Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)

The Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a comprehensive 2-day workshop program designed to provide participants with an understanding of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) v3.x and its role in network security. This workshop combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on lab exercises to ensure participants gain practical skills in deploying, configuring, and managing Cisco ISE.

Throughout the workshop, participants will learn about the architecture, features, and
benefits of Cisco ISE. They will explore various deployment options, understand how to integrate ISE with existing network infrastructure, and delve into policy enforcement using ISE for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA).

The workshop will also cover advanced topics such as guest and BYOD access, profiling, posturing, and troubleshooting common issues with Cisco ISE. Participants will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in a simulated environment through hands on lab exercises, enabling them to gain practical experience in configuring ISE policies, implementing network access control, and troubleshooting ISE deployments.
