Announcing Cisco ISE 3.1 Release and General Availability

This release radically simplifies deploying ISE and will be the first version to support public cloud platforms natively. As part of our commitment to provide a better overall experience for users at all levels, we’ve focused our efforts on how to simplify the transition to multi-cloud no matter where an organization is in its journey. With the release of Cisco Identity Services (ISE) 3.1, it is now possible for organizations to deploy ISE cloud-natively.

Customers can now deploy ISE from anywhere, in a DevOps manner. Deployments are automated with code using pre-built playbooks in Ansible and Terraform, and the benefits are tremendous. Cloud is driving innovation, and customers require simplicity to combat threats across the complex distributed network. We heard the call, and we have responded.
