Cisco ISE + Pxgrid


PxGrid can change how the investment in Cisco ISE really delivers value. In many organizations, Cisco ISE is used only at the moment a device connects to the network. If it passes the check, access is granted 👍 If not, access is denied ❌ And that’s where ISE’s role often ends. But real security issues usually appear after a device is already connected. Imagine a laptop that connects normally in the morning 🙂 Later in the day, security software flags the same laptop as risky ⚠️ In a typical setup: • An alert is raised • A ticket is created • Someone investigates • Access is changed manually That takes time ⏳ With pxGrid, this flow can be automatic 🔄 pxGrid allows security tools to share real-time risk information with ISE. When the laptop’s risk level changes, ISE is informed immediately. What can happen next: • The active session is re-checked • Access is reduced or restricted • The device is moved to a quarantine network 🚧 No disconnect. No waiting. No manual action. This is where ISE shows its real strength. Not just answering “Can this device connect?” But continuously deciding “What should this device be allowed to do right now?” That’s how Zero Trust becomes practical and how pxGrid helps unlock the full value of ISE.
