Cisco ISE (Identity Services Engine) is a solution that helps organizations address these challenges by providing identity-based secure access for BYOD and borderless networks. Cisco ISE is a centralized platform that integrates with the network infrastructure and enables organizations to:
Identify users and devices using various methods such as 802.1X, certificates, or device profiling.
Apply context-aware security policies based on user identity, device type, location, time, and security posture.
Provide secure guest access with web authentication, self-registration, or sponsor approval.
Isolate and remediate compromised or non-compliant devices using network admission control (NAC) and posture assessment.
Segment the network using security group tags (SGTs) and enforce granular access control using security group access (SGA).
Encrypt network traffic using layer 2 encryption (L2E).
Monitor and troubleshoot the entire secure access system using dashboards, reports, and alerts.
Cisco ISE is part of the Cisco Secure Unified Access Architecture, which also includes other components such as Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs), Cisco Catalyst switches, Cisco ASA firewalls, Cisco AnyConnect VPN clients, and Cisco TrustSec. These components work together to provide a comprehensive and consistent solution for secure access across wired, wireless, and VPN networks.
