Question 1

What certification is this Cisco administration course associated with?

Accepted Answer

This course covers the skills and knowledge needed to deploy and use the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), which is what you need to know to pass the CCNP Security concentration exam 300-715 SISE. CCNP Security has two exams – the first is the core exam, related to core security technologies, including security for networks, cloud, and content. Then you choose one of seven concentration exams to specialize your skills and experience.

Question 2

What is an Identity Services Engine?

Accepted Answer

Cisco's Identity Services Engine is a security policy management platform focused on controlling network access. The ISE is a total identity and access solution, protecting networks by authenticating users, devices and connections. The Identity Services Engine manages attributes like user identity, device type, and location. Implementing and configuring the ISE properly ensures secure network access, mitigates threats, and streamlines compliance while improving network visibility and contributing to overall efficiency.

Question 3

What is the Cisco DNA Center and what does it have to do with the Identity Services Engine?

Accepted Answer

Cisco's DNA (Digital Network Architecture) Center is a centralized network management platform. The DNA Center automates network operations and maintenance while generating analytics for human review and provides oversight and assurance capabilities. Cisco DNA Center's main task is network management and orchestration, but it can integrate with Cisco ISE to enhance security by incorporating ISE's identity-based access controls and policy enforcement into the network infrastructure under management.

Question 4

What are the benefits of Cisco DNA & ISE integration?

Accepted Answer

Cisco's Identity Services Engine can operate independently of their Digital Network Architecture manager, but the greatest benefits to network efficiency and security oversight come from integrating the two management tools. For example, with ISE properly configured, it's possible to seamlessly enforce identity-based access policies. On the other side, the generation of operational analytics by the DNA can be automated when it's incorporated with ISE's authentication and authorization capabilities.

Question 5

Who should take this course on implementing and configuring Cisco ISE?

Accepted Answer

Since it's designed to prepare you for one of the CCNP Security's seven concentration exams, anyone who hopes to earn their CCNP Security in the near future should plan on taking this course. In addition to that, security technicians and security engineers who are responsible for network access control solutions and identity-based security policies should take this course. Learning to implement and automate advanced Cisco security settings will drastically improve your job.
