What is Cisco ISE?
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a Cisco security platform that manages network access and enforces security policies. It enables organizations to control who can access the network and what resources they can use. ISE acts as a policy decision point, authenticating users and devices and ensuring that only trusted users and devices can access network resources. It also helps with security policy enforcement, device management, and threat identification.
Key functions of Cisco ISE:
Access control:
ISE enables you to define access policies that control who can connect to the network and what resources they can access, including authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA).
Device management:
ISE can automatically identify, classify, and profile devices, verifying security posture and policy compliance.
Network security:
ISE helps protect the network from threats by identifying and mitigating compromised devices and ensuring that only trusted devices and users can access the network.
To download Cisco ISE for KVM, you’ll need to download the appropriate ISO image from the Cisco website using your CCO (Cisco Connection Online) account. After downloading, you must create a virtual machine on your KVM host and attach the ISO image to it as a virtual DVD drive. Then, you’ll boot the VM from the virtual DVD to begin the Cisco ISE installation.
