Trellix ePO (ePolicy Orchestrator) is a centralised security management platform that provides unified policy administration, deployment management and compliance reporting across endpoint protection, data loss prevention, encryption and other security products. For Australian organisations managing large device fleets, ePO serves as the single console where security policies are defined, enforced and monitored across every managed endpoint — whether those devices sit in corporate offices, remote worker locations or data centre environments. The platform evolved from McAfee ePO and now serves as the management backbone for the broader Trellix security ecosystem. ePO handles agent deployment, policy distribution, product updates, threat event collection and compliance dashboarding for organisations that need centralised control over distributed security infrastructure. For IT teams managing compliance obligations under frameworks like the Australian Essential Eight or APRA CPS 234, ePO compliance reporting translates security policy enforcement into auditable evidence without manual data collection. Where ePO delivers genuine operational value is through its automation capabilities and web API. Routine security operations — deploying agent updates, enforcing policy changes, generating compliance reports, responding to threat detections — can be orchestrated programmatically rather than requiring console-based manual intervention. Our automation team helps organisations build workflows that connect ePO to broader IT operations, turning security management into an automated, measurable process rather than a reactive administrative burden. ePO supports both on-premises and cloud-based deployment models, with the cloud option reducing infrastructure management overhead for organisations that prefer managed security operations. The platform also integrates with third-party security tools and SIEM platforms through its extensible architecture, providing a foundation for unified security operations across mixed-vendor environments.

Cisco Meraki delivers cloud-managed networking infrastructure — wireless access points, switches, security appliances and mobile device management — all controlled through a single web-based dashboard. For Australian organisations with distributed sites, branch offices or retail locations, the platform eliminates the need for on-premises network management servers and gives IT teams centralised visibility across every location from one console. The Meraki dashboard provides real-time network analytics, device health monitoring and automated alerting that makes it practical for lean IT teams to manage complex multi-site environments. Built-in security features including content filtering, intrusion detection and automatic firmware updates reduce the operational overhead of maintaining network security across geographically dispersed infrastructure. Where Meraki becomes particularly powerful for business automation is through its comprehensive REST API. Network events, client analytics, location data and device telemetry can all be consumed by external systems — feeding into automated data processing workflows, business intelligence dashboards and operational alerting systems. Our integration specialists regularly connect Meraki infrastructure data to broader business platforms, turning network telemetry into actionable operational insights. For organisations considering smart building deployments, retail analytics or IoT infrastructure, Meraki provides the network foundation with built-in support for high-density wireless, Bluetooth beaconing and environmental sensors — capabilities that extend well beyond basic connectivity into genuine business data collection.

Sekoia is a European-born cybersecurity platform that combines threat intelligence, SIEM capabilities and automated detection and response (XDR) in a single cloud-native solution. For Australian organisations looking beyond the traditional US-centric security vendor landscape, Sekoia offers a compelling alternative with strong threat intelligence curation and a modern architecture built for API-driven security operations. The platform continuously ingests threat intelligence from its own research team, open-source feeds and industry sharing communities, then correlates that intelligence against your security telemetry in real time. This approach means detection rules are continuously updated based on emerging threat campaigns rather than relying solely on static signatures or historical patterns. For organisations dealing with sophisticated threat actors or operating in targeted industries, this intelligence-led approach provides materially better detection coverage. What makes Sekoia particularly interesting from an automation perspective is its playbook engine and comprehensive API. Security detection, investigation and response workflows can be codified as automated playbooks that execute consistently every time — eliminating the variability that comes with manual incident handling. Our consulting team helps organisations design these automated security playbooks, connecting Sekoia to broader operational workflows including ticketing systems, communication platforms and compliance reporting tools. The platform supports log ingestion from a wide range of sources including cloud infrastructure, endpoint protection, network devices and SaaS applications, making it practical for organisations with heterogeneous technology environments that need unified security visibility without vendor lock-in.

