ORDR and Cisco Deliver Agentic Zero Trust Segmentation at Enterprise Scale - Now available for purchase through Cisco SolutionsPlus
ORDR protects mission-critical devices by combining identity-aware intelligence with Cisco-native enforcement.
Security teams have spent years talking about Zero Trust. The challenge has never been the vision. The challenge has been operationalizing it at enterprise scale across the systems organizations already depend on every day.
That is what makes the milestone ORDR’s availability through the Cisco SolutionsPlus Program and listed on the Cisco Global Price List so important.
Joint customers can now buy, deploy, and operationalize ORDR through the same Cisco channels they already use for network infrastructure and security solutions including ISE, no parallel procurement, no integration guesswork. Customers can now purchase, deploy, and operationalize ORDR through the same Cisco channels they already use for network infrastructure and security solutions, including Cisco ISE.
This is more than a procurement milestone. It represents the continued evolution of a partnership focused on solving one of the hardest problems in enterprise security: how to bring identity-aware Zero Trust enforcement to the operational environments that power modern business.
ORDR’s security and segmentation platform protects mission-critical devices by turning Cisco infrastructure into a real-time Zero Trust enforcement plane.
Together, ORDR and Cisco help organizations unify user identity, device intelligence, segmentation policy, and network enforcement into a single operational architecture. Instead of treating visibility, access control, and enforcement as disconnected systems, customers can now operationalize them as one coordinated security fabric across the infrastructure they already own.
That architecture is already deployed across some of the world’s largest and most regulated environments, including healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, financial services, and government.
Our joint integrations span the Cisco security and networking portfolio, including:
- identity-aware segmentation and auto-generated SGACLs through Cisco ISE, TrustSec, and SDA;
- advanced packet decoders integrated into Cisco Catalyst 9000;
- agentless Zero Trust enforcement on Meraki and Meraki Access Manager;
- context flowing into Cisco Secure Firewall, XDR, and Splunk;
- participation in Cisco Agent Studio and the AGNTCY open-source project via an open MCP server.
Beyond Cisco, ORDR integrates with more than 230 enterprise systems, including Active Directory, Microsoft Entra, and Okta, allowing organizations to unify identity and device intelligence across their broader operational ecosystem.
Most importantly, customers can achieve this without redesigning their networks or deploying additional infrastructure.
ORDR operates as a software overlay on top of the Cisco infrastructure enterprises already own. There are no additional firewalls to insert, no traffic to backhaul through cloud proxies, and no need to rebuild operational environments to achieve Zero Trust outcomes. ORDR supports more than 3,000 models of switches, access points, wireless controllers, and firewalls, enabling organizations to enforce least-privilege access directly through existing Cisco infrastructure.
That elesimplicity matters.
ORDR is already powering some of the most regulated environments in the world, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and state and local government, providing proactive protection for the agentless devices that make those industries run. We do it using network telemetry and network-driven enforcement: a pure software overlay on the Cisco infrastructure customers already own. No additional firewalls to insert, no hair pinning traffic to a cloud proxy. ORDR supports 3,000+ models of switches, access points, wireless controllers, and firewalls, and enforces through cisco NAC solutions like ISE and Meraki Access Manager, delivering Zero Trust least-privilege access on the gear already in place. SolutionsPlus is what brings this to the Cisco install base at scale: Cisco-validated, pre-integrated, and available inside the same Cisco quotes and enterprise agreements you’re already negotiating.
ORDR capabilities: 8 years of AI leadership, now consumable for every enterprise user
ORDR has been at the forefront of applied AI in security for years. ORDR uses AI on the algorithmic plane to classify every connected device from full packet capture behavior (a 10M+ device fingerprint library) to baseline flow analytics across millions of flows per device, to surface vulnerabilities and threats, and to auto-generate segmentation and policy recommendations. That AI work has quietly powered some of the largest Zero Trust deployments in healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and finance.
With ORDR IQ, we now bring that AI to the forefront. A natural-language interface sits over the same intelligence engine fused with identity context from Active Directory, Cisco ISE and Access manager, and your IdP, so a security analyst, a network engineer, or an IT operations lead can simply ask, in plain natural Language and get answers, policies, and enforcement actions back in seconds:
"For all users belonging to the Job Title ‘IT Engineer’ in AD, generate Zero Trust SGACL to deny access to ImagingDevices."
That single sentence joins three worlds that used to live in three different consoles: an AD attribute (Job Title = IT Engineer), an ORDR device class (ImagingDevices, derived from deep packet classification), and a Cisco enforcement primitive (an SGACL pushed through ISE / SDA). ORDR IQ resolves all three, generates the policy, and with the right approval, enforces it live. AI makes data democratic. The same identity-and-device truth that used to be locked behind dashboards and query languages is now accessible to everyone through AI based natural language. This means roughly ten times the number of users a conventional UI could use the product. ORDR has transformed itself into a complete AI front-end and analytics platform.
The outcomes speak for themselves. A major U.S. airline uses ORDR and Cisco to enforce luggage-handling system policies across hundreds of firewalls — protecting the systems that move millions of bags a day, and tightly scoping which operator and engineering identities can reach them. A large children’s hospital operationalized Zero Trust across roughly 25,000 connected devices — binding clinical roles to medical-device groups — and contained a ransomware incident in under five minutes. A highly regulated retail bank hardened segmentation across every branch, including ATMs and back-of-house IoT, with role-based access for branch staff and vendors. Different industries, same pattern: identity-centric device intelligence plus Cisco enforcement turns Zero Trust from a roadmap into a daily operating reality.
