Cisco Secure Network Analytics is a network security solution focused on end-to-end detection and response. It monitors activity across your network to help identify suspicious behavior, potential threats, and policy violations, then supports your team in investigating and responding to those events.

In a typical security stack, Secure Network Analytics sits in the network detection and response (NDR) layer. It complements tools like firewalls, endpoint protection, and SIEM by giving you deeper visibility into what is actually happening on the network, across users, devices, and applications.

The demo video walks through how Secure Network Analytics delivers end-to-end detection and response using its dashboard and workflows. In practice, this means:

• Detection: The platform continuously analyzes network traffic to surface anomalies and potential threats.
• Investigation: The dashboard lets analysts drill into alerts, see related hosts and flows, and understand the context behind suspicious activity.
• Response: From the same interface, analysts can move from insight to action, using built-in response options and integrations.

The dashboard is designed to help teams rethink how they manage network threats by bringing visibility, investigation, and response together in one place, rather than forcing analysts to jump between multiple tools.

The product demonstration emphasizes two key areas of new capability:

• Automated response: Secure Network Analytics can trigger certain response actions automatically when defined conditions are met. This helps security teams reduce manual effort and respond faster to known or repeatable threat patterns.
• Integration with SecureX: The solution integrates with Cisco SecureX, Cisco’s security platform. This integration helps reimagine incident handling by allowing data, alerts, and actions from Secure Network Analytics to be correlated and orchestrated alongside other Cisco security tools within SecureX.

Together, these capabilities are designed to reshape how security teams detect, investigate, and respond to threats across their environment, using a more connected and automated approach.
