What Is SASE? (Secure Access Service Edge)
Traditional network architectures built around centralized data centers struggle under today’s hybrid and cloud-first demands. As employees connect from offices, homes, and public networks, routing all traffic through a single hub introduces latency and degrades performance. Adding new SaaS applications and mobile devices increases complexity and strains legacy VPNs and firewalls. Secure Access Service Edge […]
Securing Networks with Cisco XDR and Meraki MX Integration
Modern enterprise networks face threats that evolve at machine speed. So, simply spotting attacks isn’t enough. You need to react and neutralize threats the moment they appear. The shift toward distributed offices, remote workers, and hybrid infrastructure makes centralized monitoring less effective without complementary edge enforcement. By integrating Cisco XDR (Extended Detection and Response) with Meraki MX […]
The Role of Meraki Sensors in Enhancing Physical Security and Environmental Monitoring
Today’s facilities and IT teams are expected to manage far more than network uptime. From server rooms to retail coolers and classroom air quality, modern environments demand intelligent monitoring to ensure safety, efficiency, and asset protection. Physical security and environmental control have become data-centric challenges, and solving them requires visibility, not guesswork. And the Meraki […]
Cisco Endpoint Security: Small and Medium-Sized Businesses Must Prioritize
Cyber threats are no longer reserved for large enterprises. Today, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face the same advanced attack techniques used against Fortune 500 companies, including fileless malware, zero-day exploits, phishing, and ransomware. Yet most SMBs operate with lean IT teams and tighter budgets, making it harder to defend every entry point. The endpoint, […]
Introducing the New Meraki MX650: How This Works
Enterprise-Level Traffic Deserves Enterprise-Grade Hardware IT leaders face a daunting reality: supporting thousands of remote users, managing hybrid cloud environments, and maintaining secure, scalable VPN infrastructure across global sites—all with minimal overhead. Most SD-WAN appliances can’t keep up. They choke under high tunnel counts or struggle with deep packet inspection at scale. But now we […]
Introducing the New MV Camera Models: Enhancing Security with Advanced Features
Physical security is no longer just about recording what happened—it now predicts, preventing, and responds to threats in real-time. As businesses use smarter infrastructure, surveillance solutions must evolve to meet higher standards of intelligence, reliability, and integration. This demand has led to the release of the third-generation Meraki MV cameras, Cisco’s latest innovation in cloud-managed […]
What Is (XDR) Cisco Extended Detection and Response?
Cybersecurity threats are becoming more advanced and relentless, challenging businesses of all sizes to rethink their security strategies. Traditional security tools, such as firewalls, antivirus programs, and endpoint detection, often operate in isolation, leaving security teams struggling to correlate incidents across different environments. The complexity of modern cyberattacks requires a unified approach that can detect […]
DNS Advantage: How It Enhances Your Network Security
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the backbone of Internet communication, enabling users to access websites and cloud applications by translating domain names into IP addresses. However, this essential function also makes it a prime target for cyber threats. Attackers exploit DNS vulnerabilities to launch phishing attacks, malware infections, and command-and-control (C2) communications. Businesses that […]
