whether they are on or off the network. Because it is delivered from the cloud, Umbrella makes it easy to protect users everywhere in minutes. With this offer, existing customers can exceed their user limit to support an increase in remote workers, and new customers can access a free license. To learn more about this offering, please contact our IA Cisco team. 
  • Duo Security enables organisations to verify users’ identities and establish device trust before granting access to applications. By employing a zero-trust model, it decreases the attack surface and reduces risk. With this offer, existing customers can exceed their user limit to support an increase in remote workers, and new customers can access a free license. To learn more about this offering, please contact our IA Cisco team.
  • Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client empowers employees to work from anywhere on company laptops or personal mobile devices. It also provides the visibility and control security teams need to identify who and which devices are accessing their infrastructure. Existing AnyConnect customers can exceed their user limit to support an increase in remote workers, and new customers can access a free license. To get started, existing and new customers should talk with a Cisco representative or partner to get the requested usage counts. To learn more about this offering, please contact our IA Cisco team.
  • Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints. This technology prevents breaches and blocks malware at the point of entry as well as detects, contains and remediates advanced threats if they evade the frontline of defense.

    With this new addition, existing customers can exceed their device limit by two times to support an increase in remote workers. To take advantage of this offer, they simply install AMP for Endpoints Connectors on extra devices, and no other action is required.

As with our AnyConnect, Umbrella and Duo offers, this will be available until July 1, 2020.
