The Cisco Smart Business Roadmap

The Cisco® Smart Business Roadmap enables small and medium-sized businesses to align their technology plans with their business priorities through a two-phased approach.

The Cisco Self-Defending Network

The Cisco Self-Defending Network is the Cisco long-term strategy to secure business processes by identifying, preventing, and adapting to both internal and external threats. With Cisco, businesses can protect not only their networks, but also their network investments. The results are improved business processes and substantial savings.

The Cisco Secure Network Foundation

The Cisco Secure Network Foundation allows small and medium-sized businesses to focus on profitability, rather than the network. It delivers consistent, secure services to all users - wired or wireless. Security services are integrated into Cisco routers, switches, and security appliances, helping small and medium-sized businesses to streamline operations and reduce costs. Businesses can continue to operate, even while threatened, and can meet both customer and legal requirements for data security and privacy.
