Sending Events to the Cisco Cloud

You can send events to the Cisco cloud server. From there, various Cisco cloud services can access the events. You can then use these cloud applications, such as Cisco Threat Response, to analyze the events and to evaluate threats that the device might have encountered.

Before you begin

You must register the device with the Cisco Smart Software Manager before you can enable this service.

You can connect to the Cisco Threat Response at https://visibility.amp.cisco.com/ in the US region, https://visibility.amp.cisco.com/ in the EU region. You can watch videos about the use and benefits of the application on YouTube at http://cs.co/CTRvideos. For more information about using Cisco Threat Response with FTD, see Firepower and CTR Integration Guide, which you can find at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/defense-center/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html.
