What Cisco Catalyst Center tool detects anomalous behavior and stops its manifestation into security threats?
- Power over Ethernet (PoE)
- AI Endpoint Analytics
- Cisco Secure Network Analytics
- Identity Services Engine (ISE)
Explanation: Cisco Catalyst Center uses AI Endpoint Analytics and endpoint trust score automation to detect anomalous behavior and prevent its manifestation into security threats. This tool is a core component of the platform's security architecture, providing deep visibility into what endpoints are on the network and allowing for granular macro- and micro-segmentation to limit the attack surface.
As part of the SecOps (Security Operations) capabilities, AI Endpoint Analytics classifies endpoints and helps enforce zero-trust network access. By monitoring endpoint behavior and calculating trust scores, it ensures that only authorized resources are accessed and that potential vulnerabilities are identified through continuous compliance checks. While other tools like Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Identity Services Engine (ISE) are part of the integrated security suite, AI Endpoint Analytics is specifically cited in the sources for its role in stopping the manifestation of anomalous behavior into threats.
