SPECTRUM BUSINESS LAUNCHES A NEW SECURE NETWORKING OFFERING

Key Takeaways:

• Enterprises can turn to Spectrum Business for its new fully-managed Secure Networking solution to protect themselves from emerging AI-enabled security threats.
• Spectrum Business' offering is among the first of its kind in North America, featuring the latest Cisco 8000-Series Secure Router technology, world-class support enriched with Agentic Ops and a rich digital experience.

STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Spectrum Business announced the launch of a new Managed Cisco Secure Networking offering. With Cisco's new 8000 Series Secure Routers and Talos Threat Intelligence Integrations, our Secure Networking solution gives enterprises the ability to scale network capacity, add advanced routing flexibility and strengthen security as network demands intensify in the AI age.

Spectrum Business was one of the first U.S.-based service providers who certified and brought to market the new 8000 Series Secure Routers for enterprise use cases and was recognized with an early adopter award at the Cisco Partner Summit.

As enterprises adopt next-generation technologies, their networks need high-performance connectivity with built-in security to address the demands of increasingly AI-driven environments. This puts additional pressure on internal IT teams. Spectrum's Secure Networking solution is designed to help customers meet these evolving demands with a managed service that combines high-performance routing, post-quantum cryptography readiness and next generation security services.

Available to eligible customers as a monthly subscription which covers all hardware, software licensing, network design, installation, configuration and ongoing updates, IT departments can offload routine support requirements and focus on more strategic business initiatives.

"Cisco's Secure Router gives us powerful new hardware and dashboard controls which enable enforcement of next generation threat protections, while providing AI-enhanced full visibility across the network," said Keith Dardis, Executive Vice President of Spectrum Business. "Our team designs, secures and runs the network day to day, so customers can tailor our involvement to their needs as much or as little as they want and stay focused on their business objectives, not their infrastructure."

How Secure Networking Solution Delivers 
Spectrum Business' Secure Networking solution means customers get hardware installation, upgrades and security handled by a trained team of professionals.

• Simplified Operations: Leveraging Cisco's platform, customers gain instant visibility into their security configurations and comprehensive network observability across all locations. Customers can make modifications or let Spectrum Business manage everything behind the scenes.
• Connectivity: Customers can combine services with multiple underlying internet connectivity options (i.e., dedicated fiber, broadband, 5G and satellite) to meet their needs, backed by a 100% uptime service-level agreement (SLA).
• Security: The offer combines integrated edge security with post-quantum cryptography capabilities on supported Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers, bringing NetOps and SecOps together through unified visibility and control.
• Expert Support: Enterprises have 24/7/365 access to dedicated certified technicians, local account teams and phone/online support.

"Enterprises need secure, resilient networks built for an AI-enabled world. Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers help power Spectrum Business's managed Secure Networking solution, giving customers confidence in industry-leading connectivity," said Lee Peterson, VP, Branch and WAN Network for Cisco. "This enhancement reflects our strong partnership and shared commitment to the networks of the future."
