Identity-Based Access Without the NAC Complexity

Every network needs to secure the devices that connect to it, but for many organisations Cisco ISE is more than they need. Cisco Access Manager is the answer for Meraki customers: cloud-native network access control built into the Meraki dashboard.

No appliances, no separate management platform and no NAC specialists required. Identity, policy and enforcement are all handled inside the Meraki ecosystem, at the right price for your business.

Key Capabilities

Why Cisco Access Manager

Identity, Not Location
