Introduction to Cisco Secure Client Windows ARM64 ISE Compliance Module

The ​​cisco-secure-client-win-arm64-4.3.4015.8192-isecompliance-predeploy-k9.msi​​ represents Cisco’s strategic adaptation to modern enterprise security requirements for ARM64-based Windows devices. As part of the Cisco Secure Client suite, this ISE (Identity Services Engine) Compliance module ensures endpoint devices meet organizational security policies before accessing protected network resources.

Designed for Windows 10/11 ARM64 workstations and Surface Pro X devices, this predeployment package enables centralized IT management through automated policy enforcement. It integrates with Cisco’s Zero Trust Architecture to verify device posture, antivirus status, and OS patch compliance through 256-bit encrypted communication with Cisco ISE servers.

Key Features and Technical Enhancements

1. Enhanced Cryptographic Validation

Implements FIPS 140-3 validated algorithms for compliance checks, including SHA-384 certificate verification and TLS 1.3 handshake optimization for ARM64 processors.

2. Conditional Access Improvements

  • Automatic remediation workflows for 32 common compliance failures (e.g., outdated Windows Defender definitions)
  • Real-time BIOS/firmware integrity verification through TPM 2.0 attestation

3. Performance Optimizations

  • 40% faster policy evaluation cycles compared to x86 versions
  • Reduced memory footprint (85MB average RAM usage)

4. Expanded ISE Integration

Supports new ISE 3.2+ APIs for:

  • Microsoft Pluton security processor validation
  • Windows 11 24H2 security baseline checks
  • Co-management with Microsoft Intune compliance policies
