LONDON – November 03, 2026 -- Logicalis has become the first Cisco global partner to achieve Cisco's Secure Networking Specialisation in five countries, and plans to double the number of accredited countries within six months.

Logicalis earns Cisco Secure Networking Specialisation in the US, Germany, Brazil, China and Indonesia

The accreditation covers the United States, Germany, Brazil, China and Indonesia. It validates Logicalis' expertise in designing, implementing and managing secure network environments, and extends its global managed services capabilities across networking and security.

Customers gain access to validated Cisco expertise through a global delivery model. That model is backed by local market knowledge and regional Network Operations Centres and Security Operations Centres.

Managed services draw on Cisco Cloud Control, Cisco IQ and Cisco Data Fabric

Logicalis and Cisco are evolving their Secure Networking managed services for AI-driven workloads, with a focus on visibility, resilience and simpler infrastructure management. The services are built on Cisco Cloud Control and enhanced by Cisco IQ, where available, alongside Cisco Data Fabric. The companies say this supports more automated, secure and AI-ready operations.

Logicalis helps customers assess their environments, prioritise modernisation and adopt more automated, policy-driven operations. The aim is to reduce complexity across distributed IT environments as networks carry more business-critical traffic for a growing number of users, devices and workloads.

Executives from both companies stress scale and local delivery

Anita Swann, VP, Global Alliances at Logicalis, said combining networking and security in a managed services model helps organisations "reduce complexity, strengthen resilience and build the secure foundations required for AI."

Elisabeth De Dobbeleer, SVP, Cisco Global Partner Program GTM at Cisco, cited Logicalis' five-country achievement and its capacity to deliver managed services at scale as evidence of the capabilities Cisco looks for in its strongest partners.
