A core part of what we do here at CTC Technologies.

CTC Technologies is proud to partner with Cisco to offer this unique and truly encompassing solution that we believe will put any network security and access concerns to rest. No matter how large or mobile your workforce, we can ensure protection from endpoint to endpoint with Cisco ISE and know exactly what is going on in your WAN.

What is Cisco ISE?

The Cisco Identity Services Engine is a policy-based enforcement system that grants or denies network access automatically, based on parameters that you can set and edit at any time.

With this identity-based system, you can centrally control any wireless or wired endpoints trying to access your network by administering policies that dictate who/what can enter, and where, and when they are allowed to do so.

Essentially, ISE profiles endpoint devices for any users trying to gain unauthorized access to your network. When it finds them, it will either deny or give guest access to the user, based on your settings.

ISE is an amazingly simple yet efficient solution that helps you keep your network safe without always having to have eyes on it. Great for mobile, large and/or intricate workforces, ISE’s top features include:

• Central management
• Automated actions based on previously dictated policies
• Regular database updates so that there are no gaps in visibility
• Taking care of BYOD devices and guest onboarding and many other day-to-day tasks
• Ensuring endpoint-to-endpoint security across your network to constantly protect your sensitive data

Cisco ISE Deployment in Five Steps:

Though deployment can vary depending on each company’s infrastructure and individual storage needs, here is an overview of what to expect:

1. High-Level Design Guide.

• Site survey.
• Overview document from Cisco that covers all the major concepts of ISE deployment.

2. Low-Level Design Guide.

• Here, we gather all of your infrastructure information that’s necessary to administer the ISE solution.
• This is information that is required to actually configure the solution.

3. Pre-Deployment/Testing for Functionality.

4. Actual Full-Scale Deployment.

5. Knowledge transfer

• Trading operations, troubleshooting and transfer of your particular configurations.
