The following diagram describes how Catalyst SD-WAN shares security events with Security Cloud Control Firewall Management.

Event Flow from Catalyst SD-WAN to Security Cloud Control Firewall Management

Step

Description

1

A remote user accesses the network and the Catalyst SD-WAN device generates event log for the corresponding traffic. The device then exports the event data to a PSV file and sends it to the Catalyst SD-WAN Manager.

2

Catalyst SD-WAN Manager sends the event data to the SD-WAN Analytics cloud.

3

SD-WAN Analytics stores the event data in cloud to make it accessible for Security Services Exchange and notifies Security Services Exchange.

After receiving the notification from SD-WAN Analytics cloud, Security Services Exchange downloads the event data from SD-WAN AWS cloud.

4

Security Services Exchange converts the event data from PSV to JSON format and sends it to Cisco Security Analytics and Logging (SaaS).

5

Security Analytics and Logging (SaaS) process the event data using various services to classify and enrich it for use by the Security Cloud Control Firewall Management .

It stores the event data in the cloud data store, which is queried by the event viewer to provide SOC analysts with the relevant event data.
