Cisco Software Defined Access (SDA) just got better with Common Policy, a unique capability that ensures consistent policy enforcement at all network entry points through cross-domain context exchange.
The Power of Cisco Platforms brings new network intelligence from the Meraki Cloud dashboard and Cisco DNA Center to industry-leading Catalyst Switching and Access Points, radically simplifying operations for hybrid cloud applications and hybrid workplaces.
Continuous Learning across solutions and full-stack architectures is key to developing secure, innovative network technologies and keeping Cisco engineers growing in their careers.
In order to grow network-connected ecosystems of OT/IoT endpoints and support a hybrid workforce, organizations need to transition to IPv6 to take advantage of unlimited IP addresses.
Learn how a flexible combination of SASE (pure cloud) and Secure SD-WAN (hybrid cloud, point of presence, and on-premise) can be applied as needed to fit specific use cases while relying on the same software-defined architecture to implement and manage it all.
Segmenting networks using Security Group Access Control Lists (SGACL) reduces the threat surface by limiting the reach of attacks in east-west traffic to within segments. By sending the permit and deny logs generated by the SGACLs to SIEM applications, SecOps can analyze and correlate them with indicators of compromise generated by other security appliances.
Granular network segmentation is the preferred defensive method to prevent the lateral spread of threats through networks. It is also ideal to enforce policies that restrict access to applications by trusted devices and individuals. Automation for identifying, grouping, and enforcing segmentation policies is key to securing networks of all sizes.
Controllers bring purposeful intelligence into an Intent-Based Network by acting as intermediaries between human operators specifying intents, and all the switches, routers, and access points that provide the required connectivity.
Wireless technologies, AI, rich behavioral and telemetry databases, more flexible and economical WAN links, and abundant cloud compute resources are becoming available to address the new reality of increasingly complex networks.
