Create a Security Cloud Control Tenant

You can provision a new Security Cloud Control tenant to onboard and manage your devices. If you use an On-Premises Firewall Management Center Version 7.2 and later, and want to integrate it with the Cisco Security Cloud, you can also create a Security Cloud Control tenant as part of the integration workflow.

Procedure

  1. Go to https://us.manage.security.cisco.com/provision.

  2. Select the region where you want to provision your Security Cloud Control tenant and click Sign Up.

  3. On the Security Cloud Sign On page, provide your credentials.

  4. If you do not have a Security Cloud Sign On account and want to create one, click Sign up now.

    1. Provide the information to create an account.

      Here are some tips:

      • Email: Enter the email address that you will eventually use to log in to Security Cloud Control.

      • Password: Enter a strong password.

    2. Click Sign up. Cisco sends you a verification email to the address you registered with.

    3. Open the email and click Activate account both on the mail and the Security Cloud Sign On page.

    4. Configure multifactor authentication using Duo on a device of your choice and click Log in with Duo and Finish.

      Note

      We recommend installing the Duo Security app on a mobile phone. Review Duo Guide to Two Factor Authentication: Enrollment Guide if you have questions about installing Duo.

  5. Provide a name for your tenant and click Create new account.

  6. A new Security Cloud Control tenant is created in the region you have chosen; you will also receive an e-mail about your Security Cloud Control tenant being created, with the details. If you are associated with multiple Security Cloud Control tenants already, on the Choose a tenant page, select the tenant you just created to log in to it. If you have created a new Security Cloud Control tenant for the first time, you get logged into your tenant directly.
