The document discusses network security challenges and Cisco's threat-centric security model. It highlights issues with legacy security systems being siloed, inefficient, and manual. Cisco's model focuses on detecting, blocking, and defending against threats across networks, endpoints, mobile devices, virtual systems, and clouds. The model provides advanced malware protection, firewalls, network security, and secure access and identity services. It also discusses how Cisco products like ISE, FirePower, ASA, and WSA can integrate using pxGrid to share user identity, location, and device context across the security stack.
