NAC Network Modules

I just wanted to give everyone the update on the NEW NME-NAC-K9 module. They are supported as of version 4.1(2). The Cisco NAC Network Module (NME-NAC-K9) implements the Clean Access Server functionality on the next generation service module for the Cisco 2811/2821/2851 and 3825/3845 access routers. The NAC network module is pre-installed with Cisco NAC Appliance software release 4.1(2) (or later), with the Clean Access Server software running as the application code. The Clean Access Server operating system is based on an optimized version of Linux. The NAC network module is an ideal NAC solution for small groups of users in remote locations where an integrated services router is used. The NAC network module can be equipped with either a 50-user or 100-user license to support branch offices.

The following are some documents to get you started with the new NAC Network Module:

Cisco Zero Trust Architecture

 As a follow up to the previous post around Zero Trust Architecture , Cisco has been delivering zero trust architectures for customers for many years. With the platform approach provided by Cisco Zero Trust organizations gain better visibility across users, devices, containers, networks, and applications, verifying their security states with every access request. Adopting this model provides a balance between security and usability. Security teams can make it harder for attackers to collect what they need (user credentials, network access, and the ability to move laterally), and users can get a consistent and more productive security experience, regardless of where they’re located, what endpoints they’re using, or whether their applications are on-premises or in the cloud. Cisco Zero Trust provides a comprehensive approach to securing all access across applications and environment, from any user, device and location. It protects the workforce , workloads and workplac...

Why are Virtual Private Networks and Software Defined Perimeters mutually exclusive?

Increased remote work, vulnerabilities popping up and the #killthevpn movement has the cyber security industry laser focused on the transition from VPN to SDP. Let’s start with an acceptable definition of SDP from Wikipedia: “Software-defined perimeter (SDP) framework was developed by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) to control access to resources based on identity. Connectivity in a Software Defined Perimeter is based on a need-to-know model, in which device posture and identity are verified before access to application infrastructure is granted.” I hope we all can agree that the “ground truth" of SDP is valid and any organizations will benefit by adopting SDP architecture and principals(including Zero Trust). How is a Remote Access VPN any different than the “Client-to-gateway” deployment model defined for SDP? “In the client-to-gateway implementation, one or more servers are protected behind an Accepting SDP Host such that the Accepting SDP Host acts as a gateway between ...

Cisco Releases Idenity Services Engine (AKA ISE)

Introduction After years of innovation around Network Access Control, Cisco has released its next generation NAC solution: Identity Services Engine. ISE is combines existing loosely coupled devices AAA, profiling, posture and guest management - in single, scalability appliance. As part of the Cisco TrustSec solution and Cisco’s SecureX architecture for Borderless Networks, the Cisco Identity Service Engine provides a centralized policy engine for business relevant policy definition and enforcement. This policy work horse enables centralized, coordinated policy creation and consistent policy enforcement across the entire corporate infrastructure, from head office to branch office. ISE Features & Benefits Visibility: Single Platform & Pane of Glass - Let IT see who and what is on the network for advanced discovery and troubleshooting Dynamically collects & consolidates endpoint information to make adaptive policy decisions based on ‘context’ Integrates functions previously d...
