Cisco Analytics & Logging Advantage 2Y Retention | Security EA 3.0 — E3S-SAL-ADV-2YR

When incidents unfold slowly, short retention windows leave gaps in the record. Cisco Analytics & Logging Advantage -2Y Retention gives security teams a longer view into telemetry so they can trace activity, validate timelines, and support investigations with more context. For organizations that depend on security analytics to answer what happened, when it happened, and how far it spread, retention matters. This licensing option is built for teams that need durable access to logs without managing separate storage systems or stitching together fragmented archives. It supports operational review, threat hunting, and compliance workflows where historical data is essential. A two-year retention posture can be especially valuable for environments with extended incident response cycles, audit requirements, or recurring forensic analysis. As part of Cisco Security EA 3.0, this Advantage tier fits procurement models that prefer predictable subscription licensing and centralized cloud management. It helps security operations teams preserve evidence, reduce blind spots, and keep analytics available long enough to support real-world investigations rather than only immediate alerting.
