How to Choose the Best Identity Service Engine The enterprise network these days are already changing quickly , especially with regards to employee mobility. Workstations these days are no longer filled with desktops since employees can now move from one place to another while having access on the enterprise resources through the use of different devices like personal laptops, smartphones and tablets. Although the ability to access certain resources from anywhere can significantly increase the productivity of your company, it can also increase the possibility of security threats and date breaches since it would be hard to control the security of the devices that are accessing your network. With that being said, it will be a huge and difficult task to keep track of all the devices that are accessing the network, and if ever there is a need for more access, the more it becomes unsustainable to manage. An identity-based network access policy and control enforcement system called Cisco identity service engine (ISE) should be considered. When identity service engine (ISE) is used, a network administrator will be allowed to centrally control the access policies for wireless and wired endpoints that are based on the information gathered from certain messages that are passed between the ISE node that is also known as profiling, and the device. On a daily basis, the profiling database is updated so that it will be easier to keep up with the greatest and latest devices and to make sure that there are no gaps in the visibility of devices. Usually, identity service engine or ISE makes an identity attachment to a device based upon the function, user, and other features so that it can provide security compliance and policy enforcement prior to authorizing the device to access the network. Depending on the results that comes from different variables, an endpoint can only be allowed to access the network if the specific set of rules are applied to the interface where it is connected to, otherwise, the endpoint will be denied or can be given a guest access that are based on the guidelines that your company has. In other words, ISE is an automated policy enforcement engine that deals with the daily task of device and guest on boarding, access list management, switch port VLAN changes for the end-users, and others, in order for the network administrator to focus on other projects and important tasks.
