Cisco. Build the network like security depends on it.

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 is no longer just the network under the security stack.

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.

  • Traditional networking

    Catalyst, routing, wireless and campus gear are still the base, with more cloud management options now.

  • Cloud-managed operations

    Meraki is still key for spread-out sites, and Cisco is adding cloud management to more Catalyst gear.

  • Security convergence

    Secure Firewall, Secure Access, Multicloud Defense and Hypershield now share policy and views through Security Cloud Control.

  • Identity-driven access

    Duo now goes beyond MFA into wider identity security and adaptive access.

  • AI-era security

    Cisco AI Defense and AI-aware SASE cover staff AI use, AI apps, agent access and AI traffic.

A connected platform across network, access, cloud and AI.

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.

Secure Networking

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
Hybrid Mesh Security

Firewall + Cloud

Apply the same security policy across physical firewalls, cloud and spread-out workloads.

  • Cisco Secure Firewall and Security Cloud Control
  • Multicloud Defense
  • Hypershield
  • Workload segmentation
SASE and Zero Trust

Secure Access

Cloud-delivered access and security for users reaching the internet, SaaS and private apps.

  • ZTNA, SWG and FWaaS
  • CASB and DLP
  • DNS security
Identity Security

Cisco Duo

Check user identity and device trust with phishing-resistant sign-in and adaptive access.

  • MFA and SSO
  • Device trust and adaptive access
  • Identity Intelligence
AI Security

Cisco AI Defense

Find AI use, assess AI assets and set controls around staff, AI apps, models and agents.

  • Workforce AI visibility
  • AI asset discovery and model assessment
  • Runtime guardrails and agentic controls

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.

20+
years with Cisco

Design the architecture. Migrate cleanly. Keep it running.

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.

  • Architecture and assessment

    We review your network, access, cloud, security and operating needs before we choose the Cisco design.

  • Network modernisation

    We design and deploy switching, wireless, routing, Meraki and SD-WAN with clear migration and cutover plans.

  • Firewall migration

    We move you from legacy firewalls to Cisco Secure Firewall with careful policy migration, testing and checks.

  • SASE and identity

    We set up Secure Access, Duo and identity-aware controls for hybrid users, SaaS and private apps.

  • Cloud and segmentation

    We use Cisco cloud and workload controls where they give stronger segmentation, exploit protection and consistent policy.

  • AI security readiness

    We assess AI use and show where Cisco AI Defense and agent access controls fit your design.

Connect Cisco to the rest of your security programme.

Network security

SASE & Next-Gen Firewall

Firewall, network security and SASE design for users, SaaS and private apps, wherever they are.

Secure access

Zero-Trust Architecture

Make identity and device trust part of how users reach business apps.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure Security

Design strong networks, compute and hybrid infrastructure with security built in.

Managed IT + cyber

Vectra SONAR

Bring supported Cisco gear into a wider managed IT and cyber service.

Working with Cisco and Vectra in Australia.

Is Vectra a Cisco partner in Australia?

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.

Does Vectra deploy Cisco Meraki?

Yes. We design and deploy Meraki for branch sites and cloud-run networks, including supported switching, wireless, SD-WAN and security.

Can Vectra move our firewalls to Cisco Secure Firewall?

Yes. We assess your current firewalls, design the target, migrate policy and links, test the new controls and manage the production cutover.

What is Cisco Secure Access?

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.

What is Cisco Hypershield?

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.

Can Vectra manage Cisco after deployment?

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.
