What a week at Cisco Live!

We spent the week meeting with customers, collaborating with Cisco teams, exploring new technologies, and discussing how organizations can prepare for the AI era.

The announcements around AI, security, networking, and operational simplicity were exciting, and we're looking forward to helping our customers take advantage of what's coming next.

A big thank you to Cisco and everyone who spent time with us in Las Vegas.

We can't wait to put these new innovations into action!

If you are running Cisco Secure Access and using Zero Trust Access, there is one setting that can quietly impact both performance and security.

Trusted Network Detection.

It determines when your ZTA client should stay active and when it should step aside. Get it right and you improve performance and avoid unnecessary traffic inspection. Get it wrong and you risk double inspection, added latency, or reduced enforcement.

Our latest blog breaks down what Trusted Network Detection actually does, how it works, and when it makes sense to use it in your environment.

If you have ever wondered whether to turn it on or leave it alone, this is worth a read.

Great day out at Field Day with the Northern California Cisco teams.

Nothing better than a little friendly competition, teamwork, and time together outside the office. We appreciate the partnership and always enjoy opportunities to connect, collaborate, and have some fun along the way.

Looking forward to the next one!

Cisco just closed a major gap in network management.

You can now manage Catalyst 9500 switches directly in the Meraki dashboard using StackWise Virtual.

That means one unified platform for access and core switching. No more splitting management between CLI and cloud.

In this blog, we break down what changed, how it works, and what to watch out for when converting and configuring SVL.

Chrome is about to change how certificates work and it is going to impact Cisco Collaboration environments in a big way.

If you are running CUCM, Expressway, or any on premises collaboration stack, the way you have handled certificates for years may no longer work.

From eliminating dual use certificates to shrinking certificate lifetimes, these updates are forcing a major shift in how trust is managed across enterprise environments.

In our latest blog, we break down what is changing, why it matters, and what Cisco admins need to do now to stay ahead of it.

Read the blog and make sure your environment is ready before these changes hit.

Most Cisco networks already have powerful tools in place.
They’re just not fully being used.

If you’re running both Cisco Catalyst Center and the Cisco Meraki Dashboard, the challenge isn’t the technology. It’s knowing what each should actually do.

In our latest blog, we break down:
• Where each platform fits
• What most teams are underutilizing
• How to simplify your operational model

If your dashboards aren’t delivering value, this is worth a read.
