Monitor and Analyze Secure Event Connectors Installing Secure Event Connectors Install an SEC Using Your VM Image

Last updated: Aug 18, 2025

Install an SEC Using Your VM Image

The Secure Event Connector (SEC) forwards events from ASA and FTD to the Cisco cloud so that you can view them in the Event Logging page and investigate them with Secure Cloud Analytics, depending on your licensing.

You can install more than one Secure Event Connector (SEC) on your tenant and direct events from your ASAs and FDM-managed devices to any of the SECs you install. Having multiple SECs allows you to have SECs installed in different regions and distribute the work of sending events to the Cisco cloud.

Installing multiple SECs using your own VM image is a three part process. You must perform each of these steps:

Using a Firewall Manager VM image for the Firewall Manager Connector is the easiest, most accurate, and preferred method of installing a Firewall Manager connector. If you want to use that method, see Installing an SEC Using a Firewall Manager Image.
