Assessment Title
Rule Text
The Cisco ISE must authenticate all endpoint devices before establishing a connection and proceeding with posture assessment. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 4.
Description
Discussion Text
Without authenticating devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. However, failure to authenticate an endpoint does not need to result in connection termination or preclude compliance assessment. This is particularly true for unmanaged systems or when the Cisco ISE is performing network discovery.
Authentication methods for NAC on access switches are MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB), or 802.1x.
