Give Your Firewall Admins Superpowers with the Cisco AI Assistant for Security
The blog features the AI Assistant for Firewall, detailing its security features and showing how it can simplify firewall management for both seasoned admins and novice users by leveraging NLP and ML.
What is the Cisco AI Assistant for Security?
The Cisco AI Assistant for Security is a context-based AI tool designed to assist firewall administrators in managing complex firewall rules. It simplifies tasks such as policy identification, troubleshooting, and policy lifecycle management. By leveraging advanced natural language processing and machine learning, it enables admins to resolve change tickets in minutes rather than hours, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of misconfigurations.
How does the AI Assistant improve firewall management?
The AI Assistant enhances firewall management by providing quick access to existing policies, recommending new rules, and detecting issues proactively. For instance, if a firewall rule engine is malfunctioning, the Assistant can suggest updates to the Vulnerability Database. Additionally, it helps optimize rules by identifying duplicates, which can lead to significant time and cost savings for organizations.
When will the AI Assistant be available?
The Cisco AI Assistant for Security is set to be generally available for firewall customers in the Spring of 2024. It will be offered at no additional cost through the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center, with plans to expand its capabilities to other management tools in the future.
