This combination of features makes Cisco ISE Advanced an essential component of modern zero-trust and security-by-design strategies.

In addition to strong core capabilities, the Advanced license supports enhanced device profiling, richer posture assessment, and more extensive policy options that enable precise control over who or what can access your network. From healthcare to financial services, organizations rely on Cisco ISE to help meet regulatory requirements and maintain a robust security posture while enabling secure collaboration and productivity for their users.

• Centralized access control and policy enforcement: Cisco ISE Advanced consolidates authentication, authorization, and device profiling to deliver consistent security posture across wired, wireless, and VPN connections. It enables you to define dynamic access policies based on user identity, device posture, location, and network segment, ensuring that only compliant and trusted devices gain access to sensitive resources.
• Comprehensive device profiling and posture assessment: The Advanced license expands device profiling capabilities and posture checks, allowing your security team to identify devices, operating systems, and security health before granting access. This enables proactive remediation and reduces the attack surface by enforcing posture requirements such as up-to-date antivirus, firewall settings, and missing patches as a condition of access.
• Granular guest access and BYOD management: Manage guest users and bring-your-own-device scenarios with controlled access, captive portals, and time-bound policies. Senior IT leaders can provide a smooth guest experience without compromising internal security, while still enforcing device and user requirements.
• Scalable security across the Cisco ecosystem: Seamless integration with Cisco SecureX, ASA, Meraki, and other Cisco security products enables centralized visibility and coordinated responses. This interoperability helps reduce mean time to detect and respond to threats, while simplifying policy administration across an expanding network.
• Renewal-friendly subscription model and continuous updates: A 1-year subscription with automatic renewal options provides predictable budgeting, ongoing access to the latest security features and compatibility updates, and simplified license management for growing organizations.
