SD-Access
Secure and protect your data and resources
The Logicalis SD-Access solution, a component of the Intelligent Connectivity suite, offers a managed service that ensures zero-trust security within your workplace.
This comprehensive solution guarantees secure access for all users, devices, and locations across your applications and digital environment. Creating a resilient network that provides enhanced security measures to safeguard your organisation's people, data and resources.
Why SD-Access?
Through its comprehensive suite of features and capabilities, SD-Access provides organisations with robust security measures that adapt to evolving threats in real-time without sacrificing user experience or operational efficiency.
Advanced analytics powered by AI and machine learning
SD-Access leverages advanced analytics powered by AI and machine learning to identify, profile, and categorise endpoints. By analysing traffic patterns between groups, it establishes access policies that are effective in segmenting the network, ensuring a zero-trust security model.
Continuously monitoring endpoint behavior
SD-Access scrutinises how devices interact with the network, scans for vulnerabilities, and verifies their trustworthiness before granting access privileges. This proactive approach enhances overall security by quickly identifying potential threats.
Super quick response
In the event of a threat or breach attempt, SD-Access swiftly contains the issue to minimise its impact on the network infrastructure and prevent data breaches.

SD-Access Components
Centralised control system
SD-Access simplifies networking with a central control system called Cisco DNA Center. It manages network elements, reducing complexity and errors. Key features are centralised management, configuration automation, and advanced analytics.
Policy enforcement
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), authenticates and authorises endpoints based on security policies. It grants network access according to roles or functions, configuring network devices as endpoints connect.
Network Fabric
The network fabric uses virtual overlays for mobility, segmentation, and programmability. It also provides intelligent services for application recognition, traffic analytics, prioritisation, and performance.
Programmable infrastructure
Cisco is improving its devices to build a flexible and modern infrastructure. This includes features like automated device setup, an open API interface, detailed visibility, and seamless software updates, supporting SD-Access for wired and wireless networking.
