Catalyst + Meraki
Build strong campus, branch, wireless and WAN networks, run on site or from the cloud.
- Catalyst switching and wireless
- Meraki cloud management
- SD-WAN and routing
- Distributed branch networks
Vectra pairs more than 20 years of Cisco experience with modern network and cyber skills. From Catalyst and Meraki to Secure Firewall, Secure Access, Duo, Hypershield and AI Defense, we design infrastructure that is easier to run and harder to attack.

Cisco used to mean switches, routers, wireless, Meraki and firewalls. Those still matter. But Cisco now brings the network, identity, secure access, cloud and AI security much closer together, with control spread across the estate.
That is a chance to make things simpler - but only if the design starts from your setup, not from a product list. We start with your network, users, apps and risk. Then we pick the Cisco parts that belong.
Catalyst, routing, wireless and campus gear are still the base, with more cloud management options now.
Meraki is still key for spread-out sites, and Cisco is adding cloud management to more Catalyst gear.
Secure Firewall, Secure Access, Multicloud Defense and Hypershield now share policy and views through Security Cloud Control.
Duo now goes beyond MFA into wider identity security and adaptive access.
Cisco AI Defense and AI-aware SASE cover staff AI use, AI apps, agent access and AI traffic.
We focus on the Cisco parts that make sense together - a network project, a firewall refresh, a SASE move or a design that uses Cisco at several layers.
Build strong campus, branch, wireless and WAN networks, run on site or from the cloud.
Apply the same security policy across physical firewalls, cloud and spread-out workloads.
Cloud-delivered access and security for users reaching the internet, SaaS and private apps.
Check user identity and device trust with phishing-resistant sign-in and adaptive access.
Find AI use, assess AI assets and set controls around staff, AI apps, models and agents.
We don’t want Cisco projects to end at handover.
After deployment, Vectra can stay on for support, life cycle, network operations and wider managed services. The exact model depends on your environment and the technology in scope.
Once it is live, we keep agreed configuration under change control, plan upgrades, firmware, licences and hardware refresh before end of support, and bring network health into a support model where agreed.
We work complex issues through Vectra engineers and Cisco support, and we tie network and access choices into your wider cyber design.
We review your network, access, cloud, security and operating needs before we choose the Cisco design.
We design and deploy switching, wireless, routing, Meraki and SD-WAN with clear migration and cutover plans.
We move you from legacy firewalls to Cisco Secure Firewall with careful policy migration, testing and checks.
We set up Secure Access, Duo and identity-aware controls for hybrid users, SaaS and private apps.
We use Cisco cloud and workload controls where they give stronger segmentation, exploit protection and consistent policy.
We assess AI use and show where Cisco AI Defense and agent access controls fit your design.
Firewall, network security and SASE design for users, SaaS and private apps, wherever they are.
Make identity and device trust part of how users reach business apps.
Design strong networks, compute and hybrid infrastructure with security built in.
Bring supported Cisco gear into a wider managed IT and cyber service.
Yes. Vectra has worked with Cisco for more than 20 years. We provide Cisco design, buying, deployment, migration, support and wider managed services for supported technology.
Yes. We design and deploy Meraki for branch sites and cloud-run networks, including supported switching, wireless, SD-WAN and security.
Yes. We assess your current firewalls, design the target, migrate policy and links, test the new controls and manage the production cutover.
It is Cisco’s cloud-based Security Service Edge platform. It puts Zero Trust Network Access, a secure web gateway, CASB, DLP, firewall as a service, DNS security and digital experience monitoring in one place.
Hypershield is an AI-native, spread-out security design for modern data centres and workloads. It handles segmentation, exploit protection and self-testing software and policy updates. It became generally available in August 2026.
Yes, for supported technology and agreed scope. We provide support, life cycle, monitoring, change control and vendor escalation, and we can link it into wider managed IT or cyber services.
