Hi gentlemen,
What do these terms do? 1. dot1x 2. Posture Assessment
Can FirePower do what ISE does?
Thanks

It's probably a matter of opinon and experience on which is more complex to configure. Posture assessment is more secure, it is usually configured to compliment 802.1x. Without 802.1x you authenticate the user to the network, combine that with posture assessment you determine whether the user is authenticating to the network using a laptop that complies with the organisation's security policy (i.e. is AV, AM or FW installed and running).
Refer to the Posture configuration guide for more information.
Client provisioning is used to deploy the agent to the connecting devices.

Hi,
802.1X is used to authenticate devices/users to a wired or wireless network.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1X
Posture assessment is used in ISE to determine the state of a device, for example whether it is running Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware or Personal firewall before permitted access to the network.
No Firepower is a Firewall, this is a separate solution to ISE, it does not perform 802.1x authentication.
