Cisco TrustSec
Software-defined segmentation
You need to segment your network to protect critical business assets. But traditional approaches are complex. Cisco TrustSec software-defined segmentation is simpler to enable than VLAN-based segmentation. Policy is defined through security groups. It is open through IETF, available within OpenDaylight, and supported on third-party and Cisco platforms.

How to enable
Cisco TrustSec security groups give users access that is consistently maintained as resources move across domains. It simplifies the management of switch, router, and firewall rules. Yet you still have granular control of your network.
Define security group tags
Assign security group tags (SGTs) to enforce access policies for users, applications, and devices.
Manage policies with ISE
Use the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) to define and manage SGTs on your network.
Share policies across domains
Use Cisco ISE to share TrustSec group information with other group-based policy schemes.
