COURSE OBJECTIVE:

In this course, you will learn about the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)—a next-generation identity and access control policy platform that provides a single policy plane across the entire organization combining multiple services, including authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) using 802.1x, MAB, web authentication, posture, profiling, device on-boarding, guest services, and VPN access into a single context-aware identity-based platform. The training provides learners with the knowledge and skills to enforce security compliance for wired and wireless endpoints and enhance infrastructure security using the Cisco ISE.

PREREQUISIT:

CCNA Security or equivalent level of experience with Cisco devices
Foundation-level wireless knowledge and skills
Familiarity with Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Active Directory
Familiarity with 802.1X
Familiarity with Cisco ASA
Familiarity with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client

Who Should Attend

  • Consulting systems engineers
