INTEGRATION

Cisco

Enriching OT and IT asset visibility in Nozomi Vantage with network device inventory and topology data from Cisco Meraki.

About
Cisco

Cisco Meraki is a cloud-based network management platform with centralized configuration and monitoring of network infrastructure. By integrating Cisco Meraki with Nozomi Vantage, security teams gain a consolidated view of managed assets across IT and OT environments — importing network device inventory and topology data directly into Vantage. This enriches the asset registry with authoritative data from the Cisco management plane, accelerating incident investigation, reducing blind spots in critical infrastructure environments and enabling analysts to correlate network infra telemetry with OT network observations without switching consoles.

Features

Importer Data Types

Vantage imports the following from
Cisco Meraki
:
  • Asset Details Enrichment and Create New in Vantage

    Cisco Meraki supplies records including device serial number, name, IP, MAC, model, firmware version, network assignment, status and last-reported timestamp — to enrich existing Vantage assets and create new asset records for endpoints not yet observed on the OT network.

Joint Use Cases

  • Correlating Cisco signals with OT network alerts

    When Nozomi Vantage raises an anomaly alert for a device inside an OT segment, the analyst can pivot to the same asset's Cisco Meraki record in Vantage to review topology neighbours, firmware version and uplink port state, all without leaving the Vantage investigation workflow. This cross-layer correlation surfaces whether a network-layer anomaly coincides with activity observed by Cisco, reducing the time needed to confirm or dismiss an incident.

  • Closing asset inventory gaps across IT and OT

    Devices recorded by Cisco Meraki but not yet observed by Nozomi network sensors are automatically created as new asset records in Vantage, populated with device name, model, firmware, site and uplink topology drawn from the Cisco management plane. OT operations teams can audit the resulting unified inventory to identify unmonitored or underprotected assets in industrial and critical infrastructure zones, then prioritize sensor deployment accordingly.

  • Unifying network-device inventory across IT and OT

    Switch, router and access-point inventory from Cisco Meraki is combined with Vantage's OT-network discovery to provide a single map of network infrastructure spanning carpeted spaces, process networks and DMZs.

Integration Prerequesites

  • Active Nozomi Vantage tenant with the connector-configuration role assigned to the administering account
  • Cisco Meraki Dashboard organization with an API key generated under My Profile → API access
  • Consistent hostname, IP or MAC addressing between Cisco Meraki-recorded assets and Vantage-observed assets to enable accurate asset correlation and deduplication
  • Outbound network connectivity from Vantage to the source-tool API endpoint over HTTPS (this prerequisite is a deployment placeholder and may be adjusted to match your environment)
  • Outbound network connectivity from Vantage to the source-tool API endpoint over HTTPS (this prerequisite is a deployment placeholder and may be adjusted to match your environment)
