Cisco Secure Access Control Solution Engine
The Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine is a highly secure, OS-independent, and dedicated
platform that offers a highly manageable access control solution with an increasingly reduced
setup and troubleshooting time. It provides plug-and-play deployment, a highly reliable
authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) solution, and increased total cost of
ownership (TCO) protection. A Cisco Secure ACS remote agent is available with each Cisco
Secure ACS Solution Engine to enable remote logging and Windows authentication.
