SISE
Class Overview
Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine
The Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (or SISE) class shows you how to deploy and use Cisco® Identity Services Engine (ISE), an identity and access control policy platform that simplifies the delivery of consistent, highly secure access control across wired, wireless, and VPN connections.
This 5-day, hands-on class provides you with the knowledge and skills to implement and use Cisco ISE, including policy enforcement, profiling services, web authentication and guest access services, BYOD, endpoint compliance services, and TACACS+ device administration.
Through expert instruction and hands-on practice, 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 class also prepares you for the Cisco SISE exam, which earns you the Cisco Certified Specialist - Security Identity Management Implementation certification.

Describe concepts and configure components related to 802.1X and MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) authentication, identity management, and certificate services.
Describe how Cisco ISE policy sets are used to implement authentication and authorization, and how to leverage this capability to meet the needs of your organization.
Describe third-party Network Access Devices (NADs), Cisco TrustSec®, and Easy Connect.
Describe and configure web authentication, processes, operation, and guest services, including guest access components and various guest access scenarios.
Describe and configure Cisco ISE profiling services and understand how to monitor these services to enhance your situational awareness about network-connected endpoints.
Describe best practices for deploying this profiler service in your specific environment.
Describe BYOD challenges, solutions, processes, and portals. Configure a BYOD solution and describe the relationship between BYOD processes and their related configuration components.
Describe and configure various certificates related to a BYOD solution.
Describe the value of the My Devices portal and how to configure this portal.
