Enterprise networking and security, from branch to cloud.

Cisco for business - enterprise networking and security

Cisco offers a broad portfolio of networking and security solutions: Meraki for cloud-managed networking, Catalyst for campus networks, Secure Firewall for perimeter protection, Duo for multi-factor authentication, ISE for network access control, Umbrella for DNS and internet security, and Webex for communication and collaboration.

The advantage of one portfolio is consistent visibility and policy: the same organization manages switching, WiFi, firewall and employee access, with fewer consoles and fewer gaps between systems.

• A stable network for hybrid work: reliable connectivity between offices, branches, cloud and remote workers.
• Access control: verifying users and devices before they get access to the network and applications.
• Layered protection: firewall, DNS security and multi-factor authentication working together.
• Regulatory support: access controls, segmentation and logging that help meet the requirements of Israel's Privacy Protection Law Amendment 13, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS.

Meraki or Catalyst - which is right for you?

Cisco offers two main approaches to the enterprise network, and the choice depends on the organization's size, IT team structure and requirements:

• Meraki: fully cloud-managed, fast branch rollout, a simple interface and per-device licensing. Especially suited to distributed organizations and small IT teams.
• Catalyst: flexibility and advanced configuration-level control, suited to large campuses, data centers and complex environments. Some models can also be managed from the Meraki Dashboard.

ELPC helps choose the right approach after a needs assessment, and also designs mixed environments.

What you get

• Network architecture design and WiFi survey: needs mapping, coverage planning, and layering and segmentation.
• Build and deployment: installing and configuring Meraki, Catalyst, SD-WAN and Secure Firewall.
• Migration and upgrade: moving off end-of-life Cisco equipment or another vendor, planned in advance and executed in controlled maintenance windows.
• Access security: deploying Duo, ISE and Umbrella and connecting them to your identity provider.
• Hardening: firewall policy, segmentation, guest network separation and secure device management.
• License and equipment lifecycle management: tracking license and support renewals and firmware updates.

After the build, ELPC operates the network as part of its managed networking and security services: monitoring, fault handling, updates and continuous improvement.

Why Cisco with ELPC

• End-to-end design: network, security and identity planned together, as part of one outsourced IT and security department.
• Hardening, not just installation: configuration built around your organization's risks and reviewed over time.
• Ongoing operations: monitoring, updates, license management and fault handling as part of the managed service.
• Hebrew-speaking support: an Israeli network team that knows the local business environment.
• Regulatory alignment: controls and documentation that support the requirements of Amendment 13, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS, and help with audit readiness.
