Managing Email and Web Security with Cisco: Centralized Management

Managing multiple email and web security devices can be challenging. Keeping configurations consistent, tracking threats and generating reports across different devices can be time-consuming for IT admins. However, the Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager offers a solution to streamline these processes. This centralized management system provides a comprehensive view of email and web security for businesses.

A single console for comprehensive control

This efficient tool streamlines the management and reporting of your Cisco email and web security appliances. Rather than adjusting settings on each device individually, you can deploy configurations from a single console to all of them. This not only saves time, but also ensures consistent policy enforcement across your organization. Imagine updating a security rule once and having it instantly applied everywhere – that's the power of centralized management.

The Secure Email and Web Manager is an ideal solution for organizations with high-volume deployments. It offers the flexibility to dedicate specific appliances to individual applications, ensuring optimized performance and efficient resource allocation.

Web Security: From Transactions to Trends

The integrated reporting capabilities provide a clear picture of web traffic across your network, allowing you to examine individual web transactions in depth, including IP addresses, usernames, domains, and timestamps. The Secure Email and Web Manager can also track how employees use Web 2.0 applications such as Facebook or YouTube. All this information is aggregated in real-time and presented in graphical dashboards for easy interpretation. You can quickly identify which websites, URL categories, and applications are being accessed by company devices.

Email Security: A Unified Approach

Email security management is equally streamlined. Just like with web security, you can manage settings and updates centrally. Message tracking aggregates data from all your Cisco email security appliances, giving you insights into senders, recipients, subjects, and more. Scanning results, including spam and virus verdicts, are also readily available. The Secure Email and Web Manager also provides:

• Detailed tracking and reporting on message disposition, URLs, and other email attributes.
• A consolidated quarantine repository for all your email security appliances.
• Centralized management of antispam, antivirus, Outbreak Filters, and policy quarantines.

By centralizing management, you can ensure consistent acceptable use policies are enforced across the entire organization.

Enhanced Threat Protection: The Big Picture

The Secure Email and Web Manager provides a comprehensive view of your security landscape, empowering you with better threat intelligence, defense, and remediation. This includes centralized spam quarantine management, comprehensive threat monitoring across all your email and web security gateways, web reputation scoring, and botnet detection. The reporting capabilities also help you identify and address key activities and trends for data loss prevention (DLP).

Flexible Deployment: On-Premises or Virtual

The Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager offers flexible deployment options. The virtual edition, Secure Email and Web Manager Virtual, allows you to deploy and manage web and email security wherever and whenever you need it. It shares the same look and feel as the Secure Web Appliance Virtual and Secure Email Virtual Gateway, making it easy to integrate into your existing environment.

Try Before You Buy (Virtually!)

If you would like to see the Secure Email and Web Manager in action, you can easily try it out. Simply download the Secure Email and Web Manager Virtual, apply the trial license, and you're ready to go. The virtual edition can manage both hardware and virtual appliances, so you can test it in your own environment without any major commitment. It's an excellent way to experience the benefits of centralized email and web security management firsthand.
