Challenges with managing Cisco Meraki in a complex enterprise environment<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe have worked closely with Cisco for many years in large complex environments and have developed integrations to support a variety of Cisco solutions for our joint customers. In recent years we have seen an increased interest in the use of Cisco Meraki devices by enterprises that are also AlgoSec customers. In this post , we will highlight some of the AlgoSec capabilities that can quickly add value for Meraki customers.<\/p>\n

Meeting the Enterprise<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cisco Meraki MX<\/span><\/a> is a multifunctional security and SD-WAN enterprise appliance with a wide set of capabilities to address multiple use cases\u2014from an all-in-one device. Organizations across all industries rely on the MX to deliver secure connectivity to hub locations or multicloud environments. The MX is 100% cloud managed, so installation and remote management is truly zero touch, making it ideal for distributed branches, campuses, and data center locations.<\/p>\n

In our talks with AlgoSec customers and partner architects, it is evident that the benefits which originally made Meraki MX popular in commercial deployments were just as appealing to enterprises. Many enterprises are now faced with waves of expansion in employees working from home, and burgeoning demands for scalable remote access \u2013 along with increasing network demands by regional centers. The leader of one security team I spoke with put it very well, \u201cWe are deploying to 1,200 locations in four global regions, planned to be 1,500 by year\u2019s end. The choice of Meraki is for us a \u2018no-brainer.\u2019 If you haven\u2019t already, I know that you\u2019re going to see this become a more popular option with many big operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Natural Companions \u2013 AlgoSec ASMS and Cisco Meraki-MX<\/p>\n

This is a natural situation to meet enhanced requirements with AlgoSec ASMS \u2014 reinforcing Meraki\u2019s impressive capabilities and scale as a combined, enterprise-class solution. ASMS brings to the table traffic planning and visualization, rules optimization and management, and a solution to address enterprise-level requirements for policy reporting and compliance auditing.<\/p>\n

In AlgoSec, we\u2019re proud of AlgoSec FireFlow\u2019s<\/span><\/a> ability to model the security-connected state of any given endpoints across an entire enterprise. Now our customers with Meraki MX can extend this technology that they know and trust, analyze real traffic in complex deployments, and acquire an understanding of the requirements and impact of changes delivered to their users and applications that are connected by Meraki deployments.<\/p>\n

As it\u2019s unlikely that your needs, or those of any data center and enterprise, are met by a single vendor and model, AlgoSec unifies operations of the Meraki-MX with those of the other technologies, such as enterprise NGFW and software-defined network fabrics. Our application-centric approach means that Meraki MX can be a component in delivering solutions for zero-trust and microsegmentation with other Cisco technology like Cisco ACI, and other third parties.<\/p>\n
