Cisco Champion Radio: S8|E2 Meraki IoT: Insight for Better Decision Making  Listen to the episode.  Data helps businesses make sound decisions, and Meraki MV smart cameras have made it easy for organizations of any size to derive additional value from their smart camera deployments. But as powerful as these cameras are, with machine learning technologies and rich analytics, there are simply some physical attributes - like temperature or humidity - that cannot be easily determined by the camera. Lack of visibility can lead to a variety of issues, including premature equipment failure, and network downtime that can lead to costly outages.   Enter Meraki MT sensors. With a unique, simple, and scalable architecture, these new sensors provide organizations with useful information to help them better understand their physical environment. Together, with the visual insight from Meraki cameras, organizations have the information they need to make better decisions, react to events faster, and or take proactive action before an issue arises.   Tune in to hear from Cisco experts and Cisco Champions as they discuss Meraki MV cameras and the new MT sensors, how simple they are to deploy, and how organizations can leverage them not just for monitoring and security, but gain additional value through their intelligent insights.   Cisco Champion Hosts: Gert-Jan de Boer (twitter.com/gjdeboer), aaZoo, Networking and Security Specialist Paul Campbell (twitter.com/paulmc3), Quaversal, CEO and Founder Robinson Roca (twitter.com/robinson_roca), Helient Systems, Practice Lead, Infrastructure Services   Guest: @GeorgeB (twitter.com/meraki_se), Cisco, Director, Meraki Product Management   Moderator: Amilee San Juan (twitter.com/amileesan1), Cisco, Technical Influencer Marketing and Cisco Champion Program ...

Listen to the episode.  Configuring and maintaining access policies in a network is a challenge. In our increasingly complex and dynamic networks, IP policies are not meeting the needs of many administrators. Access policies need to evolve from static IP based to intent based. Creating policy should be as simple as defining intent, “who” needs to access “what” regardless of where they connect in the network. With that idea as a backdrop, Meraki is introducing Adaptive Policy, an easy to configure, simple to maintain, scalable policy powered by Secure Group Tags (SGTs). Listen in as Cisco Champions and Cisco experts discuss Adaptive Policy and how it lets businesses create intent based policy for users, services and devices based on who you are, not where you connect in the network.   Cisco Champion Hosts: Meredith Rose (twitter.com/mer3dithrose), WWT, Senior Consulting Systems Engineer Aaron Weiler (twitter.com/aaronengineered), Comcast, Sales Engineer Guests: Rob Watt, Cisco, Product Manager Alex Burger (twitter.com/aaburger85), Cisco, Technical Marketing Engineer   Moderator:   Amilee San Juan (twitter.com/amileesan1), Cisco, Technical Influencer Marketing and Cisco Champion Program ...
