Automate your network to simplify everything.
Ensuring that each device is configured correctly and has the approved software image is one of the challenges that Cisco Catalyst Center automation helps you tackle. Cisco Catalyst Center interprets organizational and business intent policies and translates these policies into configurations for individual network devices. Automation helps eliminate errors and make the network more agile because changes can be made rapidly.

Assure network performance with quick issue resolution.
Your network operators are called upon to optimize network performance and meet user expectations. In a large network, this verification can be difficult. For intermittent problems, troubleshooting might be impossible. Cisco DNA Assurance collects telemetry data from clients and network devices, correlates and analyzes the data, pinpoints problem areas, and suggests corrective actions. It also features advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning to accurately identify issues that have the greatest impact on your network.
The basic building blocks needed:
The software needed to take full advantage of Cisco DNA Assurance:
- Cisco DNA Advantage/Premier: Collect device telemetry and analyze it to spot potential issues and suggest remediation through Cisco AI Network Analytics.

Automate one policy across the entire access network.
The number of users and devices that you need to keep connected—and secured—just keeps growing. And to make it more complicated, each user has different needs and different access requirements. Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) segments the network into groups of users with similar needs and roles, and enforces separation between the groups.
The basic building blocks needed:
The software needed to take full advantage of Cisco SD-Access:
- Cisco DNA Advantage: Enable SD-Access; a separate license is required for Cisco ISE.
- Cisco ISE Base or Plus: Enable segmented user authentication and onboarding.
- Cisco Stealthwatch: Enable Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) on ETA-capable hardware.
- Cisco DNA Premier: Combine Cisco DNA Advantage, Cisco ISE Base and Plus, and Cisco Stealthwatch software into one convenient license for all use cases.

Integrate security to gain visibility and reduce risk.
Your users aren’t just in the office anymore, so neither are your security threats. With workloads moving to the cloud, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices becoming more ubiquitous, you need security everywhere. Recognizing that threats are not just from the outside, enterprises networks must step up to these challenges. Cisco DNA security provides full visibility, reduces the attack surface, accelerates incident response, and stops breaches before they can spread.
