Flexibility, digitization, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are rapidly changing the way and manner in which we live and work. Enterprises are tested with supporting a wide array of network-enabled devices even as innumerable security threats and highly broadcasted data breaches exhibit the significance of defending access to the ever changing enterprise network.

As the modern network continues to expand, so does the difficulty of arranging resources, handling incongruent security solutions, and regulating risk. Then you need to take in to account the pervasive connectivity of non-corporate devices with already constrained IT resources. The likelihood of being unable to find and fix security threats becomes huge indeed. A different approach is needed to both manage and protect the ever changing enterprise network. It’s called the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE).

Important ISE 2.2 updates and enhancements allow you to:

• View and share rich user and device details: Get additional user and endpoint visibility all the way from all the guest users in the network right down to the endpoint application level.

• Manage access all over the network using next-level control for endpoints. Coupled with even richer endpoint and application visibility, Cisco ISE is able to enforce extremely granular user behavior and device compliance.

• Use the simple wireless setup tool. Enterprise-grade network access security can now be attained with industry-leading swiftness and simplicity of use with the new built-in ISE setup tool. The zero-day wireless installation with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers can be attained in under 10 minutes for protected access, guest services, and BYOD.

• Halt and contain network threats: Develop a next-level segmentation tactic with ISE DEFCON. You can set multiple policy scenarios predefined within numerous Cisco TrustSec matrixes. You can dynamically install software-defined segmentation instantaneously based on your company’s threat climate.

Furthermore, ISE uses Cisco Platform Exchange Grid (pxGrid) technology to share rich circumstantial data with incorporated technology partner solutions. pxGrid is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards-based method to quicken your ability to find, alleviate, and fix security threats all across your extended network. Overall, the access control is consolidated and mad easy to deliver important business services much more securely, augment infrastructure protection, impose compliance, and make more efficient IT operations.

Via its integrations with principal networking and threat defense solutions, its profound network visibility, and its protected access control abilities, ISE plays an essential role in the Rapid Threat Containment, network-as-a-sensor, and network-as-an-enforcer solutions which empower the Cisco Digital Ready Network.
