Installing an SEC using a Security Cloud Control image

Installing an SEC using a Security Cloud Control image is a deployment process that

  • enables the Secure Event Connector (SEC) to forward events from ASA and FTD devices to the Cisco cloud for viewing in the Event Logging page

  • allows installation of multiple SECs on a tenant to distribute event forwarding workload across different locations, and

  • requires a two-part process involving Security Cloud Control Connector installation and SEC configuration.

Installation process

Installing an SEC is a two-part process:

  1. Install a Security Cloud Control Connector, to Support a Secure Event Connector, Using a Security Cloud Control VM Image You need one Security Cloud Control Connector for every SEC you install. The Security Cloud Control Connector is different than a Secure Device Connector (SDC).

  2. Install the Secure Event Connector on your Security Cloud Control Connector Virtual Machine.