QRadar is IBM’s security information and event management (SIEM) platform that collects, correlates, and analyses security data from across your IT infrastructure. The n8n QRadar node connects your SIEM data to automated workflows — letting you pull offences, search events, manage reference sets, and trigger response actions without manually navigating the QRadar console. SIEM platforms generate an overwhelming volume of security events. QRadar does an excellent job correlating those events into actionable offences, but the steps between detecting an offence and responding to it are still largely manual in most organisations. An analyst sees the alert, opens QRadar, investigates the details, copies indicators into other tools, creates a ticket, and notifies the team. Each of those steps takes time that matters during an active incident. The n8n QRadar node automates those manual steps. You can build workflows that pull new offences on a schedule or via webhook, enrich them with external threat intelligence, create investigation tickets automatically, notify the right team members, and even trigger containment actions in other security tools — all within seconds of the offence being created. Osher Digital builds security automation and system integration workflows for Australian businesses. If your SOC team is spending too much time on manual triage and wants to accelerate incident response with n8n and QRadar, our business automation team can design and implement the right workflows for your security operations.

Zscaler ZIA (Zscaler Internet Access) is a cloud-native secure web gateway that inspects all internet traffic to enforce security policies, block threats, and prevent data loss — regardless of where your users are located. The n8n ZScaler ZIA node lets you automate URL categorisation lookups, policy management, and security reporting without manually logging into the ZIA admin portal. Traditional web security relied on on-premises proxy appliances that only worked when users were in the office. ZIA shifts that enforcement to the cloud, inspecting traffic from any location. But managing URL categories, investigating blocked requests, maintaining custom allow and block lists, and generating compliance reports still requires manual admin work — work that scales poorly as your organisation and policy complexity grow. With n8n and the ZIA node, you can build workflows that automatically update URL category overrides based on threat intelligence feeds, generate scheduled reports on blocked traffic and policy violations, investigate user-reported access issues by looking up URL classifications, and sync security policies across ZIA and other tools in your stack. The automation handles the repetitive administration while your security team focuses on policy decisions. Osher Digital helps Australian businesses automate security operations and system integrations using n8n. If your team manages Zscaler ZIA and wants to reduce manual policy administration or improve threat response times, our business automation specialists can build the workflows to make it happen.

Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP for Endpoints) is a cloud-managed endpoint detection and response (EDR) platform that monitors file activity, process behaviour, and network connections across your organisation’s devices to detect and block threats. The n8n Cisco Secure Endpoint node lets you automate threat response, event retrieval, and endpoint management tasks that would otherwise require manual work in the Secure Endpoint console. Endpoint security is a volume problem. Every device in your organisation generates telemetry — file executions, network connections, process trees, and behavioural signals — all of which needs monitoring. When Cisco Secure Endpoint detects something suspicious, someone on your team has to review the event, assess the threat, investigate related indicators, and take action. For organisations with hundreds or thousands of endpoints, this manual process cannot keep pace with the alert volume. The n8n node automates the response chain. You can build workflows that pull new threat events from Cisco Secure Endpoint, enrich them with context from other security tools, automatically isolate compromised hosts, update internal tracking systems, and notify your response team — all within seconds of detection. The platform handles the heavy lifting while your analysts focus on genuine investigations. Osher Digital builds security automation and system integration workflows for Australian businesses using n8n. If your security team needs faster endpoint threat response or wants to reduce manual alert triage, our business automation team can connect Cisco Secure Endpoint to the rest of your security operations.

AlienVault, now part of AT&T Cybersecurity, provides unified security management and threat intelligence capabilities that many Australian organisations rely on for their security operations. The platform combines SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), intrusion detection, vulnerability assessment and behavioural monitoring into a single console — reducing the need to manage half a dozen disconnected security tools. For businesses dealing with growing compliance obligations under frameworks like the Australian Privacy Act or Essential Eight, AlienVault offers built-in correlation rules and reporting templates that map directly to regulatory requirements. The open-source OSSIM version gives smaller teams a practical entry point, while USM Anywhere extends those capabilities with cloud-native deployment and managed threat intelligence feeds from the Open Threat Exchange (OTX) community. Where AlienVault becomes particularly valuable is in environments where security events need to flow into broader business workflows. By connecting AlienVault to platforms like n8n or custom middleware, organisations can automate incident triage, escalation and compliance reporting — turning raw security telemetry into actionable responses without manual intervention. Our AI consulting team regularly helps businesses build these automated security pipelines, drawing on real project experience like our insurance tech data pipeline work. The platform supports integration with a wide range of third-party tools through its REST API and plugin architecture, making it a practical foundation for organisations that want centralised visibility without ripping out existing security investments.
