Description
Cisco Defense Orchestrator - Base License - 3 Gbps
Discover how Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO) can transform the way you run security across your Cisco ecosystem. The Base License - 3 Gbps delivers centralized, policy-driven management for multiple security devices, enabling you to deploy, monitor, and enforce consistent security posture with less effort. By unifying policy creation, deployment, and compliance checks under one pane of glass, this license helps mid-sized to enterprise networks achieve faster time-to-value, reduced configuration drift, and stronger risk mitigation. Whether your environment spans on-premise, cloud, or mixed deployments, CDO simplifies complex security operations, empowering security teams to focus on strategic tasks rather than repetitive administration.
- Centralized security policy management – Create, push, and enforce consistent policies across Cisco firewalls, next‑gen devices, and security appliances from a single dashboard, minimizing manual configuration errors and speeding incident response.
- Base license with 3 Gbps throughput – The 3 Gbps capacity provides scalable policy enforcement coverage for mid‑sized networks, ensuring predictable performance while maintaining robust control over security posture and compliance requirements.
- Template-driven policy consistency – Build reusable policy templates and guardrails that promote uniform security across branches and data centers, reducing policy fragmentation and facilitating rapid rollouts.
- Streamlined onboarding and discovery – Auto-discover compatible Cisco devices, validate existing configurations, and apply baseline settings quickly to accelerate deployment timelines and minimize downtime.
- Comprehensive visibility and reporting – Real‑time dashboards, anomaly detection, and audit-ready reports help you measure policy effectiveness, demonstrate compliance, and simplify security risk management.

how to install Cisco Defense Orchestrator - Base License - 3 Gbps
- Purchase and activate the Cisco Defense Orchestrator Base License - 3 Gbps through your Cisco account, ensuring you have the required entitlement to manage up to 3 Gbps of enforced traffic.
- Register your CDO instance and connect your Cisco security devices (firewalls, IIS/NGFW appliances, and other supported platforms) to the management platform using secure, certificate-based enrollment.
- Import existing security policies and baseline configurations, then map devices to logical groups or templates to start centralized policy management.
- Define policy templates for common security workflows (e.g., allow/deny rules, threat prevention settings, VPN configurations) and apply them to multiple devices to maintain consistency.
- Monitor policy deployment, verify compliance, and use automated reporting to track changes, detect drift, and optimize security posture over time.
