About Cisco pxGrid Cloud

Cisco pxGrid Cloud is a cloud-based solution that enables you to share contextual information between on-premises applications such as Cisco ISE and cloud-based solutions such as Cisco Secure Access without compromising the security of your network.

Cisco pxGrid Cloud offers the following benefits:

  • Plug-and-play deployment without requiring infrastructure changes to your network.
  • Cisco ISE as a single source of truth for endpoint identity by delivering consistent context exchange with on-premise and cloud partners.
  • Enrichment of Software as a Service-based (SaaS-based) security analysis with real-time endpoint context from Cisco ISE.
  • Threat containment by isolating endpoints from the network through actions initiated from the security SaaS solutions.
