This week we spent a large amount of time and energy thinking about NAC, ISE & security.
Cisco provides these technologies to us. NAC was revolutionary and decreased our TCM (total cost of management) many-fold. It gave access to clean machines, scanned the unknown and quarantined the dirty ones.
Powerful. Customizable. Consistent.
Yet, the world turns. Technology advances, evolves. And ISE breaks onto the scene. NAC? No problem. Radius? TACACS? No problem. Absolute flexibility and control? Easy. Unified interface. And best of all – very “cheap” migration path from our existing NAC solution. If only we had Cisco at the edge. We’d already have it 🙂 So we work, tweak and design for the future.
The future is ISE.
The future is soon.
