What makes C1 + Cisco a powerful partnership

C1_Highlight_Cisco_Unified_Network_Security

Simplifying and securing networks with Cisco & C1

Cisco’s Secure Firewall and SD-WAN solutions deliver advanced perimeter protection, secure remote connectivity, and traffic segmentation across distributed environments. C1 enhances these capabilities with managed firewall services, policy tuning, and 24/7 monitoring and response via its Security Operations Centers (SOCs). For example, in K-12 districts, C1 deploys Cisco SD-WAN with managed firewall services to ensure reliable, compliant, and secure internet access across campuses, minimizing attack surfaces while optimizing connectivity.

Cloud collaboration & security 

Secure, intelligent collaboration in the cloud

Cisco Webex and Webex Contact Center enable secure, scalable hybrid collaboration experiences. C1’s CX team integrates these tools with Cisco Duo and Umbrella to deliver secure user access, content protection, and data loss prevention. In enterprise rollouts, C1 bundles Cisco Webex with managed identity protection and secure DNS to enable remote work environments that are seamless for users and secure by design—reducing collaboration risk without compromising productivity.

Infrastructure resilience & visibility

Intelligent infrastructure powered by Cisco & C1

Cisco Meraki, DNA Center, and ThousandEyes provide full-stack network performance and traffic analytics. C1 leverages these platforms within its IX practice to deliver real-time infrastructure monitoring, automated troubleshooting, and predictive maintenance. For example, C1 helps healthcare systems deploy Meraki and ThousandEyes for unified visibility across hospital sites—paired with C1’s managed services to proactively resolve latency or availability issues before they impact patient care.

AI-driven security operations

Accelerated threat response with Cisco XDR and C1 SOC

Cisco XDR correlates data across endpoints, email, cloud, and networks—powered by Talos threat intelligence—to detect and prioritize threats in real time. C1’s SX team integrates Cisco XDR into its SOCaaS and MDR services, providing 24/7 human-led investigation, AI-augmented triage, and automated remediation. A financial services client using Cisco XDR with C1’s managed detection services reduced its average incident response time by 65% and achieved continuous compliance reporting through C1’s security dashboards.

Identity, access & Zero Trust

Enabling Zero Trust with Cisco ISE and C1 IAM expertise

Cisco ISE centralizes access control across users, devices, and networks while Duo enforces strong user authentication. C1’s IAM specialists build out end-to-end Zero Trust architectures—layering in behavioral analytics, privilege access controls, and device trust scoring. For example, C1 recently enabled a global manufacturing customer to roll out Zero Trust policies using Cisco ISE and Duo, combined with C1 governance and lifecycle management services to ensure only verified users and devices access critical OT systems.

Risk mitigation & compliance 

Proactive compliance support with Cisco & C1

Cisco XDR and Umbrella deliver centralized security visibility, policy enforcement, and threat intelligence—all essential for audit-readiness. C1 enhances this foundation with its WAVES Security Risk Assessments, vCISO services, and tailored compliance packages (HIPAA, PCI, CMMC, NIST). For example, C1 helped a university align its cloud and network security stack with SecureX and Umbrella, while C1 advisory services mapped controls to NIST 800-171 and produced documentation required for grant funding.
