Cisco

As a strategic partner, Cisco helps companies, government agencies, organizations, and the German government create secure, high-performance networks that enable them to collaborate better - so that critical processes succeed faster and our society can move forward in a protected digital way.

To help Germany drive digitization, Deutschland Digital was launched - a $500 million program to accelerate digitization.

Digitizing government agencies, ministries and administrations is a major project. Cisco has been a reliable partner to public authorities at all levels for decades. To this end, Cisco develops products and solutions around networking, network infrastructures, cybersecurity, data center equipment, video communication and collaboration solutions, cloud/software and services. We support large transformation projects from the planning phase to implementation and operation. The basis for this is our integrated security strategy, which extends from product development through supply chain and operations to data protection. Our technologies are regularly certified by the BSI. In our Technology Verification Service Lab in Berlin, the security and operation of network technologies - especially for critical infrastructures and public authorities - can be tested under real conditions. In addition, our Security and Trust Office is available to answer any security-related questions.

Cisco understands that government collaboration offerings rely on security and trust to ensure informational self-determination. We want to further develop this independence, digital sovereignty. Sovereignty does not mean developing everything ourselves, but understanding available technologies in order to use them securely and sovereignly.
