Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are always looking for ways to make their jobs easier while keeping their clients safe. Cisco Secure Connect is a great solution for this. It’s like a one-stop shop for secure internet access, and it makes it super easy to manage lots of different clients at once. If you're an MSP, you should definitely check out Cisco Secure Connect to see how it can help your business.
What is Cisco Secure Connect?
Cisco Secure Connect is a tool that lets you access applications and data from anywhere, anytime, and keep it secure. It's built on the trusted Meraki platform, which combines networking and security into one easy-to-use system. This makes it much easier to manage complex multi-cloud setups.
Why Should MSPs Care?
Cisco Secure Connect is basically the same as the old Meraki MSP portal, but it's got a new look and feel. It's designed to make things easier for IT service providers. It's faster and easier to set up and manage your network connections, all from one central dashboard. This means you can work faster and more efficiently.
Cisco Secure Connect MSP Architecture
The Global Overview Page is like a control panel for managing all your customers' networks. You can see everything at a glance, from licensing and inventory to user information. It's like having multiple network dashboards in one place, but each customer's data is kept separate. You can customize the page to show exactly what you need, and you can view information by organization, network, or even by specific tags you've added.
