Cisco ISE and FIPS-Compliance
This release of the supported Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE-3300 series) appliances are non-FIPS
compliant Linux-based network hardware platforms. In Release 1.0, the Cisco ISE operating system
comprises a hardened Linux kernel based on CentOS 5.3, and runs the Application Deployment Engine
operating system (ADE-OS) version 2.0 and the Cisco ISE Release 1.0 system software.
The ADE-OS and Cisco ISE system software run on either a dedicated Cisco Identity Services Engine
appliance or on a VMware server (Cisco ISE-VM-K9). Cisco ISE does not support the installation of
any other packages or applications on this dedicated platform. FIPS 140-2 compliance will be addressed
in future releases of Cisco ISE.
Cisco ISE Release 1.0 only supports installations on the following Cisco ISE 3300-series appliance
platforms:
• ISE-3315
• ISE-3355
