How ORDR and Cisco help organizations discover every connected device, reduce IoT and OT security risks, and enforce Zero Trust segmentation.
Organizations rely on an ever-growing number of connected devices – from IT systems, Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to operational technology (OT) – to run their operations. Securing these devices has historically required multiple tools with fragmented procurement, and complex integrations.
Cisco SolutionsPlus changes this dynamic.
Cisco SolutionsPlus is a curated program of Cisco-validated partner solutions that integrate with Cisco platforms, are tested for interoperability, sold through Cisco’s sales channels, and listed on Cisco’s Global Price List (GPL).
ORDR is now part of the Cisco SolutionsPlus Program.
Organizations can now seamlessly add ORDR’s device intelligence and security capabilities to their Cisco environment using the same Cisco purchasing channels they use for their switches, ISE or any other Cisco product.
The result is simple: less friction, faster adoption, and lower risk when securing connected devices across the network. And once deployed, ORDR and Cisco work together to turn device intelligence into real-time enforcement across the network.

A Partnership Built on Real-World Outcomes
ORDR and Cisco have a long history of helping organizations gain control of the devices operating across their networks in industries including healthcare, transportation, retail, manufacturing, and financial services.
ORDR provides the device intelligence layer, discovering and understanding every connected device, while Cisco provides the network infrastructure that enables security teams to enforce policy.
By combining device intelligence with network enforcement, organizations can move faster from identifying risk to reducing it while maximizing the value of their existing Cisco infrastructure.
“Seeing risk isn’t the same as containing it. By combining ORDR’s deep device intelligence with Cisco’s powerful network infrastructure, organizations can move from visibility to enforcement—turning insights into action across the network.”
— Pandian Gnanaprakasam, Co-founder and CEO, ORDR
The Challenge: Visibility Alone Doesn’t Reduce Risk
Many organizations have invested in asset discovery and visibility tools. While these tools help teams understand what is connected to the network, visibility alone does not reduce risk.
Security teams frequently discover previously unknown devices, identify vulnerabilities or risky behavior, and receive alerts or recommendations. But turning those insights into protection often requires manual investigation, policy creation, and coordination across multiple teams.
In other words, seeing risk is not the same as containing it. Organizations need a way to connect device intelligence with network enforcement.
Turning Device Intelligence into Enforcement
The joint ORDR and Cisco solution bridges this gap.
ORDR’s platform passively analyzes network traffic to discover and classify every connected device (IT, IoT, OT, and other unmanaged assets) while building context about device behavior, vulnerabilities, and operational roles.
That intelligence feeds Cisco’s network and security infrastructure, enabling teams to enforce policies through platforms such as Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), network switches, wireless infrastructure, and firewalls.
The result is a closed-loop approach that connects device intelligence with enforcement, allowing organizations to isolate threats, segment devices safely, and reduce risk across the network—without relying on slow manual processes.
Making Segmentation Practical
Network segmentation is one of the most effective ways to reduce cyber risk, yet many organizations struggle to implement it at scale.
Devices move across networks, communicate with multiple systems, and often rely on specialized protocols. Without understanding how devices behave and what systems they depend on, segmentation policies can be difficult and risky to implement.
ORDR addresses this challenge by providing detailed device context and behavioral baselining, allowing organizations to generate segmentation policies aligned with real-world device behavior.
Cisco infrastructure then enforces those policies across the network, enabling precise containment of threats while maintaining operational continuity. Together, ORDR and Cisco help organizations move toward Zero Trust architectures.
Proven Results Across Industries
ORDR and Cisco have helped organizations across industries translate device intelligence into real security outcomes.
Dayton Children’s Hospital used ORDR and Cisco to operationalize Zero Trust segmentation across approximately 25,000 connected devices, including critical medical systems. When a ransomware incident occurred, the team was able to identify and contain the threat in under five minutes, isolating affected systems before patient care was impacted.
A well-known retailer gained full visibility into its connected retail infrastructure, including point-of-sale systems and other IoT assets, allowing its security team to identify risks faster and strengthen segmentation policies across stores.
An established airlines used ORDR to discover and secure more than 30,000 IoT and OT devices across 16 airports, from baggage systems to passenger kiosks, helping accelerate its Zero Trust strategy while protecting critical operational systems.
Simplifying Procurement with Cisco SolutionsPlus
With ORDR now available through Cisco SolutionsPlus and listed on Cisco’s Global Price List (GPL), customers can procure and deploy the solution through existing Cisco channels accelerating time to value while reducing operational complexity.
Security That Moves at the Speed of Your Network
As networks continue to expand with connected devices, organizations need a security approach that connects visibility with action.
Together, ORDR and Cisco help organizations:
- Discover every connected device
- Understand risk through deep device intelligence
- Enforce protection automatically across the network
With ORDR now available through Cisco SolutionsPlus, it’s easier than ever to deploy this integrated approach and strengthen security posture.
Because today, security isn’t just about seeing what’s happening on the network.
It’s about turning device intelligence into action.
