Cisco+ Secure Connect—SASE as-a service for any device, any application, any location

"With Umbrella’s Powerful Security comes Meraki's Great Simplicity"

The integration between Meraki SD-WAN and ThousandEyes bringing Internet Insights to the Meraki platform   

Your business needs the right solutions to adapt your networks to the new hybrid work paradigm while maintaining security and reliability. SASE enables the convergence of networking and security in the cloud to deliver secure access to applications, anywhere users work.

That’s why Meraki is announcing the general availability (GA) of the Meraki Umbrella SD-WAN connector, which integrates the Meraki MX security and SD-WAN appliance with Cisco Umbrella to enable rapid deployment of cloud security across your SD-WAN network.

I'm excited to announce that RCA for Web App health is now GA.🎉

This feature looks at 6 key triggers and informs the customers on:

• Root cause of the issue
• The alert generated stating the app problem
• The confidence in the root cause
• The evidence that triggered the alert
• Impact on clients
• Recommended next steps

Meraki Insight is launching Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for Web App Health in Public Beta. This feature will help answer the following questions:

We are proud to announce our new private cloud vMX solution on Cisco's Enterprise NFV Infrastructure Software (NFVIS) platform! 

We are proud to announce four new MX models to our portfolio!

With the MX16 firmware release, NBAR will be available for full-stack enablement! 🚀

MX Security & SD-WAN Appliances running MX16.X firmware can now support AnyConnect Client VPN.

Meraki Insight will now have alerts configurable for WAN and VoIP by navigating to the Insight → Configure → Alerts tab

The alerts management landing page will give a quick overview of alerts being managed and the status of each alert.

Easily exclude business-critical applications from Meraki Auto VPN tunnels for direct Internet access.

Network Objects can be enabled by navigating to Organization > Network Objects. After reviewing the informational page, please click on 'Start Beta' to begin.

Monitoring business-critical web applications just became even easier with Meraki. Simply select the application(s) you want to track and toggle on Smart Thresholds. No thresholds need to be set at all – Smart Thresholds will use machine learning to automatically adjust thresholds for web applications based on the past behavioral patterns and performance for that application and the network it’s been running on.

Exclude traffic based on IP address from Meraki Auto VPN tunnels for direct Internet access.

Three change have been added to the dashboard for helping to troubleshoot, configure and keep track of users with Client VPN.

• On the Network-wide > Clients page, the search filter can now filter for Client VPN users
• The Client VPN page now has an FAQs tab with common troubleshooting issues and recommendations, as well as links to additional help.
• The Client VPN page now has descriptions of the configuration components, as well as link to additional information.

New capabilities and visibility are now available to the Meraki dashboard to help simplify troubleshooting. Users can now pinpoint issues more quickly, and ensure excellent connectivity for clients. These updates are designed to not only provide insights about the health of Wi-Fi clients, but also to provide end-to-end visibility. Enhanced visibility will now allow for immediate identification of whether wireless is problematic, or if, for example, an upstream device is misconfigured.
