Cisco for Remote & Hybrid Teams

Secure Connectivity for Distributed Workforces

Remote and hybrid work models demand secure and reliable network access. Cisco provides solutions that extend corporate network security and performance to employees working from home or other remote locations. This includes VPN technologies, secure access service edge (SASE) platforms, and next-generation firewalls.

• Cisco AnyConnect: Provides secure VPN access, enabling remote workers to connect to the corporate network as if they were in the office.
• Cisco Meraki Go: Offers simple, cloud-managed networking solutions suitable for small office/home office (SOHO) environments.
• Cisco Umbrella: Delivers cloud-native security that protects users from internet threats wherever they work.
• Cisco Secure Firewall: Provides advanced threat protection and network segmentation for both on-premises and remote access.

Collaboration Tools for Enhanced Productivity

Effective communication and collaboration are critical for hybrid teams. Cisco Webex offers a suite of tools that integrate video conferencing, messaging, and file sharing, designed to keep teams connected and productive regardless of their physical location. These tools are built with security and scalability in mind.

• Webex Meetings: High-definition video conferencing with screen sharing, recording, and interactive features.
• Webex Messaging: Persistent team messaging for project collaboration and quick communication.
• Webex Calling: Cloud-based phone system integration for unified communications.
• Webex Devices: A range of hardware including video conferencing units, desk phones, and headsets optimised for Webex.

Endpoint Security and Management

Managing and securing endpoints for remote workers presents unique challenges. Cisco solutions help IT teams maintain visibility and control over devices accessing corporate resources, ensuring compliance and mitigating risks. This includes endpoint detection and response (EDR) and mobile device management (MDM).

• Cisco Secure Endpoint: Protects devices from advanced threats with EDR capabilities.
• Cisco Duo: Provides multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify user identities before granting access to applications.
• Cisco Intersight: Offers cloud-based management for Cisco infrastructure, including servers and networking devices, simplifying operations for distributed environments.

Optimising Network Performance for Remote Users

Ensuring a consistent user experience for remote employees requires optimising network performance. Cisco offers tools for network monitoring, application performance management, and quality of service (QoS) to prioritise critical business traffic.

• Cisco ThousandEyes: Provides visibility into internet and cloud application performance, helping identify and resolve issues affecting remote users.
• Cisco SD-WAN: Optimises traffic routing over various network connections to improve application performance for distributed sites and remote workers.
