"Our new security solutions, developed through a collaboration
with Cisco, provide additional layers of protection and greater
peace of mind for businesses that are leveraging cloud-first,
remote or hybrid work solutions to grow their operations," said
Bob Schroeder, Vice President,
Enterprise Data Product Management for Spectrum Enterprise. "These
products offer additional support and expertise to help clients
protect their businesses from the complex cybersecurity threats
found in today's working environments."
Managed Network Edge and Enterprise Network Edge, from
Spectrum Enterprise, are modular, all-in-one platforms that
simplify the deployment and management of an organization's
network. While each platform offers slightly different
features to address the diverse needs of today's businesses, both
Managed Network Edge and Enterprise Network Edge provide
connectivity, equipment and network management in an easy-to-use
solution and offer routing, SD-WAN, switching, security, remote
access and LAN options. Layering on Secure Access with Cisco Duo
and Cloud Security with Cisco+ Secure Connect provides clients with
the full protection of a secure access service edge, commonly
referred to as SASE.
Features of the new enhancements include:
- Secure Access with Cisco Duo. This option helps protect
organizations from unauthorized access, credentials abuse and
account takeover. It allows IT teams to set access policies by user
and device, regardless of location and applies a zero-trust
approach to access management. Key features include multi-factor
authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), passwordless and
risk-based authentication. These capabilities help secure and limit
accessibility to applications and resources and protect
organizations from attacks using stolen or compromised
credentials.
- Cloud Security with Cisco+ Secure Connect. This solution
adds an additional layer of cybersecurity protection when accessing
public clouds. In an increasingly complex hybrid cloud environment,
Cloud Security with Cisco+ Secure Connect utilizes a zero-trust
approach to network access and provides a centralized, streamlined
way to implement security priorities across every cloud location
and device. The solution simplifies the way IT teams can protect
their organizations against the potential of cybersecurity threats,
including breaches, data loss, malware or regulatory
violations.
In addition to the protection enabled, both services include
professional integration and management to help IT teams layer the
capabilities into their network. When combined with design and
implementation services from Spectrum Enterprise, along with
end-to-end network management, businesses benefit from an array of
cyber protection solutions to meet growing security threats,
resulting in a more protected and complete networking
ecosystem.
