How the CISCO AnyConnect Module Benefits You
The Cisco AnyConnect® Network Visibility Module allows you to view user and endpoint activities both on and off site. It gathers standard data flows from endpoints (laptops, for example) as well as data like user, application, device, location, and destination data. IT Admins can then accumulate and examine this rich aggregated statistic. They can then better protect the company from possible security issues along with assist them in addressing a variety of network operational challenges.
The Network Visibility Module employs standards-based flow expertise. IT Security staff can use their current collector platform to screen and examine performance. For example, an IT security team could view an off-site user transmitting abnormal amounts of data to an external storage medium, indicative of possible data exfiltration. Or they can get insight into shadow IT activities when users try to gain access to unsanctioned solicitations.
Networking and application staff can use the material to enhance global network processes, sustain application capacity design, and troubleshoot problems. The network operations staff can set up VPN split tunneling to preserve Internet bandwidth costs. This will help them find out which traffic has to be sent to the enterprise and which can go directly to the Internet.
With the release of version 4.3 for AnyConnect, the Network Visibility Module comes bundled with improved functionality, which gives you additional features like cached data throttling, broadcast and multicast suppression, and a more elastic collection strategy with innovative property fields. The Network Visibility Module is also being released for 3rd-party development via APIs offered by Cisco DevNet.
