Cisco Multicloud Defense

Cisco Multicloud Defense protects all of your cloud environments using a single software-as-a-service (SaaS) control plane, eliminating inefficient, complex, and costly point solutions.

Panoptica's integration with Cisco Multicloud Defense enables you to gain visibility into your virtual gateways in Panoptica’s inventory. Displaying this information in Panoptica provides a better understand of where your resources are deployed, and which workloads are being protected.
