In this podcast, we discuss recent features, enhancements, and deployment strategies for Cisco SD-Access. New features have enabled additional ways to evolve an existing network into a modern, automated, and secure SD-Access network in gradual steps that minimize disruption to business or users. Network Administrators can choose their starting point in the network evolution journey depending on the status of their existing network and decide their destination based on their business needs, adding benefits at each step along the way. New segmentation capabilities and deployment flexibility have enhanced SD-Access to support Layer 2 switched access networks as a migration step in the journey. New features also enable use cases that allow flexible routing of traffic from Layer 2 access networks to destinations outside the fabric. This is very useful in multitenant networks. We also discuss the deep visibility that SD-Access features such as AI Endpoint Analytics and Group Based Policy Analytics bring that helps administrators determine what endpoint devices are on the network and how communication flows between them and other resources. This visibility lets them craft effective and granular access policies, which they can enforce automatically through device configurations that segment the network.

The ways your IT enables secure, trusted, and flexible collaboration is a major factor in your business’ ability to address, overcome, and even benefit from disruption, especially in these uncertain times. Given the new normal organizations have faced over the last year, it has become evident that it’s not just how your co-workers need to execute their daily operations, but also how your customers must pivot. It means more than just understanding and managing the span of technologies in use and how to securely enable and interact with them at scale; it means having actionable intel and insights and being able to respond to them without impacting performance. And, to make that environment operate optimally at scale with agility and resilience, you need technological acumen edge-to-edge. Join Chris Rittler, VP of Product Management for Cisco Business Critical Services and Cisco Champions as they discuss how your organization can take proactive steps to be prepared for an uncertain future and build greater resiliency for your business.

Now more than ever, sustainable and flexible building designs are at the forefront of every developer, constructor and owner’s next big project. The return on investments for creating dynamic, intelligent spaces can be "funded" by net-zero, or even net-positive designs that are easier to spec, deploy and commission with smart building technology. You cannot automate that which is not connected, and it is exponentially easier to connect tens of thousands of things using the same design than it is to keep track of duplicate and disparate materials and procedures. A single converged network can power, connect and secure buildings systems with 90W PoE in ways never previously imagined, driving complexity and cost out of projects and simplifying the ongoing operations while creating the smartest and most agile spaces to keep up with the changing world. Tune in to this episode to learn how Cisco Smart Building Solutions create intuitive, trusted facilities that help enhance health, safety and efficiencies to form the foundation to the future of work.

Cisco introduced End to End (E2E) Encryption in 2008 as a Webex Meeting option where only the meeting participants—and not the Webex cloud—have access to the meeting encryption key. Since most business over the last 12 months has been conducted virtually, the security and confidentiality of meetings has become a priority for our customers. Cisco expects that end to end encryption will become a commonplace meeting feature as privacy and confidentiality become a baseline expectation from many customers, and we have been driving the delivery of a set of open IETF standards that will allow multiple vendors to adopt E2E encryption as a standard. Tune in to this episode to learn more about Webex's new standards-based approach for secure and confidential meetings with Zero Trust Security which covers: - The Webex architecture for Zero Trust End to End Encryption and Identity Verification - The IETF standards that Zero Trust End to End Encryption and Identity uses - Secure Frame (S-Frame)/ Message Layer Security (MLS)/ Automatic - - Certificate Management Environment (ACME) - Supported Webex Apps and Devices - Call and data flows - Customer requirements and options Learn more: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/collaboration/white-paper-c11-744553.html?dtid=opdcsnc001469 Follow us: twitter.com/ciscochampion Cisco Champion Hosts: Ahmad Taamneh (twitter.com/abo_azez9), JBS, Technical and Presales Supervisor Sebastian Leuser (twitter.com/sleuser), Deutsche Telekom Business Solutions GmbH, System Engineer Sijbren Beukenkamp (twitter.com/sijbrenb), 3Corners, UC Cloud Architect Guest: Tony Mulchrone, Cisco, Technical Marketing Engineer, Cloud Collaboration Moderator: Amilee San Juan (twitter.com/amileesan1), Cisco, Technical Influencer Marketing and Cisco Champion Program

How do you know for certain that a router in your network has not been altered with since you deployed it? Wouldn’t it be great if you can cryptographically challenge your router to provide its unique identity? In addition to this, what if the underlying OS provides a secure mechanism to detect if the software has been tampered with during boot time and runtime? Tune in to this podcast to understand the aspects of establishing trust and the security features incorporated in both hardware and software to ensure the trustworthiness of IOS-XR platforms.
