Slough, UK, 20th March 2012 – To support
the expanding role of access control solutions that leverage the
intelligence of the network, Logicalis UK Ltd announced today that
it has achieved Identity
Services Engine (ISE) Authorised Technology Provider (ATP)
status from Cisco. This designation recognises Logicalis UK as
having fulfilled the training requirements and program
prerequisites to sell, deploy and support Cisco ISE products and
solutions.
The Cisco ISE platform is a
comprehensive, next-generation, contextually-based access control
solution that offers exceptional visibility and control to ensure a
highly secure enterprise and efficiently enforce security policy
across an entire distributed network. The Cisco ISE offers
authenticated network access, profiling, posture, and guest
management along with monitoring, reporting and troubleshooting
capabilities on a single physical or virtual appliance. The Cisco
ISE enables scalable and flexible enforcement mechanisms leveraging
existing identity-aware network infrastructure, and ships on a wide
range of physical appliances with different performance settings to
address multiple deployment requirements.
Tom Kelly, Managing Director of
Logicalis UK commented, “Adoption of consumer devices; mobile
phones, tablets etc for business use is already challenging the
status quo in terms of secure enterprise application delivery.”
Kelly continues, “Logicalis UK is extremely proud to have achieved
Identity Services Engine (ISE) Authorised Technology Provider (ATP)
status from Cisco. This demonstrates the commitment of Logicalis UK
to ISE technology and products. As one of the few Cisco Gold
Partners in the UK to have achieved this status Logicalis UK can
provide ISE based security solutions for wired and wireless
infrastructures providing our clients with a strategy for
BYOD.”
The Cisco ATP program is part of
the go-to-market strategy for Cisco ISE solutions. The program
helps define the knowledge, skills and services that channel
partners need to successfully sell, deploy and
support ISE solutions.
