  • Dedicated Security Radio - Instantly detects interference, vulnerabilities, and attacks on all channels.
  • Identity – Based Firewall - Automatically assigns firewall and traffic shaping rules, VLAN tags, and bandwidth limits to enforce the right policies for each class of users.

Why Security & SD-WAN?

Security & SD-WAN enables a credit union to have centrally managed network security, SD-WAN and application control.

  • Centralized Management – Seamlessly manage branch-wide WiFi deployments and distributed multi-site networks from a single pane-of-glass.
  • Intrusion Prevention - Protects critical network resources from the latest security threats and vulnerabilities
  • Auto VPN - Securely connects branch locations using mesh or hub-and-spoke topologies. Provides simple VPN access into Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
  • Application Visibility and Control - Identify which applications are being used, and then prioritize critical apps while limiting recreational apps.
  • Content Filtering - Block undesirable web content across 70+ categories, and leverage cloud lookups to filter billions of URLs.
  • Advanced Malware Protection - Protect your network against malware using the latest threat intelligence, and identify previously unknown malicious files with retrospective detection.
  • High Availability Failover - Provides device and connection integrity through multiple uplinks, warm spare failover, and self-healing VPN.
  • Identity – Based Firewall - Automatically assigns firewall and traffic shaping rules, VLAN tags, and bandwidth limits to enforce the right policies for each class of users.

Why Switching?

Switching provides a credit union with a simplified switch port management system and remote troubleshooting ability.

  • Virtual Stacking – Simultaneously configure thousands of ports across standalone and physically stacked switches, regardless of location.
  • Layer 7 Visibility - Meraki switches make it easy to understand how valuable network resources are being used.
  • Layer 3 Scalability - Build large, resilient networks using dynamic routing protocols and warm spare technology.
  • Voice & Video QoS – Give latency sensitive applications the priority and bandwidth they deserve with configurable QoS.
  • Network Topology - View the network in real-time, showing devices and their connections and even monitor network-wide health.
  • Multigigabit Ethernet - Provide the higher performance demanded by the latest access points over existing cabling.
  • Remote Live Tools - Powerful tools for identifying and correcting issues, even from thousands of miles away
  • Enterprise Security – Protect the wired network from both external and internal threats

Why Endpoint Management?

Endpoint Management is centralized device management, deployment and provisioning.

  • Centralized Cloud Management – The Meraki dashboard enables secure monitoring and management of all of your mobile devices from anywhere in the world.
  • Network Settings Deployment - Define and deploy network settings such as wireless connectivity, security, and remote VPN access to all your managed devices at once.
  • Device Location - Find lost or stolen devices with integrated real-time location data via GPS, WiFi, or IP address. Define geofence areas and automatically apply or remove settings based on location.
  • App Deployment - Easy deployment and maintenance of free, paid, or Enterprise mobile apps. For Macs and PCs, deploy MSI and PKG files right from the dashboard.
  • Remote Troubleshooting - Automatically monitor devices 24×7 via the cloud. Start remote desktop, take a screenshot, and reboot or shutdown Macs and PCs.
  • Device & Data Restrictions - Protect devices and their data, control their usage with fine-grained policies, and restrict access to features such as the app store, gaming, and content.
  • Rapid Provisioning - Download the app from the Apple or Google App Stores to enroll a device, or streamline adoption by using Systems Manager Sentry to ensure mobile devices are enrolled in MDM before joining your wireless network.
  • Network Integration - Tie Systems Manager polices to your wireless, switch, and security appliance networks. Use Systems Manager certificates to securely connect users to WiFi.
