ModernISE Platform: Cisco ISE without the Overhead

ModernISE Platform: Cisco ISE, Without the Operational Burden

Cisco ISE is one of the most powerful platforms for secure access control and network visibility, yet managing the solution can be complex and resource-intensive.

That’s why ModernCyber introduced ModernISE Platform, our fully managed ISE-as-a-Service offering. ModernISE Platform delivers an always up-to-date, globally available, scalable, and SLA-backed Cisco ISE environment - without the burden of managing infrastructure.

With ModernISE Platform, organizations gain secure access control and network device administration anywhere in the world, while eliminating the operational complexity that has traditionally made ISE difficult to own and operate.

Built From Real-World ISE Experience

ModernCyber is a Professional Services organization deeply focused on Cisco ISE. In just the past three years, we’ve completed 120+ successful ISE implementations, on top of the extensive experience our engineering team brings from years of prior deployments.

Across those projects, our engineers consistently ran into the same challenges - Regardless of customer size or industry. The ModernISE Platform was purpose-built to solve those exact problems.

The Reality of Managing Cisco ISE

There’s no question that Cisco ISE is a powerful solution. But it’s also notoriously complex to deploy, manage, and maintain.

Many organizations struggle with:

• Limited headcount or ISE expertise

• Delayed software upgrades and certificate renewals

• Difficulty aligning deployments with best practices

• Upgrade cycles that take days—and disrupt operations

As a result, upgrades often get postponed until the last possible moment, increasing risk and operational stress.

In other cases, ISE environments become held together with temporary fixes - Deployments that work just enough to keep users connected, but not well enough to justify a full redesign. Over time, these band-aid solutions compound technical debt and security risk.

For some organizations, the cost of maintaining ISE hardware alone outweighs their ability to properly staff and support the platform. And for greenfield customers, ISE’s perceived complexity and ongoing maintenance can become a barrier to adoption - Preventing them from fully realizing the security and visibility benefits ISE provides.

A Simpler, Smarter Way to Run Cisco ISE

The ModernISE Platform directly addresses these challenges with a fully managed, cloud-delivered Cisco ISE infrastructure.

With ModernISE, customers benefit from:

• 20–40% reduction in total cost of ownership

• Elimination of up to $150K in capital expenditures

• Deployments completed up to 10x faster

• No hardware to maintain or refresh

• No data center costs, rack space, power, or cooling

• No RMA downtime or hardware failure risk

All the hidden costs and operational headaches of on-prem ISE simply disappear.

Flexible Service Tiers to Fit Your Needs

ModernISE Platform offers three service tiers, giving organizations the flexibility to choose:

• Single-region or multi-region deployments

• Enhanced SLA options

• Optional ISE design, deployment, and configuration support

Whether you’re modernizing an existing deployment or adopting ISE for the first time, ModernISE scales with your requirements.

With the ModernISE Platform, organizations can finally harness the full power of Cisco ISE - Without the overhead.
