Federal Partner · Cisco

Cisco, brought to federal mission programs.

FCI is the federal channel for Cisco — networking, secure collaboration, identity, and observability delivered into agencies that already run on Cisco at the core, modernized for zero-trust and cloud-era operations.

Our Partnership

Cisco as the federal network already in the ground.

Cisco sits inside more federal networks than any other OEM — DoD, civilian, and across the intelligence community. The modernization work isn't about ripping it out; it's about extending the Cisco fabric into zero-trust, secure collaboration, and cloud observability. FCI is the federal channel that lands the next wave of Cisco capability inside the agency's existing footprint.

Installed

Largest federal footprint

Cisco is the dominant network presence across federal civilian and DoD. The modernization conversation starts from that incumbency, not against it.

Certified

Federal accreditations

Cisco carries the FedRAMP, Common Criteria, and NIAP certifications federal customers ask for early in the procurement conversation.

Zero-Trust

Identity-aware networking

Duo plus the Cisco network fabric is the practical zero-trust path for agencies already running Cisco — without a forklift architecture change.

Splunk

Observability inside the stack

Splunk inside Cisco gives federal teams a unified security-and-observability surface against the same network they already run.

What FCI Delivers

The Cisco engagement, federal end-to-end.

Six service lines that extend the Cisco footprint into modern federal architectures — without breaking what already works.

Network Architecture

The Cisco footprint scoped against the modernization roadmap — Catalyst, Meraki, SD-WAN, segmentation. Where the existing fabric stays, where it gets extended, where it gets replaced.

License & Vehicle Access

Cisco licensing and hardware through GSA MAS with federal terms benchmarked. EA structures, Smart Account architecture, and refresh cycles structured for predictable federal budget planning.

Zero-Trust with Duo

Duo deployed as the agency's identity and access enforcement layer — PIV/CAC, conditional access, device posture. The zero-trust control surface across the Cisco environment and beyond.

Splunk & Observability

Splunk for federal security operations and observability — log pipelines, SIEM build-out, dashboards aligned to the agency's reporting cadence. The visibility surface the SOC actually uses.

Secure Collaboration

Webex for federal collaboration deployed against the agency's data classification — including Webex for Government where the boundary requires it. The collaboration surface that meets the records and FOIA posture.

Lifecycle & Refresh

Hardware refresh planning, EA true-ups, federal-team training, and renewal management. The advisory relationship that stays through the next refresh window.

Where Cisco shows up

Federal missions where the network is the platform.

Three patterns where Cisco anchors the federal mission stack.

01 · Network Modernization

Catalyst, Meraki, and SD-WAN refresh

Federal civilian and DoD network modernization on the Cisco fabric — campus refresh, SD-WAN for distributed agency operations, segmentation for the modern threat surface. The modernization that keeps the operational continuity intact.

02 · Secure Collaboration

Webex for federal workforces

Federal collaboration that meets the records, FOIA, and classification posture — Webex deployed against the agency's data boundary, with the audit and retention surface the CIO and records officer need from day one.

03 · Zero-Trust Networking

Duo plus Cisco as the trust fabric

Zero-trust as a path, not a rewrite — Duo for identity-aware access, Cisco segmentation for network enforcement, and Splunk for the visibility plane. The zero-trust posture the agency can roll out without disrupting mission operations.
