How does Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud provide security for cloud environments?

Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud (now Cisco Secure Network Analytics) primarily provides comprehensive network visibility and advanced threat detection capabilities for cloud environments by analyzing network telemetry data, such as NetFlow and public cloud logs. It identifies anomalous behavior, insider threats, and malware using behavioral analytics and machine learning.

While indirectly contributing to preventing data exfiltration by detecting anomalous behavior, its primary function is detection and analysis, not direct prevention like Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools.

Assigning Internet-based DNS protection is a function of services like Cisco Umbrella, not the core capability of Stealthwatch Cloud.

Facilitating secure connectivity between networks is typically handled by VPNs, firewalls, or Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions, not primarily by Stealthwatch Cloud.
