Stack the deck in your favor

​In zero-trust architecture, ISE is the policy decision point. It gathers intel from the stack to authenticate users and endpoints, automatically containing threats.  

​Harness the power of resilience​

​Resilience begins with secure connections. ISE helps ensure that only trusted users and their devices can access resources across your self-managed network.  

Visibility better than 20/20

Knowing who's connecting to your network, what devices they're on, and what connection they're using is key. ISE uses key intel to automatically identify, classify, and profile devices.

Think outside the box

​Switching from infrastructure in a box to infrastructure as code (IaC) helps preserve business integrity, while aligning access and policy to your strategy and objectives.
