When we started the Cisco Security Technology Alliance (CSTA) program years ago we envisaged a robust ecosystem of technology partners integrating with the Cisco Security portfolio to assist our mutual customers in solving complex security problems, reacting to threats, and increasing availability of their IT systems. At the outset, we took the approach of opening our security platform with APIs and advanced data sharing frameworks so that we could create meaningful and functional technology integrations. The underlying principle was that when we integrate, we offer our customers solutions that are greater than the sum of their parts.
Today we have integration APIs & SDKs across 9 product families in the Cisco Security portfolio
