VQ’s Monthly News – July 2025

The cloud is convenient, but when it comes to secure collaboration, who controls it matters most.

In this month’s newsletter, we’re sharing a new way to think about control, plus our upcoming events and the final chapter in our myth-busting blog series.

New video series: Trust, control and data sovereignty

In this two-part video series with Robb Boyd, we explore why cloud-first infrastructure often falls short of true sovereignty – and how organisations are reclaiming control without abandoning Cisco.

We also break down the Trust Descent Triangle, explaining how layers of external trust weaken control and how to break free.

We’re hitting the road. If you’re attending any of the following events, come say hello! 

We would love to talk about your CMS environment and how we can help power it more securely.

  • TechNet Augusta (Aug 19–22, Georgia, USA) – We’ll be on Cisco Booth #105
  • Cisco GSX (Aug 26–28, Las Vegas, USA) – Arrange a meeting here
  • WebexOne (Sep 29 – Oct 1, San Diego, USA) – Arrange a meeting here

Self-hosted video conferencing isn’t just for big enterprises.


In the final post of our Dispelling the Myths series, we explore how small and mid-sized organisations are using VQ + Cisco CMS to build secure communication platforms at scale.
