access

intro Enable Secure Access As your business grows, your network grows, and it's your job to connect users, devices, and data from different locations, while running business-critical applications and securing customer and business data. Digital business requires people to work from anywhere, BYOD is a critical element of employee experience, and digital transformation requires IoT devices, yet more than 70% of security breaches start on an endpoint device. Secure access helps you connect devices and provide access to customers, guests, and employees across your campuses, branches, and remote sites, while reducing the risk of security breaches in your business. benef Benefits of Secure Access Customize security and access levels for each user and device and apply it everywhere--irrespective of whether they are on a wired, wireless, or VPN connection Employees, guests, and customers should have different levels of access to your business, and they should maintain an appropriate level of access wherever and however they are connected. A powerful concept is to specify security access levels for users as business rules and then translate these business rules to policies that can be applied consistently wherever users go. Providing and enforcing the same policy to users and devices, irrespective of whether they have a wired, wireless, or VPN connection, gives customers and employees a great user experience with the right level of access while you protect your business. Provide identity-based security and client mobility with a secure network fabric overlay People and devices are mobile and connect from anywhere on the network--for secure access, it is important to have the appropriate policies follow them and be applied automatically. This can be achieved by building a secure network fabric overlay that controls access by user identity rather than IP address. The overlay uses the full capabilities of the network and security infrastructure to provide visibility, assurance, and a deep level of security and performance. For example, network capabilities including network segmentation, quality of service, and application-optimized path routing can apply the appropriate policy to users as they move across buildings and connect through different access points. This provides end-to-end security and access for users and devices, while allowing mobility with seamless handoffs. Maintain visibility and assure network performance of users and devices connected to your business As you securely connect users, devices, and applications over different types of networks from different locations, it's important to keep visibility over what is happening and get ongoing assurance of performance and security. Businesses want to understand the experience their customers and employees are getting, the performance of their business-critical applications, and the security of their business. They want assurance that things are working well and have the ability to see and fix things when they are not. When an issue does occur, they want to proactively know about it before it impacts the business, quickly triage the problem to identify the root cause, and identify potential solutions. Operators can then decide which solution to apply and with a low-delay feedback loop, they can see if the solution resolves the issue. Enhance security by continuously monitoring, detecting, and acting on threats using network-wide intelligence You can improve the performance and security of your business with a full loop of learning, adapting, and protecting. Visibility is important and telemetry from your network is a valuable source of intelligence. Network segmentation is a powerful security tool to limit the spread of attacks: it enables you to split your network into separate segments, assign users and devices to different segments, and identify and limit interactions across segments. Network segmentation dramatically limits the ability for attacks to propagate laterally. With a full feedback loop you can quickly identify and remedy threats. For example, if you automatically detect anomalous behaviors in your network and identify attacks such as malware, zero-day attacks, and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attempts, you can quickly revoke access to shut them down. train Train your team for Secure Access DevNet Certifications

sd-wan

intro Secure SD-WAN Enterprises are becoming more distributed every day. Your enterprise has main campuses, remote offices, and geographically distributed sites. Your customers connect to your business through the internet and, depending on your industry, from your branches or stores. Applications and data traverse multiple data centers, multiple clouds, and local and edge compute. And every person, location, and application needs to connect to the Internet. All these applications, locations, and people are connected by the Wide Area Network (WAN), and these circuits can be expensive so they need to be used efficiently, and security and performance are critical. The intersection of security, networking and cloud makes secure SD-WAN critical to your business. benef Benefits of SD-WAN Optimize WAN usage for cost, performance, and security by flexibly deploying traffic over different connections You can simplify your WAN to leverage more cost-effective Internet services and drive down operational expenses, while enhancing the performance of business-critical applications and improving access to the cloud. The WAN has multiple modes of connectivity, so you need the flexibility to deploy your WAN over different type of connections including Internet, or 4G LTE. Simplified management is needed to scale with the increasing number of users and devices while providing monitoring, analytics, and control, and policies can effectively specify connectivity, access, and security. You can use automation and APIs to enable integration into your existing workflows. Securely run business-critical applications for customers and employees The digital business relies on the performance of business-critical applications. You can optimize the user experience and security for these critical applications across your WAN by using consistent user policies and strong embedded security. Application visibility and control is critical in a distributed enterprise. You can build a secure SD-WAN fabric to be application-aware to prioritize business critical applications. Provide secure Internet access from every location; build security at the branch/edge Today every user and application needs access to the Internet and to the cloud. In the past it was sufficient to provide Internet access from the data center, but now a secure connection is needed from every location at the branch/edge. Built-in security in network devices at the branch/edge allows direct connection to the cloud and Internet for optimizing performance while maintaining a high level of security. Use network intelligence and multiple layers of security to protect from threats Threats and attacks can take on many forms--phishing, malware, and web attacks--and you need multiple layers of protectionto keep your business safe. You can analyze data flows to protect from unwanted access. Enterprise firewalls monitor and control incoming and outgoing traffic. Intrusion prevention inspects network packets in the router at the branch. Advanced malware detection and URL filtering detect and protect against malware and bad URLs. DNS-layer security blocks bad IP addresses. Protect your business with network segmentation With the number of devices coming on to the network, segmentation is critical for security. VLANs and IP subnets are highly manual and far too static for security in a world of diverse devices, applications and locations. You can protect your business at a deeper level with network segmentation--if an attack does occur, you can limit its impact from other applications, users, and data. train Train your team for Secure SD-WAN DevNet Certifications

