Q: How do I make sure that my workflow is not changed by a bad actor?
Right now in CWM, you can limit which users are assigned to what roles and what those roles can do.
HN814: Automating Your Network with Cisco Crosswork Workflow Manager (Sponsored)
Q: Can you give us a sense of what other maybe network operating systems you would support outside the Cisco portfolio?
The first one we did that was multi-vendor out of the pre-built use cases was the Juniper MX960.
HN814: Automating Your Network with Cisco Crosswork Workflow Manager (Sponsored)
Q: Is Cisco Crosswork Workflow Manager multi-vendor?

Q: Can I use CWM for other things, or do I need to have my sort of network automation practice in place before CWM makes sense?
There are two ways that customers start to use Workflow Manager. The easiest, fastest time to value is to use our pre-built workflows.
