Are you sometimes overwhelmed by your network security operations? No wonder. Network security is an umbrella term for various technologies, devices, and processes, defined by a set of rules and configurations. These protocols protect the integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility of organizational networks and data using a combination of software and hardware. Network security solutions are vital to every organization — regardless of size, industry, or infrastructure — to protect it from cyber threats.
Today’s network architecture is complex and faces many challenges, including changing environments and attackers constantly trying to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. Worse still, these vulnerabilities can be practically anywhere—from data and applications to users and locations. Fortunately, this is where network security management tools and applications come in. They provide a quick, simple, and efficient way to solve all your network security problems.
Introducing Cisco Meraki Security — effective network security solutions for your enterprise
Cisco Meraki Network Security solutions offer fully centralized cloud management for security, networking, and application control. But that’s not all.
Use Case 1: Seamlessly separate WAN networks to avoid failure
Enterprises often use the same WAN connection for both company and guest traffic. This commonly leads to network failure as unsecured devices on the guest network can compromise the company’s network, causing serious harm to the business.
Cisco’s Meraki Solution separates the two, creating secure policies for both networks. What’s more, the MX series comes with Meraki SD-WAN and an integrated, automatic failover to another separate and secure connection to ensure seamless connectivity across your organization.
Use Case 2: Centralized visibility and easy policy management with support from DT experts
Many companies struggle without expert knowledge of how to handle cyberattacks and comply with data protection regulations. Navigating through multiple security devices and services is complex, costly, and simply not practical.
Meraki delivers comprehensive cloud-based security services, including firewalls, content filters, anti-malware, and antivirus-based threat intelligence networks. Everything is pre-configured by security experts. What’s more, it’s all provided and managed by Telekom, helping customers save time and effort.
How does Meraki Network Security work?
Physical, technical, and administrative — there are many layers to consider when addressing an organization’s network security. As each layer of network security is vulnerable to attack, it’s essential to design network security hardware, software, and policies for each layer. Meraki Network Security helps you achieve just that in three simple steps:
Physical Network Security
Physical security controls are designed to prevent unauthorized physical access to network components such as routers, cabling cupboards, and so on. They offer protection with controlled access protocols and devices such as locks, biometric authentication, and more.
Technical Network Security
This layer aims to protect data stored on the network or which comes into or out of the network. Protection is twofold: securing data and systems against unauthorized access and malicious activities.
Administrative Network Security
Administrative security is all about the security policies and processes that govern user behavior, including users' authentication processes, access level, and how IT teams manage infrastructure changes.
