For the sixth consecutive year, Cisco has been positioned as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SD-WAN.

As the industry leader in SD-WAN, with over 173,000 potential customers, Cisco remains committed to providing unparalleled connectivity and security capabilities, ensuring your entire network stays ahead of the curve at all times? For the fifth year in succession, Cisco has been recognized by Gartner as a leader in its field.

The importance of a secure Wide Area Network (WAN) edge has never been more crucial.

Across the globe, customers and applications seamlessly connect within an intricate, distributed ecosystem spanning both controlled and uncontrolled infrastructure. Simultaneously, businesses are pouring resources into cutting-edge artificial intelligence solutions to design, produce, and deliver products, services, and immersive experiences with unparalleled efficiency and precision. Latency spikes and inefficiencies that once were mere nuisances have become critical blockers to the success of a hybrid workforce operating at optimal efficiency.

With our unique ability to deliver seamless connectivity, safeguard your entire network, and ensure consistently exceptional experiences, Cisco Secure WAN serves as the digital backbone of your organization. The network spans workplaces, factories, shops, distribution facilities, and critical infrastructure sites such as substations and ports. With a focus on delivering exceptional performance, our solution seamlessly integrates high-performance routing, intelligent software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN), and adaptive multicloud connectivity, all built upon a robust platform designed to enhance safety and trust at every interaction across your community.

Emphasizing Enhanced Cybersecurity Capabilities and Evolutionary SASE Readiness

  • Unrivaled Risk Mitigation: With built-in, next-generation firewalls in every Cisco WAN Home device, on-premise security is elevated to unprecedented heights, boasting a remarkable 25% increase in malware detection efficacy compared to industry standards.
  • Enhancing Secure Connectivity: Cisco’s secure Wide Area Network (WAN) edge is now SASE-ready, seamlessly integrating Cisco Safe Entry alongside support for open third-party Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions through native compatibility.
  • Enhanced threat detection: Cisco MX’s seamless integration with Cisco XDR enables automated identification and mitigation of increasingly sophisticated threats spanning multiple attack vectors, thereby ensuring proactive risk protection.
  • By combining forces with Splunk, Cisco introduces a game-changing union of IT Service Intelligence and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), empowering organizations to effectively navigate the complexities of modern IT infrastructure.

Developing a profound understanding of where your strengths lie and where you need support.

With resilience as a foundation against safety threats, organizations must build an enduring framework that consistently yields extraordinary performances. In the event of an incident, we can swiftly determine whether it’s a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, ransomware, network outage, infrastructure issue, or malicious code push within minutes. Our advanced monitoring tools and expert analysts enable us to quickly identify the root cause and take prompt corrective action to mitigate any impact.

For the first time, in this year’s Magic Quadrant for SD-WAN, Gartner evaluates vendors’ digital experience management (DEM) capabilities. Without genuine visibility across both your own infrastructure and the companies you interact with, it’s impossible to identify and resolve the root cause of issues. By integrating Cisco ThousandEyes into Cisco SD-WAN, IT teams gain instant, user-centric insights into network performance, ensuring seamless digital experiences for every individual across the entire organization.

Customized fit: a single measurement cannot guarantee a perfect fit for every individual.

Enterprise environments are numerous. IT teams must provide secure Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity across diverse locations, including those with generalist IT personnel and others necessitating precise configurations for optimal performance. Cisco’s SD-WAN solution empowers organizations to select the optimal technology for each site, simplifying management through the most operationally efficient SD-Network offering, paired with a customizable SD-WAN that integrates seamlessly. The setup process is streamlined through the intuitive Meraki dashboard, effortlessly establishing a reliable connection between Meraki and Catalyst SD-WAN solutions to optimize network traffic flow.
