Overview

Cisco ISE provides companies with valuable visibility into their network.  Administrators can control access to their wired and wireless network infrastructure through comprehensive security policies around authentication, authorization, accounting, posture, and profiling.

By implementing a network access control solution at the financial institution, the NetVoiX team was able to integrate a variety of security mechanisms to help strengthen the integrity of their wired network.

The established trusted relationship and the comprehensive knowledge of Cisco ISE were key for this financial institution in choosing NetVoiX as their IT provider for the architecture, implementation, and support of their network access control solution.

Challenge

Financial institutions must ensure that they have reliable security mechanisms to protect sensitive information and prevent data corruption while maintaining data confidentiality.  The need to enhance the security of the endpoints that employees use for work has fast-forwarded due to the transition of workforce arrangements.

Solutions

Implementing Cisco ISE for the financial institution provided the foundation for secure network access and a robust and centralized identity management solution for all network devices and users.  NetVoiX partnered with the financial institution to implement wired network access control policies for their new headquarters.

By integrating Cisco ISE with Active Directory, we provide the customer with a single source of truth for user identity.  Each user would then authenticate based on the group(s) the user belongs to and be granted network privileges accordingly.  With the level of sensitive information in the financial institution’s network, we needed not to rely solely on user credentials for authentication, so we implemented certification authentication to validate the identity of both the user and the device.

Results

Cisco ISE brought our customers a new level of user and device visibility.  Valuable information such as who is connected, from where, and what policies are being enforced allowed our customers to easily troubleshoot and identify devices struggling to authenticate and proactively react to devices not compliant with corporate policies.

Cisco ISE provides companies with valuable visibility into their network.  Administrators can control access to their wired and wireless network infrastructure through defined comprehensive security policies around authentication, authorization, accounting, posture, and profiling.
