Maryland Health Benefit Exchange

Maryland Health Benefit Exchange MHBE is responsible for the administration of Maryland Health Connection, the state’s health insurance marketplace, under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA). MHBE works with Maryland Department of Health, Maryland Insurance Administration, Department of Human Services and stakeholders statewide.

The MHBE will ensure that all populations can access health coverage by requiring cultural competence in its operations and outreach, and a simplified process to determine eligibility for free or low-cost health insurance.

It is the only place where Marylanders can access financial help to make coverage more affordable. Once an individual or family selects one of the many private health plans or programs that best meets their needs, they may enroll directly through Maryland Health Connection. Small businesses may utilize Maryland Health Connection for Small Business to select plans that meet the needs of their employees and provide tax credits to reduce the cost of employer-sponsored coverage for qualifying businesses.

Identity Services Engine

CISCO – Identity Services Engine

Know and control devices and users on your network. Leverage intel from across your stack to enforce policy, manage endpoints, and deliver trusted access. Multicloud NAC with zero trust makes it possible.

In zero-trust architecture, ISE is the policy decision point. It gathers intel from the stack to authenticate users and endpoints, automatically containing threats.

ISE Resilience

Harness the power of resilience

Resilience begins with secure connections. ISE helps ensure that only trusted users and their devices can access resources across your self-managed network.

ISE Vision

Visibility better than 20/20

Knowing who’s connecting to your network, what devices they’re on, and what connection they’re using is key. ISE uses key intel to automatically identify, classify, and profile devices.

ISE outside box

Think outside the box

Switching from infrastructure in a box to infrastructure as code (IaC) helps preserve business integrity, while aligning access and policy to your strategy and objectives.
