I'm going to go over integration ISE 2.1 and Stealthwatch via pxGrid with self-signed certificates. I personally like using CA-Signed certificates for my deployment because if I ever need to rebuild an ISE instance or pxGrid client, it's extremely easy to get it up and running again with a CA-signed certificate but this isn't always the ideal situation for everyone. For those without a PKI infrastructure or for lab environments, it's pretty easy to set up pxGrid integration without an external PKI infrastructure.
I'm going to go through the configuration of Firepower v6.0.x for pxGrid integration with ISE using self-signed certificates. We went through the configuration of Firepower with CA-signed certificates in a previous post and you'll see that the configuration is very similar to that in this post.
In a previous blog post, I configured pxGrid integration with StealthWatch and ISE using a CA-Signed certificate. In this blog post, I'm going to go through the configuration using self-signed certificates to enable StealthWatch to mitigate threats on the network using ISE.
In this post, I'm going to go through the configuration of Firepower v6.0.x for pxGrid integration with ISE using CA-signed certificates. In future posts, I'm planning on going through the configuration for both Firepower 5.4 and 6.0 using both self-signed and CA-signed certificates. The reason I plan on doing that is because they are slightly different and it's important to know this.
This blog post is going to be going over integration ISE 2.1 and WSA via pxGrid with CA-signed certificates. I personally like using CA-Signed certificates for my deployment because if I ever need to rebuild an ISE instance or pxGrid client, it's extremely easy to get it up and running again with a CA-signed certificate.
In this blog post, I'll go over StealthWatch and ISE integration with pxGrid. With this integration, ISE will share contextual information such as username and device information with StealthWatch and it adds the ability to do rapid threat containment to quarantine misbehaving endpoints. I'm going to use a CA-signed certificate in this post and later I'll add a post with self-signed certificates.
In this post, I'm going to go through Rapid Threat Containment utilizing both ISE and Firepower. The pre-requirements in order to do this is to have configured pxGrid between ISE and the Firepower Management Center (FMC) prior. If you would like to know how to do so, I went over how to do it with self-signed certificates in this post here or CA-signed certificates in this post here.
