Overview
Course Overview
The Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE v5.0) training teaches you to deploy, configure, and operate Cisco® Identity Services Engine (ISE) as the central platform for identity-based access control. Learning begins with the core architecture and installation and progresses through network access control, identity stores, policy design, and day-to-day operations. You will learn how to configure authentication and authorization policies, create scalable guest onboarding workflows, integrate network devices, and apply identity-based access decisions across wired and wireless environments. It also covers endpoint profiling, posture assessment, Terminal Access Controller Access Control Server (TACACS+) device administration, TrustSec concepts, certificate management, lifecycle operations, and advanced administration practices. The labs provide you with practical experience in Cisco ISE personas, certificate-based authentication, TEAP (EAP Chaining), Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) onboarding, device profiling, guest services, and policy enforcement in real-world environments. A wide range of use cases are covered, including 802.1X, MAB, and certificate provisioning. As a result of this training, you will be able to design, implement, and operate a Cisco ISE deployment that meets modern enterprise requirements for identity, security, visibility, and access control.
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 (CCNP) Security certification. This training also earns you 32 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
