Cisco Tetration Workload Protection Extended with New Options: SaaS and Virtual Appliance
April 10 2018 - 8:00AM
Cisco today announced two new consumption models for its Cisco®
Tetration solution for the data center and cloud: Tetration SaaS,
the cloud-based solution for cloud-first and cloud-only
organizations, and Tetration-V, a software-only version using a
virtual appliance for smaller deployments. Both models deliver the
same features and functionality as the original on-premises form
factors of Tetration. Tetration automates application dependency
mapping and whitelist policy generation and enforcement, gives
insight into network performance, and offers cloud workload
protection. The Tetration APIs enable IT organizations to
create custom applications with access to Tetration data sources,
allowing the export and enforcement of policies generated by
Tetration across SDN controllers and security devices.
With the new consumption models, organizations can adopt
Tetration technology within hours, with no initial investment and
the flexibility to pay as they grow.
With Tetration SaaS, organizations gain the benefits of a fully
managed model, including:
- Workload protection features without any on-premises hardware
requirements
- Protection for on-premises, public, and private cloud
workloads
- Scalability up to 25,000 workloads
- Data retention for months
- Faster onboarding to realize the benefits of the platform
quickly
- Built-in high availability and disaster recovery
capability
- Service backed by world-class SLAs
- Managed services provided by Cisco channel partners
For organizations that deploy fewer than 1000 workloads and
prefer a software-only approach, Tetration is available on a
virtual appliance. It offers one-click deployment and allows
organizations to use their own server and storage
infrastructure.
Both Tetration models deliver a ready-to-use solution to
identify data center applications, their detailed dependencies, and
the underlying policies between different application tiers.
Operators can implement a zero-trust model using whitelist policy
and segmentation, monitor the behavior of server processes, and
identify software-related vulnerabilities. Tetration is able to
identify high-severity security events such as certain Spectre and
Meltdown exploits using behavior-based anomalies, allowing
proactive quarantining of affected servers. With this approach,
Tetration provides holistic cloud workload protection anywhere. For

Safe.
“Cisco Tetration helps Xentaurs manage successful cloud and data
center deployments for our clients by ensuring every single
connection and flow to an application is visible,” said Anoj Willy,
CEO, Xentaurs. “Without this critical information, app, cloud, and
data center migrations would be impossible to precisely guarantee
nothing is missed and everything is as it is intended. Tetration
goes further in establishing and enforcing a zero-trust environment
that is the foundation for microsegmentation, down to containers
and next-generation services development.”
Cisco's architectural approach to security
Tetration is also a core technology in Cisco’s
data center security and workload protection portfolio.
Tetration works with Cisco ACI and Cisco’s security portfolio,
including Cisco Firepower® Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW),
Next-Generation IPS (NGIPS), Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), and
Stealthwatch® to deliver effective security that follows the
workload everywhere. Now operators can see everything across their
network, reduce the attack surface, and stop data center breaches
from moving laterally across workloads. For more information,

World.
Cisco Services for TetrationIf requested, Cisco
can also provide professional and support services for Tetration
SaaS and Tetration-V, including: support for Tetration onboarding
and use-case support to accelerate Tetration adoption and optimize
policies and security, resulting in a faster time to value with
Tetration.
AvailabilityCisco Tetration SaaS is scheduled
to be available in May 2018. Tetration-V is available
now.
