Cisco Comply-to-Connect (C2C) Training Update
Learn with Cisco is currently updating the Comply-to-Connect (C2C) training, which was originally developed to support the Department of Defense's (DoD) Zero Trust initiative. This comprehensive training is designed to assist various military branches in achieving C2C compliance by implementing Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) aligned with DoD requirements.
The training focuses on the C2C pillars and addresses the process involved in the five steps: discovery and identification, interrogation, automatic remediation, authorization of connection, and policy enforcement with situational awareness.
The Cisco C2C solution supports continuous identification and inventory of all endpoints across wired, wireless, cloud, or offline environments. The training updates will include a comprehensive reporting dashboard provided by Splunk that is designed specifically around C2C visibility and governance.
Training Update Highlights:
* Reporting component will be a Splunk dashboard
* Cisco ISE reporting will no longer be included
* Lab updates for Splunk reporting
