The Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA) centralizes management and reporting functions across multiple Cisco Email Security Appliances (ESAs) and Web Security Appliances (WSAs). This integration simplifies the administration and planning of email and web security, improves compliance monitoring, enables a consistent enforcement of acceptable use policies, and enhances threat protection.
Organizations must often coordinate the management and administration of multiple appliances across geographically dispersed teams and must do so with limited staff and budget. The Cisco SMA addresses these challenges with industry-leading protection and control. Built on a robust platform optimized for reporting and tracking, the Cisco SMA delivers high performance and scalability for lasting investment value.

• Centralized management and reporting
  The Cisco SMA simplifies administration by publishing configurations from a single management console to multiple Cisco ESAs and WSAs. Updates and settings are managed centrally on that console rather than on the individual appliances.
• Message tracking
  Data is aggregated from multiple Cisco ESAs, including data categorized by sender, recipient, message subject, and other parameters. Scanning results, such as spam and virus verdicts, are also displayed, as are policy violations.
• Web tracking
  A record of individual web transactions is maintained, with information such as IP address, username, domain name, time accessed, and other details. Visibility is provided into employee use of Web 2.0 applications such as Facebook, YouTube, and instant messaging.
• Web reporting
  Web tracking information is aggregated in real time and displayed in a high-level, easy-to-use graphical format. Reporting features help administrators determine the websites, URL categories, and applications that employees can access on company devices.
• Threat monitoring
  Data about web-based threats is provided in real time, including, for example, which users are encountering the most blocks or warnings, and which websites and URL categories pose the biggest risks. Malware and other threats that Cisco WSAs have detected and blocked are also reported.
• Reputation scoring
  This feature provides detailed information about the reputation scores of the websites that users access. These scores are based on data provided by Cisco WSAs, which analyze web server behavior and assign a score to each URL that reflects the likelihood that it contains malware.
• Botnet detection
  Ports and systems with potential malware connections are displayed. Data from the Layer 4 traffic monitoring feature on Cisco WSAs can help organizations detect and remediate botnet-infected hosts.
