About This Product

Overview

Intrusion Prevention for the Cisco ASA 5500-X Series

As users and data leave the corporate boundary and the network access layer becomes more porous, traditional signature technology alone will not suffice. Only Cisco® intrusion prevention (IPS) technology, backed by Cisco Security Intelligence Operations (SIO), identifies and mitigates attackers and attacks up to Layer 7 with market-leading, context-aware threat prevention that augments your firewall and VPN deployment.

The Cisco ASA 5500-X Series IPS Solution scales from the Cisco Borderless Network Architecture to data center architectures, with integrated form factors ranging from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps. Strong default efficacy allows you to install a device and secure your network immediately. Achieve full visibility across your network with Cisco Security Manager to mitigate risk and meet compliance - all while reducing your expenses.
