Cisco Secure Networking - Cisco Self-Defending Networks

Cisco offers integrated security solutions that are aligned with the security needs for SMBs. These scalable, flexible security systems uniquely allow security services to be embedded in the foundation of the network and dramatically reduce operational costs, while increasing the protection of business infrastructure investments.

Cisco believes in securing your business as a system, not a standalone product, and security is achieved through providing layers of protection. For example, your business servers can be a target for attackers. For the most effective protection from attackers, a layered defense is needed. Used together, Cisco and Microsoft security solutions can deliver your business an effective, layered security system.

Closing a Deal

We support both Cisco channel partners and Microsoft channel partners who already have a specific sales opportunity but require collaboration with another Microsoft and/or Cisco channel partner to help close a deal with a customer. We also support joint Cisco and Microsoft channel partners who already have a specific sales opportunity, but require another Cisco or Microsoft channel partner with whom they can collaborate to close the deal.

Please review the online materials. Upon completing the online form with your contact information and details outlining your sales opportunity, a regional business development manager will review your online submittal, and depending upon the value and immediacy of the deal, the manager may contact you to introduce you to another partner.
