Explanation

Cisco ISE Plus includes Profiling and feed services (B) - enabling device profiling with automatic feed updates from Cisco - and Cisco pxGrid (D) - the platform exchange grid that allows ISE to share context (identity, posture, threat data) with third-party security tools.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Threat Centric NAC): This belongs to the Apex license, which handles advanced threat integration with tools like Rapid Threat Containment.
• C (Guest management): This is a Base license feature - basic guest portals are included at the lowest tier.
• E (Basic network access AAA / 802.1X): Also Base license - foundational RADIUS-based authentication is always the starting point.

Memory tip: Think of licenses in ascending capability - Base = "let people in" (AAA, 802.1X, guest), Plus = "know who they are and share that info" (Profiling + pxGrid), Apex = "respond to threats" (TC-NAC, posture). If a feature is about identifying devices or integrating with other platforms, it's Plus.
