Customer Challenges We Solve

Asset Intelligence

Cisco customers need trusted, continuously verified asset intelligence across IT, IoT, and IoMT—so CMDB/CMMS records stay accurate and Cisco enforcement platforms get the right inputs.

Action

Cisco customers need to turn trusted intelligence into safe, consistent enforcement across the network—without manual policy rework, disruption, or brittle rules that don’t scale.

Orchestration

Cisco customers need AI solutions that help them move faster with fewer resources—turning insight into action. AI Orchestration reduces manual effort, lowers operational cost, and scales security outcomes without scaling resources.

Frequently asked questions
How can we implement Zero Trust segmentation across IoT and OT networks without manual overhead?
ORDR's AI-driven asset intelligence automatically discovers and classifies connected devices across IT, IoT, and OT environments, enabling policy orchestration without manual configuration. Combined with Cisco's Network Access Control, this accelerates Zero Trust implementation by removing visibility gaps that typically require extensive manual segmentation work.
What are the main challenges with Network Access Control deployment in hybrid IT/OT environments?
NAC deployment traditionally fails in hybrid environments due to blind spots caused by unmanaged IoT/OT devices and lack of asset context. ORDR solves this by providing real-time asset intelligence that feeds directly into NAC policies, enabling automated enforcement across all device types simultaneously rather than IT-only networks.
Can we automate security policy updates across thousands of connected devices?
Yes—ORDR's integration with Cisco enables automatic policy orchestration across hybrid device ecosystems by leveraging AI-driven asset profiling. This eliminates manual policy updates and reduces the security overhead of managing IoT/OT devices within Zero Trust frameworks.
