Do you have a question about the Cisco TrustSec and is the answer not in the manual?
Category | Network Security |
---|---|
Functionality | Provides role-based access control, network segmentation, and policy enforcement. |
Key Components | Security Group Tags (SGT), Security Exchange Protocol (SXP). |
Authentication Methods | 802.1X, MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB), Web Authentication |
Security Group Tagging (SGT) | Assigns security group tags to users and devices for identity-based segmentation. |
Security Exchange Protocol (SXP) | A protocol used to propagate SGT information across network devices. |
Policy Enforcement | Enforces security policies based on SGTs and SGACLs. |
Benefits | Enhanced security, simplified policy management, and improved compliance. |
Encryption | Supports encryption for data in transit through IPsec and MACsec. |
Scalability | Scalable to large enterprise networks with thousands of devices. |
Compatibility | Compatible with a wide range of Cisco network devices. |
Description | Cisco TrustSec is a security architecture framework designed to build secure networks. It uses identity-based access control to segment the network and enforce policies based on user roles and device types, rather than relying solely on IP addresses. |
