Introduction Wireless NAC (Network Access Control) is one of the most critical security use-cases in enterprise networks. While wired NAC ensures endpoints connected via switches are authenticated and authorized, wireless NAC validation ensures every mobile, IoT, and BYOD device connecting through Wi-Fi is properly authenticated […]
Introduction Rogue APs are the wireless backdoor attackers don’t have to pick. A consumer router on a free LAN jack, a misconfigured travel AP, or a malicious evil-twin near your office can bypass NAC, leak data, or phish users. In a modern Cisco stack, WLC […]
Introduction Wireless is your largest, noisiest edge—BYOD, guests, contractors, IoT, and traveling staff all converge here. One compromised phone, a malicious hotspot, or a phished laptop can become lateral-movement fuel within minutes. Cisco ISE turns your WLAN into a response fabric: it identifies risky devices […]

Introduction Your guest portal is the front door to your network. If it looks generic, slow, or untrustworthy, users drop off, sponsors get frustrated, and security teams lose visibility. Branding customization in Cisco ISE lets you deliver a fast, mobile-first, compliant captive portal that looks […]
Introduction Social Media Login (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Apple) lets visitors authenticate with an identity they already own, while you still enforce enterprise controls. In Cisco ISE, social login is implemented with standards-based federation (OAuth 2.0 / OIDC or SAML) inside a Guest WebAuth portal. […]

Introduction Guest onboarding is only as strong as your identity proofing. Email is slow, shared codes are risky, and front-desk bottlenecks kill user experience. SMS-based credential delivery / OTP verification in Cisco ISE gives you instant, user-bound verification at the edge of your network: guests […]
Introduction The Sponsor Approval Workflow in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a controlled guest access mechanism where guest account creation must be approved by a designated sponsor before the guest can gain network access. This process ensures: Think of it like a corporate front […]
Introduction The Self-Registration Portal in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a powerful NAC feature that allows visitors to create their own temporary guest accounts before accessing a wireless or wired network. This eliminates the dependency on IT or sponsors for basic guest onboarding, while […]
Introduction Wireless network access control is only as strong as its weakest troubleshooting process. In the real world, even the best-designed Cisco ISE policies fail if engineers cannot quickly diagnose authentication issues, endpoint posture failures, or onboarding errors. Wireless Endpoint Troubleshooting in Cisco ISE is […]
Introduction Guest Wi-Fi is one of the most used features in corporate networks — but also one of the most abused when passwords are poorly managed. Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) provides enterprise-grade controls to manage guest credentials in a secure, auditable, and automated manner. […]
