Securing Enterprise Networks with Cisco Meraki

Ryan Chaney, the lead author on this book, started his Cisco journey in his early 20s, completing his first CCIE (R+S) at the age of 25, before completing his second CCIE (Security) just 2 years later. Before joining Cisco, he worked in a variety of networking roles across the world, including time as a network architect for Visa in London. Ryan spent the first 10 years of his 15 years at Cisco as a systems engineer, educating customers, designing, and building IT solutions. His first experience with Meraki came while volunteering at the Royal Far West Centre for Country Kids, where he designed and built the network for their new headquarters in Manly, Sydney. At the time, no books had been published on Meraki. This experience and wanting to share his learnings with fellow network engineers, like you, became the inspiration for this book. Ryan lives in Bondi Beach, Australia.
