The case study describes how Cisco IT implemented a global Zero Trust security architecture using Cisco Secure Access to protect a highly distributed workforce of more than 123,000 employees across 80+ countries. Cisco replaced a complex legacy security system with a cloud-delivered platform aligned with Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) principles, enabling consistent policy enforcement, least-privilege access, and secure connectivity from any location. The phased rollout included migrating the workforce to VPN-as-a-Service, expanding Zero Trust Network Access, and improving visibility into AI tool usage. The new platform centralized security telemetry, simplified policies, and improved operational efficiency, reducing troubleshooting time by up to 25% while accelerating network expansion and strengthening security governance across devices, users, and applications.
