Security Devices Overview

The Security Devices page displays all the physical and virtual onboarded devices and the templates created from the onboarded devices. The page classifies devices and templates based on their type and displays them in the corresponding tabs dedicated to each device type.

You can view the following details on the Security Devices page:

  • The Devices tab displays all the live devices that are onboarded to Security Cloud Control.

  • The Templates tab displays all the template devices created from live devices or configuration files imported to Security Cloud Control.

Filters in Security Devices

The Filter panel on the Security Devices page provides multiple options to narrow down results and find devices based on specific attributes, including Devices/Services, Hardware Versions, Device End-of-Life, Software Versions, Snort Version, Configuration Status, Connectivity States, Conflict Detection, Health Status, Secure Device Connectors, and Labels.

The Hardware End-of-Life (EoL) Filter

The Hardware End-of-Life (EoL) filter allows you to identify devices that are nearing or have reached their last day of hardware support. Running unsupported hardware may pose operational and security risks because Cisco no longer provides software updates, security patches, or technical support after the EoL date.

Note

The Hardware EoL filter currently supports Firewall Threat Defense devices managed by on-premises management center and cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center, and ASA devices.
