This comprehensive Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) course is designed to equip IT professionals, network engineers, and security practitioners with the knowledge and hands-on skills required to implement, configure, and manage Cisco ISE in modern enterprise networks.
Whether you’re new to Cisco ISE or looking to deepen your expertise, this course provides a structured and practical approach to understanding the full capabilities of Cisco ISE as a network access control and identity management solution.
Throughout the course, you’ll explore the foundational concepts of Cisco ISE, including its architecture, deployment models, and the critical role it plays in securing network access. You’ll learn how Cisco ISE helps enforce policies through authentication, authorization, profiling, posture assessment, and integration with identity sources such as Active Directory and LDAP. Real-world use cases—such as managing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), guest access portals, and certificate-based authentication—will demonstrate how ISE delivers policy-based access control in complex environments.
Key technical areas covered include 802.1X and MAB authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), VLAN assignments, ACL enforcement, endpoint visibility and profiling through probes, policy sets, and conditions. You will also dive into advanced features like posture compliance checks using Cisco AnyConnect, remediation workflows, and certificate provisioning for trusted access.
The course emphasizes visibility and control through monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting tools built into ISE, preparing you to maintain a secure and compliant network.
By the end of this course, you will be confident in deploying Cisco ISE in both standalone and distributed architectures, integrating it with your existing infrastructure (such as switches, wireless LAN controllers, and firewalls), and scaling it for high availability and enterprise performance.
Whether your goal is to implement Zero Trust principles, meet compliance requirements, or strengthen your network security posture, this course offers the knowledge and practical insights you need to succeed.
