IT teams are under more pressure than ever before to keep their organizations secure, reduce operational costs, and make things simpler to manage.

But it's not easy when:

Applications extend across multiple clouds

Workforces and workspaces are hyper-distributed under hybrid work models

IT teams must rely on a patchwork of point solutions from many vendors

of IT teams say that remote workers are harder to secure.

of organizations are having problems connecting workers to company resources

of IT leaders agree or strongly agree that managing a multi-vendor networking and security stack is too complex.

Keep every user secure and connected, in every cloud, with Cisco
