Asimily adds SGACL support for Cisco ISE

Asimily expanded its Network Access Control (NAC) segmentation intelligence, enabling organizations to translate connected-device context into enforceable security policies.

The announcement arrived as organizations shifted focus from device visibility toward measurable risk reduction. A KLAS Research report on healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) security rated Asimily highest among evaluated vendors for ROI and found buyers prioritized reducing manual effort, accelerating remediation, and integrating with broader security workflows; the report also identified AI-driven automation and microsegmentation as top current priorities named by healthcare leaders.

The release described new Security Group Access Control List (ACL) (SGACL) support for Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). Asimily said its platform provided deep device inventory and classification across IT, IoT, Operational technology (OT), and IoMT and delivered AI-driven vulnerability prioritization, multiple remediation pathways including segmentation and patching, segmentation intelligence for NAC platforms including Cisco ISE, packet capture, configuration control, and integrated workflows.

Asimily built the SGACL integration on its longstanding ISE integration and said the work allowed Cisco ISE customers to automatically apply security group policies based on Asimily’s device classification, behavioral analysis, and risk prioritization. The company said this operationalized ISE and reduced risk across complex IT, IoT, OT, and IoMT environments.

“Visibility alone has never been enough to move security programs forward,” said Shankar Somasundaram, CEO, Asimily.

The company said it remained focused on delivering complete risk mitigation capabilities that evolve with customer needs and would not pivot to serve a parent company’s platform strategy.
