How a university provides seamless network access from anywhere while maintaining a strong security posture
Indiana State University enhanced its network security and user experience by deploying Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), Secure Firewall, and Platform Exchange Grid. With over 50,000 monthly endpoint connections, ISE provided dynamic visibility, role-based controls, and automated threat containment while maintaining academic freedom. The solution streamlined onboarding, guest access, and policy management, enabling secure, seamless connectivity for over 12,000 students and staff. ISE also supported a smooth transition to remote learning during the pandemic and laid the foundation for zero-trust security by continuously verifying users and endpoints, improving compliance and operational efficiency.
