Integrated security is there by default with segmented products. From the L2 switch and the L3 switch, depending on the segment product, they have inbuilt security. They integrate with their security products, not on the networking product. They have a common platform to integrate the network and security products together. For example, Cisco Meraki has a single platform to manage network and security products. They have NAC solutions, such as Cisco ICE (Identity Service Engine), which is a network access control system that controls complete user and device presence in the network. That is where they have multiple security integration compatibilities within the Cisco product. For external security product integration, if customers use wired and wireless products in Cisco but want to integrate a NAC solution with vendors such as HP Aruba, Juniper, Extreme, or FortiNAC, they have cross-integrated platforms available. If they have an end-to-end same product portfolio, they have 100% visibility on the asset. With cross-platforms, there are some deviations in monitoring. They do not have 100% visibility when using multi-product, multi-platform products in the same corporate environment.
