Capabilities
ISE touches identity, switching, wireless, certificates, Active Directory, VPN, device administration, and business-critical access. Vertigo Security approaches ISE as part of the larger network rather than treating it as an isolated appliance.
Plan ISE deployments around scale, personas, resiliency, geographic distribution, authentication load, operational requirements, and future growth.
Assess deployment architecture, node health, sizing, policy design, certificates, identity sources, integrations, authentication flows, resiliency, and operational risk.
Develop upgrade and migration strategies designed to reduce business risk, including version upgrades, hardware refreshes, virtual migrations, node replacements, and staged cutovers.
Implement and troubleshoot RADIUS, 802.1X, MAB, profiling, authorization policy, wired and wireless access, Active Directory integration, and certificate-based authentication.
Use Cisco ISE to centralize administrative access to network infrastructure with authentication, authorization, command controls, accounting, and migration planning.
Investigate authentication failures, policy behavior, latency, certificates, integrations, performance issues, and complex problems that cross ISE and the surrounding network.
Experience at Different Scales
There is no single ISE architecture that fits every organization. Smaller deployments often need a straightforward, supportable design without unnecessary complexity. Large enterprises may require multiple personas, geographically distributed nodes, high authentication volumes, load balancing, extensive integrations, and carefully planned maintenance strategies.
Vertigo Security brings more than 20 years of enterprise networking and security experience and hands-on Cisco ISE expertise across environments of different sizes. Recommendations are based on the requirements and risks of your environment rather than a one-size-fits-all template.
Engagements
An engagement does not need to become a large professional-services project. Vertigo Security can assist with a specific problem, review a planned change, or work through a larger ISE initiative.
Work through a difficult authentication, authorization, certificate, integration, or performance problem with experienced ISE assistance.
Get an independent review before a deployment, upgrade, migration, or major policy change and identify risks before they become production issues.
Add specialized ISE expertise to an internal team for planning, implementation, migration, validation, documentation, or knowledge transfer.
