Course Overview
The Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE) training teaches you to deploy and use Cisco® Identity Services Engine (ISE) v3.x, an identity and access control policy platform that simplifies the delivery of consistent, highly secure access control across wired, wireless, and virtual private network (VPN) connections. This hands-on training provides you with the knowledge and skills to implement and apply Cisco ISE capabilities to support use cases for Zero Trust security posture. These use cases include tasks such as policy enforcement, profiling services, web authentication and guest access services, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), endpoint compliance services, and Terminal Access Controller Access Control Server (TACACS+) device administration. Through hands-on practice via lab exercises, you will learn how to use Cisco ISE to gain visibility into what is happening in your network, streamline security policy management, and contribute to operational efficiency.
This training prepares you for 300-715 SISE v1.1 exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – Security Identity Management Implementation certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Network Professional Security (CCNP SECURITY)
