Cisco Access Manager identity-based network security dashboard

Cisco Access Manager

Identity fused into your network for zero-trust security

Make identity a native attribute of your network infrastructure—delivering zero-trust security without the appliances, complexity, or overhead of traditional access control.

Deploy easily, segment effectively, secure comprehensively

Transform your network with identity-based security that simplifies operations, reduces hardware complexity, and delivers enterprise-grade zero-trust protection across your campus.

Embed identity into your network

Delivered as software as a service (SaaS) and integrated with the Meraki Dashboard, identity-based access is enforced seamlessly across your existing Meraki network.

Segment and protect everything

Identity-driven segmentation protects users, devices, and things across all supported infrastructure—enforced natively at every point, eliminating bottlenecks and delivering adaptive zero-trust protection.

Extend zero trust from campus to cloud

Meraki Dashboard brings together campus identity, cloud security, and context visibility with Cisco Access Manager, Cisco Secure Access, and Cisco XDR, providing continuous, adaptive zero-trust protection across your network.

Identity that travels with every connection

Fueled by Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and cloud-native architecture optimized for Meraki, watch how Access Manager provides identity-based segmentation using Security Group Tags (SGT) that travel with users, devices, and things. 

This architecture enables granular, adaptive zero-trust micro-segmentation across the network. The same straightforward setup you rely on for Meraki switches and access points now extends to identity-ensuring consistent visibility, protection, and performance across every branch.
