Posture assessment is a feature of Cisco ISE that allows you to check the compliance of endpoints with corporate security policies before allowing them to access the network1. Posture assessment can detect missing patches on endpoints and help with remediation by applying the appropriate posture policy and requirement2. Posture assessment can also check for the presence and status of security software, such as antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and so on3. Posture assessment is one of the core security technologies covered in the Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) course4, which prepares you for the Cisco CCNP Security and CCIE Security certifications and for senior-level security roles. References: 1: Posture Service 2: Configure Posture Policies 3: Posture Conditions 4: Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) v1.0

A simple custom detection list is a feature of AMP for Endpoints that allows you to specify a list of file hashes (MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256) that you want to detect, block, and quarantine on your endpoints. You can create a simple custom detection list from the Outbreak Control section of the AMP for Endpoints console, and apply it to a policy that is assigned to your endpoints. When the AMP connector on the endpoint encounters a file that matches the hash in the list, it will perform the action that you specified, such as blocking the file execution, sending an alert, or quarantining the file. A simple custom detection list is useful when you want to quickly and easily block specific files that are known to be malicious or unwanted, without having to create a complex signature or rule12 References := 1: Configure a Simple Custom Detection List on the AMP for Endpoints Portal 2: Create an Advanced Custom Detection List in Cisco Secure Endpoint

Dual-SSID BYOD is the term for when an endpoint is associated to a provisioning WLAN that is shared with guest access, and the same guest portal is used as the BYOD portal. This flow is a unique capability of ISE where the user does not have to log in twice, as ISE can take the user information from the 802.1X session and direct the user to the BYOD flow. Once the endpoint is onboarded, it is reconnected to the secured WLAN for full network access. This flow is different from single-SSID BYOD, where the endpoint associates to a secure WLAN, gets onboarded, and then reconnects to the same WLAN12. References: 1: ISE BYOD: Dual vs. Single SSID Onboarding - Cisco Community 2: Cisco ISE BYOD Prescriptive Deployment Guide - Cisco Community
