LONDON – Logicalis, a global technology service provider, has achieved Cisco’s Secure Networking Specialisation, recognising its expertise across networking, security and managed services. The designation validates Logicalis’ ability to design, implement and manage secure environments that bring connectivity and security together
The specialisation has been achieved by Logicalis businesses in five countries initially, with a commitment to double that within six months. This gives Logicalis customers access to validated Cisco expertise through a global delivery model, while retaining support suited to local market requirements.
Supporting more secure and resilient operations
As organisations move from the IT era to the AI era, networks must carry more business-critical traffic and support a broader range of users, devices and workloads. At the same time, security teams need clearer visibility and stronger policy control across increasingly distributed environments.
Logicalis and Cisco are evolving their Secure Networking managed services for the AI era. Built on Cisco Cloud Control and enhanced by Cisco IQ (in regions where these offerings are available), as well as Cisco Data Fabric. The services give customers greater visibility and insight while helping them modernise infrastructure, strengthen resilience, manage risk and build AI-ready environments.
Anita Swann, VP, Global Alliances at Logicalis, said, “This specialisation reflects the strength of our longstanding relationship with Cisco and the investments we continue to make in the skills, platforms and services our customers need. By bringing networking and security together within a transformational managed services model, we can help organisations reduce complexity, strengthen resilience and build the secure foundations required for AI.”
Global delivery and Cisco expertise
Logicalis supports customers through Network Operations Centres and Security Operations Centres in every major region. These teams monitor and manage networking and security environments, combining global delivery with established Cisco expertise.
The Cisco Secure Networking Specialisation provides independent validation of Logicalis’ expertise and its ability to apply consistent security controls across complex network environments.
“Cisco’s partner ecosystem is central to helping customers translate technology innovation into measurable outcomes,” said Elisabeth De Dobbeleer, SVP, Cisco Global Partner Program GTM at Cisco. “Logicalis’ ability to achieve Cisco’s Secure Networking Specialisation in five countries combined with their capacity to deliver managed services at scale, demonstrates the expertise, innovation, and customer focus that define our strongest partners. Their global capability combined with local expertise help customers modernise their infrastructure, simplify operations and prepare securely for the AI era.”
Together, Logicalis and Cisco help customers assess their environments, prioritise modernisation and adopt more automated, policy-driven operations. Cisco IQ and Cloud Control improve visibility, lifecycle management and operational consistency throughout this process.
Enabling the next phase of digital transformation
Secure networking gives organisations a foundation that can evolve with changing business requirements. By integrating networking, security, automation and operational insight, Logicalis helps customers simplify management and adapt their infrastructure over time.
The specialisation reinforces Logicalis’ move beyond traditional infrastructure management towards managed services that support continuous improvement. It enables customers to modernise existing environments, simplify operations and make technology investment decisions with greater confidence.
