To support the expanding role of access control solutions that leverage the intelligence of the network, ABS Technology Architects (ABS) announces that it has achieved Identity Services Engine (ISE) Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) status from Cisco. This designation recognizes ABS as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support Cisco ISE products and solutions.

The Cisco ISE platform is a comprehensive, next-generation, contextually based access control solution that offers exceptional visibility and control to ensure a highly secure enterprise and efficiently enforce security policy across an entire distributed network. The Cisco ISE offers authenticated network access, profiling, posture, and guest management along with monitoring, reporting and troubleshooting capabilities on a single physical or virtual appliance. The Cisco ISE enables scalable and flexible enforcement mechanisms leveraging existing identity-aware network infrastructure, and ships on a wide range of physical appliances with different performance settings to address multiple deployment requirements.

“ABS is honored to be named a Cisco Identity Services Engine ATP Partner,” said Walker Dorroh, CEO of ABS. “With this certification, ABS will continue to provide its clients with the most advanced solutions in Borderless Networking, Collaboration and Data Centers.”

The Cisco ATP program is part of the go-to-market strategy for Cisco ISE solutions. The program helps define the knowledge, skills and services that channel partners need to successfully sell, deploy and support ISE solutions. Already a Cisco Gold Certified Partner, this designation allows ABS to sell, design, install and support the new Identity Services Engine security solutions from Cisco.
