Description

The Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC) functions as a Virtual Network Functions Manager (VNFM), managing the entire lifecycle of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) from the initial onboarding and deployment phases to ongoing monitoring, scaling, healing, and eventual decommissioning. With its flexible and modular design, ESC accommodates both Cisco's VNFs and those from third-party providers, making it suitable for a variety of network settings. It integrates effortlessly into any ETSI-compliant Management and Orchestration (MANO) framework, ensuring that architectural integrity and compliance are upheld. The platform delivers in-depth visibility into service creation, allowing for effective management from the instantiation stage through critical maintenance activities like auto-scaling and healing, all the way to the final teardown of both simple and intricate multi-VNF services. By adeptly managing multi-VNF services, it offers essential tools for creating service definitions, enforcing policies, and controlling VNF placements, thus enhancing operational efficiency. Furthermore, ESC is equipped with advanced analytics capabilities and service health monitoring, which are supported by its integrated instrumentation, ensuring that network performance is continuously optimized. This comprehensive approach not only simplifies network management but also enhances the overall reliability of services deployed across diverse environments.

Description

Effortless governance of service accounts spans from their discovery and provisioning to eventual decommissioning. These non-human privileged accounts have access to essential services, applications, data, and network resources. Unfortunately, many service accounts often go unnoticed by IT departments, inadvertently broadening your attack surface and increasing vulnerability. By automating service account governance, organizations can grant security teams centralized oversight and enhanced control. This approach fosters greater accountability, consistency, and thorough management of service accounts. Automating and refining the management of service accounts curbs risky sprawl, allowing for a more secure environment. Additionally, obtaining a comprehensive understanding of your privileged attack surface is crucial to effectively mitigate risks linked to service account lifecycle management. The Account Lifecycle Manager tool provides solutions to address service account sprawl, enabling you to efficiently manage and govern service accounts with features like automated provisioning, compliance, and decommissioning workflows. Built on a cloud-native architecture, this solution ensures rapid deployment and adaptable scalability, meeting the demands of modern infrastructures. Ultimately, prioritizing service account governance is key to reinforcing your organization's overall security posture.
