Try the New Security Sandbox for Cisco Defense Orchestrator

Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO) is a cloud-based solution for managing security policy changes across Cisco security solutions, including Cisco firewalls, IOS devices, Multi-cloud Defense. Cisco Defense Orchestrator Sandbox allows you to interact with the CDO dashboard and API. Sandbox automatically onboards a Virtual FTD Device that you can configure and edit related policies.
Using DevNet CDO Sandbox you can have access to Cisco AI Assistant UI as well as the AI Assistant API. With AI Assistant you can interact with the system, manage firewall policies, and locate relevant documentation using natural language.
Onboarding devices to the CDO Sandbox
You need to add at least one device to CDO to play with the security policies and access the majority of the features. To onboard virtual Firewall Threat Defense devices to the Cisco Defense Orchestrator, we utilize the following API operations:
Since onboard operations require interaction with or CDO Postman collectiona device, this process can take up to 20 minutes.
For each user that launches the sandbox, we generate an API Token that you can copy-paste and use in your application, script, or CDO Postman collection.
If you want to onboard the Virtual FTD Device manually, navigate to the ‘Inputs’ tab, and in the ‘onboard_ftd’ drop-down menu item, choose the option ‘no.’
