Cisco Router

Version: Cisco Router series 800, 2600, 2800, 1900, 2900, 3900, 7200, 7500 with IOS 12.x and 15.x

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet.

Netsurion Open XDR compiles and inspects critical events from Cisco router to provide an insight on user behavior, authentication failure etc

Netsurion Data Source Integrations for Cisco Router allows you to monitor the following components:-

  • Operations – Port status changes, Administrative and Network activity.
  • Security – User logon behavior.
  • Compliance – User authentication failures, Configuration changes, Routing protocol

Once Cisco Router is configured to deliver events to Netsurion Open XDR Manager; alerts, dashboards and reports can be configured into Netsurion Open XDR.

The following are the key Data Source Integration available in Netsurion Open XDR.
