Ordr Integrates With Cisco’s Flagship Catalyst 9000 Series Switches To Simplify Deployments and Accelerate Cisco ISE and SDA Initiatives

Ordr Expands Device Visibility and Zero Trust Segmentation Across All Environments with Cisco Catalyst 9000 Integration and Availability On Meraki Marketplace

Ordr, the leader in connected device security, announced the availability of the Ordr Sensor as a hosted application on the Cisco Catalyst 9000 series switches. The company’s latest integration with Cisco extends seamless visibility, comprehensive insights and security for connected devices in every environment – including data center, campus, and branch offices. Ordr and Cisco have a deep and long standing partnership, in which Ordr provides deep visibility and context that enables customers to leverage the full power of Cisco’s infrastructure – including Cisco Meraki, Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), Cisco Software-Defined Access (SDA) and Cisco Trustsec – to secure their IT, IoT (Internet of Things), OT (Operational Technology) and IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) devices.

“You cannot secure the modern enterprise without understanding what devices are connected to your network, what they are doing, and what vulnerabilities they have,” said Pandian Gnanaprakasam, Chief Product Officer and co-founder of Ordr. “It has been operationally challenging for some organizations to gain this level of visibility for all devices, in all locations. Now, in any environment with Cisco Catalyst 9000 series switches, Ordr enables IT organizations to immediately see and secure all these devices.”

Ordr makes it easy to keep the connected enterprise secure by showing customers exactly what devices are in their environment, the systems they communicate with, and the risks they bring, while providing automated policies to secure them. Ordr not only identifies devices with vulnerabilities, weak ciphers, expired certificates, and active threats, but also uses machine learning to continuously baseline normal behavior. The combination of device and risk insights, behavioral analysis, and automated policy creation accelerates Cisco ISE and SDA deployments.

“Embedding Ordr within the Cisco Catalyst 9000 allows customers to discover and secure connected devices in locations where it is not possible or not practical to deploy a hardware sensor, such as a branch office or other remote location. This, combined with Ordr’s strengths in accelerating Cisco ISE and SDA deployments, will streamline Zero Trust security for every organization,” said Chris Kuhl CTO and CISO, Dayton Children’s Hospital.

“The explosive growth of connected devices means companies are more invested than ever in visibility and security solutions,” added Rob Parsons, Director, Network and Security Practice/Portfolio at Insight. “Remote offices are often underserved by security because they lack integration with core security tools. Ordr’s connected device security platform and Cisco’s industry-leading switching products combine to create a powerful value proposition for our clients. The results are simplified deployments, comprehensive visibility across every office, and accelerated Zero Trust and Cisco ISE initiatives.”

With this integration, even in smaller office locations, enterprises gain comprehensive visibility into connected assets, risks, network connectivity, device behavior, and utilization, as well as the ability to apply segmentation to the network edge.

Key Ordr and Cisco Catalyst 9000 Integration Benefits

• Secure More Devices: Extend Ordr to secure connected devices in data center, campus, branch office, or other remote locations.
• Quick Deployment: The Ordr sensor is deployed in a matter of minutes as a pre-packaged Docker container application hosted on any Cisco Catalyst 9000 switch, and can be easily deployed to hundreds of switches from the Cisco DNA Center.
• Reduced Footprint and Cost: By leveraging existing Cisco Catalyst 9000 switches as distributed Ordr sensors, the deployment footprint and costs are reduced.
• No Performance Impact: Ordr takes advantage of Cisco Catalyst 9000’s dedicated application hosting compute, storage, and memory – so there’s no impact to switch performance.
