An Introduction to Security Cloud Control Firewall Management

Security Cloud Control Firewall Management (formerly Cisco Defense Orchestrator) simplifies the management of security policies in distributed environments, ensuring consistent policies across all managed firewalls.

It optimizes security policies by identifying inconsistencies and providing resolution tools. The platform enables object and policy sharing, as well as the creation of configuration templates, ensuring policy uniformity across devices.

Coexisting with local device managers like the Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM), Firewall Manager tracks configuration changes made by both itself and other managers, reconciling any discrepancies.

Featuring an intuitive user interface, Firewall Manager allows management of various devices from a single platform. Advanced users can also utilize an enhanced CLI interface for more efficient management.

The platform offers a guided "Day 0" experience, facilitating the quick onboarding of threat defense devices to your on-premises or Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center. It highlights key features for potential benefits and assists in their activation and configuration.

Onboard Devices

Before you onboard a device, make sure that you have successfully completed the installation wizard and licensed the device. Then use Firewall Manager's onboarding wizard to onboard your device. Firewall Manager can easily manage large deployments.

See Onboard Devices and Services.

Once you have onboarded devices to a Firewall Manager tenant, you cannot migrate the devices from one Firewall Manager tenant to another. If you want to move your devices to a new tenant, you need to re-onboard the devices to the new tenant.
