LAS VEGAS, June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CISCO LIVE -- Cisco (CSCO), the leader in enterprise networking and security, is delivering on its promise of the AI-driven Cisco Security Cloud to simplify cybersecurity and empower people to do their best work from anywhere regardless of the increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. Cisco is investing in cutting-edge innovations in artificial intelligence and machine learning that will empower security teams by simplifying operations and increasing efficacy. Secure Connectivity to All Applications and Resources, Anywhere "With Cisco Secure Access, we are removing the burden from the user and providing a superior experience with frictionless access to all applications—not just some—to enable secure, hybrid work," said Jeetu Patel, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Security and Collaboration at Cisco. "Our unmatched visibility of the network gives us an advantage that no other company has—and we truly believe that where security meets the network, Cisco is the best in the world." Highlights of Cisco Secure Access include:
Cisco is collaborating with leading mobile device vendors to create the safest and best user experience no matter where users work. Cisco collaborated with Apple to incorporate Zero Trust Access (ZTA) capabilities powered by Cisco Secure Access into a native experience on iOS and macOS, making secure access to applications pervasive while making it simpler for IT and more secure for everyone. "At Apple, we believe deeply in providing privacy and security that is built in from the ground up," said Susan Prescott, Apple's Vice President of Enterprise & Education Marketing. "Later this year, iPhone, iPad, and Mac will have native support for network relays. Together with Cisco Secure Access, enterprises will have a secure and seamless remote access solution, to do their best work from anywhere, on the best devices for business." Cisco Secure Access is taking a hybrid Points of Presence (POP) approach with Cisco Data Centers and public cloud providers to rapidly extend global reach for our customers. As part of the Cisco Security Cloud, it leverages capabilities from the rest of the Cisco security and networking portfolio, including embedded network visibility from Cisco ThousandEyes, and can be easily integrated with solutions from third-party vendors. Cisco Secure Access will be in limited availability starting in July 2023 and will be Generally Available in October 2023. "Organizations are deploying SSE for a variety of reasons, but improving security outcomes is arguably at the top of the list. Achieving his requires an emphasis on users to create a frictionless experience and simplifying security team processes to improve efficiency and ensure consistency," said John Grady, Principal Analyst Enterprise Strategy Group. "Security teams making plans for SSE should prioritize integrated solutions that focus on simplicity, scale, and user experience." "At WWT our goal is to provide security solutions and services that help our customers achieve their business goals. As a Cisco partner, we are really excited about the direction Cisco is taking with the launch of their Cisco Secure Access solution," said Neil Anderson, Area Vice President, Cloud & Infrastructure Solutions at WWT.
