Feature Description
Firewall Features
Cisco TrustSec integration Cisco TrustSec provides an access-control solution that builds upon an existing
identity-aware infrastructure to ensure data confidentiality between network
devices and integrate security access services on one platform. In the Cisco
TrustSec solution, enforcement devices utilize a combination of user attributes
and end-point attributes to make role-based and identity-based access control
decisions.
In this release, the ASA integrates with Cisco TrustSec to provide security
group based policy enforcement. Access policies within the Cisco TrustSec
domain are topology-independent, based on the roles of source and destination
devices rather than on network IP addresses.
The ASA can utilize the Cisco TrustSec solution for other types of security
group based policies, such as application inspection; for example, you can
configure a class map containing an access policy based on a security group.
