Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a network-based Access Control and Policy Enforcement Platform that enables enterprises to enforce compliance, enhance infrastructure security, and streamline their service operations. The unique architecture of Cisco ISE allows enterprises to gather real-time contextual information from network devices (NADs), users and devices (Endpoints), the administrator can then use that information to make proactive governance decisions and enforce policies by tying identity to various network elements including access switches, wireless LAN controllers (WLCs), virtual private network (VPN) gateways, and data center switches. Cisco ISE is a key component of the Cisco Security Group Access Solution.

In this Test Drive we will discuss the key requirements customers have when looking for an Access Control System. We will discuss in depth the advantages the Cisco ISE solution offers such as full lifecycle Guest Access, Profiling and Visibility, Talos, Px Grid, etc. We will also focus on new features such as Cisco Software Defined Access and the integration with Cisco DNA Center. We will setup and test a demo solution to show the features of ISE with real life equipment.
