At Securebytes, we’re committed to helping organisations strengthen their cyber security from every angle. Today, we’re excited to announce another significant milestone in that journey—Securebytes is now an Official Cisco Partner.
This partnership enables us to expand our capabilities beyond identifying security weaknesses, allowing us to help organisations design, implement and support secure, resilient network infrastructure using one of the world’s leading networking platforms.
Security Doesn’t Start with a Penetration Test
Many organisations invest in penetration testing to understand where vulnerabilities exist. While this is a critical part of any cyber security strategy, true resilience starts much earlier.
A well-designed network reduces attack surface, limits the impact of security incidents and provides a strong foundation for the services your business depends on every day.
Our approach has always been to help clients improve their security posture, not just identify problems. Becoming a Cisco Partner allows us to support clients throughout the entire lifecycle of their network infrastructure.
What This Means for Our Clients
As an Official Cisco Partner, Securebytes can provide additional expertise across secure networking technologies, including:
- Secure network architecture and design
- Enterprise switching and routing
- Wireless network deployment
- Network segmentation and access control
- Secure remote connectivity
- Infrastructure implementation and migration
- Ongoing support and best practice guidance
Whether you’re building a new office, modernising an existing network or planning long-term infrastructure improvements, we can help ensure your environment is designed with security and resilience in mind.
Combining Offensive Security with Secure Infrastructure
Securebytes is already recognised for delivering CREST-approved penetration testing across a wide range of technologies, including:
- Internal infrastructure assessments
- External infrastructure assessments
- Web application penetration testing
- API security testing
- Cloud security assessments
- Microsoft 365 and Azure security reviews
- Mobile application testing
We also operate as an IASME Certification Body for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, helping organisations achieve and maintain recognised security standards.
By combining these services with Cisco networking expertise, we can offer clients a more complete security journey.
For example:
- Design a secure network architecture
- Implement infrastructure following industry best practices
- Validate security through independent penetration testing
- Support compliance with Cyber Essentials and other security frameworks
- Continue improving the environment as threats evolve
Rather than treating networking and security as separate disciplines, we believe they should work together from day one.
Why This Matters
Cyber threats continue to evolve rapidly. Ransomware groups, credential theft, lateral movement and supply chain attacks increasingly target weaknesses within network infrastructure.
Secure architecture can significantly reduce risk by:
- Limiting unnecessary exposure
- Segmenting critical systems
- Enforcing least-privilege access
- Improving visibility across the environment
- Supporting rapid incident response
- Increasing resilience against modern attack techniques
Technology alone isn’t enough, but implementing it correctly provides a strong foundation for effective cyber security.
Supporting Organisations at Every Stage
Whether you’re:
- Building a new network
- Refreshing ageing infrastructure
- Expanding into new locations
- Moving workloads to the cloud
- Improving network security
- Preparing for Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus
- Looking for ongoing security advice
Securebytes can provide practical guidance backed by real-world offensive security experience.
Because we regularly test organisations from an attacker’s perspective, we understand the weaknesses that are commonly exploited. That knowledge feeds directly into how we design and recommend secure infrastructure.
Looking Ahead
Becoming an Official Cisco Partner represents another important milestone for Securebytes.
Our mission remains unchanged: helping organisations reduce cyber risk through practical, professional and effective security services.
By combining secure infrastructure design, implementation, penetration testing and compliance services under one roof, we’re continuing to build a complete cyber security offering that supports organisations throughout their security journey.
If you’re planning a network upgrade, reviewing your security architecture or looking for a trusted partner to support your infrastructure, we’d be delighted to discuss how Securebytes can help.