network

intro Secure Data Center Network As a business leader, you need to drive business growth while achieving business objectives of compliance, data privacy, user experience, and operational gains. You're responsible for running business-critical applications and hosting sensitive business and customer data and doing so with high performance, reliability, and security. This requires you to design and optimize your infrastructure so that it can seamlessly and securely connect data and applications across multiple data centers and cloud providers, while also ensuring high performance and protection from threats and attacks. Secure data center networks are the core of your growing digital business. benef Benefits of a Secure Data Center Network Securely manage applications and data in hybrid and multicloud environments Business applications and data live across multiple data centers and multiple cloud providers. A secure data center network considers the connections and security across these environments. Think of the secure data center network as providing more than connectivity and bandwidth--it can also provide visibility, insights, policy enforcement, security, and threat defense. Apply security policies consistently across hybrid, multicloud environments Cloud applications and workloads move across physical data centers and multicloud environments, and your security level is defined by your weakest link. You can use policies to define security requirements for applications, users, and data. Integrated policy management allows you to apply these security policies consistently across hybrid, multicloud environment. Reduce the attack surface of your business with network segmentation Security can be applied to applications and data. You can protect your business at an even deeper level with network segmentation. Network segmentation limits the impact of attacks from other applications, users, and data. Design your secure data center network for threat intelligence and defense Getting deep and broad visibility over users, devices, networks, applications, workloads, and processes across your private and public cloud infrastructure allows you to protect your business from hackers and attacks. You can quickly detect, block, and respond to attacks before hackers steal data and disrupt business operations by continuously monitoring for threats and blocking access as attacks occur. train Train your team for Secure Data Center Network DevNet Certifications

experience

intro Modernize the workforce experience Your workforce is your company's biggest asset--so you need to give them a modern work environment that allows them to work together effectively to achieve business goals at digital speeds. Employee engagement directly impacts business; according to Gallup, highly engaged teams are 21% more productive and have 28% less internal theft. Teams need to form quickly to make decisions, and these teams involve employees in your organization and may also include outside customers and partners. Security is of utmost importance as you work with sensitive business and customer data and as your employees, contractors, and partners work on your business-critical systems. You can empower your workforce to solve your biggest business problems and grow your business. benef Benefits of modernize the workforce experience Create an organizational competence in quickly forming agile teams and enabling team collaboration. Digital business today requires groups of people to come together quickly and make decisions. Use team collaboration to build the capability to quickly form cross-functional teams with the right experts wherever they are and make them effective. You can increase productivity with team-based collaboration tools and use persistent team spaces for collaboration. People are mobile, so you can give employees the ability to work from anywhere. Digital spaces such as whiteboard tools that help team members create and collaborate. Create a fully engaged workforce with the power of video You can create a fully engaged workforce with the power of high-quality video collaboration. High quality video conferencing products can be used in meeting rooms and on desktops in business and home offices, and mobile and web conferencing products can be used in the same meetings for people on the go. Those who have experienced modern work environments with full video collaboration capabilities know the difference. In a Forbes Insights study with 300 senior executives, 78% say videoconferencing is more effective than audioconferencing, 72% say it is important to build trust and engagement, and 71% say it improves team performance. Enable secure collaboration by creating role-based security policies for users, devices, and applications You can enable collaboration while keeping your business secure by customizing the security policies for different types of users. For example, with role-based security policies you can customize access for employees, vendors, and contractors so they can use the applications that make the most sense for them; you can give privileged users access to production systems from approved work devices but not from personal devices; and you can ensure sensitive business applications with sensitive data can only be installed on encrypted mobile devices. This helps you ensure compliance and meet regulatory requirements. Make customer experience a core competence and a source of business intelligence At the end of the day, your customers are your business. Customers can be a source of business intelligence and help guide your business evolution if you know their interests and can adapt your offerings to their needs. You can improve your customer support experience and improve the efficiency of your customer support centers by combining customer and business intelligence. train Train your team for modernize the workforce experience DevNet Certifications
