What Is ISE?

A product called Identity Services Engine (ISE) is an identity and access control policy platform that can validate that a computer meets the requirements of a company’s policy related to virus definition files, service pack levels, and so on before allowing the device on the network. This solution leverages many AAA-like (authentication, authorization, and accounting) features, but is not a 100 percent replacement for ACS.
