ModernISE Platform Is Now Orderable Worldwide on the Cisco Global Price List

Cisco customers can now buy fully managed, cloud-delivered Cisco ISE the same way they buy everything else from Cisco — on a single Cisco purchase order.

We're proud to announce that the ModernISE Platform is now globally available through Cisco's SolutionsPlus program and orderable today on the Cisco Global Price List (GPL) under the top-level SKU MODERN-SPLUS-SUB.

That's a short sentence with a lot behind it. Here's what it means — for Cisco customers, for Cisco account teams, and for channel partners.

What Cisco SolutionsPlus means

Cisco SolutionsPlus is a select group of best-in-class third-party solutions that complement Cisco's own portfolio. Getting there isn't a paperwork exercise: SolutionsPlus offers earn their place through sponsorship by a Cisco business unit that sees real value in the solution, and they're vetted against Cisco's standards for quality and compatibility before they ever reach the price list.

For ModernCyber, inclusion in SolutionsPlus is validation of what our customers already know: ModernISE is the fastest, most reliable way to run Cisco ISE in production. For Cisco customers, it means you can now procure ModernISE through your existing Cisco relationship — your Cisco account manager, your usual channel partner, your standard Cisco ordering tools — with no new vendor onboarding and no separate contract cycle like any other Cisco SKU for the account teams and partners who bring it to you.

What ModernISE Platform is

ModernISE Platform is cloud-delivered, fully managed Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) as-a-Service. We run the infrastructure, upgrades, patching, certificates, backups, and health of your ISE deployment inside a secure, dedicated enclave — so your team stops doing ISE InfraOps and focuses on what ISE is actually for: access control, comply-to-connect, zero trust, and segmentation.

Every tier of the platform includes:

• A secure, dedicated enclave — single-tenant, with data sovereignty across 35+ regions worldwide
• Zero-downtime software and hardware upgrades — no more patch-weekend fire drills
• Automatic certificate creation and renewal — the outage everyone has had, eliminated
• Continuous ISE health assessments plus backup storage and management
• 24/7/365 support from the deepest Cisco ISE bench in the partner ecosystem

And it's fast: a production-ready ISE environment is typically live in 60–90 minutes from activation, not weeks. The platform supports bring-your-own-license (BYOL) flexibility, new deployments, and migrations from existing ISE clusters alike.

What's on the price list

All subscriptions are ordered under the top-level MODERN-SPLUS-SUB, in three service tiers:

Each tier is sized 1 through 5 by concurrent sessions — from 12,500 up to 300,000 — with optional add-ons including a hosted Cisco ISE lab (MC-MODISEPL-LAB) and additional ISE nodes. Terms are 12 or 36 months.

Ordering is five questions

If you can configure a Cisco subscription, you can configure ModernISE. In Cisco Commerce, search for MODERN-SPLUS-SUB and answer five things:

1. Which service tier — Essentials, Advantage, or Premier
2. How many concurrent sessions you expect
3. Whether you want a lab environment
4. Whether you need additional ISE nodes (Policy, pxGrid, etc.)
5. 12-month or 36-month term

That's it. Your Cisco account team or partner can quote it today, and ModernCyber is glad to help scope the right tier and sizing before you order — reach us at sales@moderncyber.com.

Why this matters

Network access control is a 25-year-old problem that too many teams still solve with hand-fed, pet infrastructure. ModernISE turns ISE into what it should have been all along: a managed service you consume, not a platform you babysit. Putting it on the Cisco GPL removes the last point of friction — procurement — so the distance between "we should fix NAC" and "ISE is running in production" is now measured in hours, on paper you already have in place.

This is also a milestone in our partnership with Cisco. ModernCyber was built around Cisco Security from day one — Cisco Advisor Partner, MINT partner, Cisco Press authors, 3,500+ engineers trained across 95+ organizations. SolutionsPlus deepens that alliance, and we're just getting started.
