Deployments

The table provides the following information:

You can search and sort the deployments to narrow the display.

• Search By Deployment Name - Enter the name of the deployment to find specific deployments.

• Users - Click the drop-down menu to filter on users who created or modified deployments.

• Search By Associated Profiles - Enter the name of a profile to find deployments associated with that profile.

• Sort - You can sort the table alphabetically by deployment name or based on the by date and time the deployment was created or modified. Click the (Sort) icon next to the column headers to sort the table in ascending or descending order.

Cisco XDR includes the XDR Default Deployment, which can be installed on your endpoints to improve detections and enrich incidents. The XDR Default Deployment is associated with two default Secure Client profiles, Cloud Management Default Profile and NVM Cloud Default Profile, and is configured to send Network Visibility Module (NVM) data to Cisco XDR. For more information on NVM, see the Network Visibility Module in Cisco XDR help topic.

Click the (Ellipsis) icon for the desired operating system and choose Network installer or Full installer to download the installer. Once the download is finished, install the deployment on your endpoints.

Once you have installed the XDR Default Deployment on your endpoints, you can view the NVM data in Secure Cloud Analytics (now part of Cisco XDR). This data is then sent to Cisco XDR where you will see incidents enriched with NVM data from Secure Cloud Analytics.

Note: You cannot edit or delete default deployments. If you want to edit a default deployment, copy the deployment and modify the copied deployment settings.
