Introduction Wireless profiling in Cisco ISE fingerprints devices (OS, vendor, type) and classifies them so your authorization rules can apply the right VLAN/dACL/SGT automatically. Today you’ll enable profiler probes, wire them to a 9800-CL WLC, build custom profiling policies, and finally enforce access based on […]
Introduction Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) is the brain behind Cisco’s Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs). By integrating FMC with Cisco ISE using pxGrid, you allow FMC to consume contextual identity and group information (like usernames, endpoints, SGTs, compliance posture, threat scores).This enables dynamic policy enforcement on […]
Introduction Cisco TrustSec (CTS) extends identity-based access control to the wireless network, ensuring that security group policies follow users regardless of where or how they connect. In a wireless environment, the challenge is higher: clients roam between access points, switch between VLANs, and scale into […]

Introduction In today’s enterprise networks, passwords are the weakest link. They get reused, stolen, phished, and brute-forced — and once they’re compromised, your wireless network is wide open. Even with strong 802.1X + EAP-PEAP deployments, a single credential leak can let an attacker in from […]
Introduction In today’s hybrid workspace, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is no longer optional — employees, contractors, and guests all bring their own laptops to connect to corporate resources. Over wired connections, onboarding BYOD devices is trickier than wireless because physical switch ports require 802.1X/MAB […]
Introduction Wired Endpoint Posture Compliance in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is where network access control meets endpoint security hygiene. It’s not enough to just identify and authenticate a device — in modern enterprise networks, you must ensure it’s secure before allowing access to sensitive […]
