Cisco Meraki

By integrating Cisco Meraki with ThreatDefence via the Meraki Dashboard APIs, you can stream network, device, and security events directly into ThreatDefence for comprehensive visibility and centralized incident management.

This integration enables ThreatDefence to monitor activity across Meraki-managed devices—including firewalls, switches, wireless access points, and endpoints—allowing correlation with other security data to detect threats, enforce policies, and accelerate response.
