Cbt Nuggets Cisco — Ise ((full))
CBT Nuggets' training for Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) stands out for its comprehensive hands-on virtual labs
- TrustSec (Security Groups): Instead of using complex ACLs on every router/switch, you tag traffic with SGTs (Scalable Group Tags). You can then write a single policy in ISE (e.g., "HR can talk to Payroll") that is enforced everywhere.
- BYOD (Bring Your Own Device): Focuses on Onboarding (using the My Devices portal) and ensuring personal devices have certificates before joining the network.
- Guest Access: Creating portals for visitors (Captive Portals). The training emphasizes configuring Sponsor Portals (where employees create guest accounts) vs. Guest Portals (where guests log in).
- Posture: Checking the health of a device after it connects. Does it have antivirus? Is the firewall on?
Whether you are aiming for the CCNP Security (300-715 SNCF) certification or simply need to secure your corporate network from rogue IoT devices, CBT Nuggets transforms Cisco ISE from a dreaded project into a manageable, even enjoyable, tool. cbt nuggets cisco ise
