Context Visibility is really slick.  I really like the new UI as well.  I'm glad to see Cisco is enhancing ISE.  Can you create integration with Rapid7 Nexpose or MetaSploit?

[Jeffrey Jones]

Rapid7 intergration was brought up at Cisco Live in 2015, but nothing has ever become of it.

[thomas]

Please see our list of EcoSystem Partners which includes Rapid7.

You may need to ask them which version(s) of their product(s) support integration with ISE.

[Jeffrey Jones]

Cisco ISE integration with Rapid 7 Network Vulnerabiility Assesment promotes the increase in accurate endpoint vulnerability remediation, and a decrease in response time, but still no integration
