Enterprise Cybersecurity Platform (Panoptica)

Enterprise Cybersecurity Platform (Panoptica)

Cisco Outshift — UX/UI & Design Systems

Contributed to the design and evolution of a large-scale cybersecurity platform following Cisco’s acquisition of Lightspin, supporting integration efforts and system-wide consistency.

Context

Panoptica is a complex, enterprise-grade platform covering multiple domains of cloud and application security. Following acquisition, the challenge was to:

  • integrate Lightspin capabilities into the platform
  • maintain consistency across a large, distributed design team
  • support highly technical, data-heavy interfaces

My Role

  • Led design system alignment across product teams
  • Ensured consistent adoption and contribution to shared components
  • Designed key features within the platform, including real-time monitoring experiences

Key Contributions

1. Design System Governance

  • Supported adoption of a unified design system across multiple teams
  • Ensured consistency in UI patterns and components during rapid product evolution
  • Encouraged contribution back into the system to maintain scalability

2. Real-Time CDR Visualization

  • Designed a heatmap-based interface for monitoring cluster health in real time
  • Represented system states (healthy, weak, failed) through visual encoding
  • Enabled quick scanning and identification of system issues

3. Adaptive Interface Design

  • Created responsive experiences adapting to scale (few vs many clusters)
  • Ensured usability across varying data densities

4. Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Worked within a large, multi-functional team environment
  • Helped align design decisions across different product areas
  • Supported cohesion during a complex integration phase

Impact

  • Contributed to a more unified and scalable product experience
  • Improved visibility into real-time system health for users
  • Strengthened design system adoption across the platform
