Cisco Intrusion Prevention and Detection

Defend Your Business Against Disruption

The Cisco Self-Defending Network is an architectural solution designed for the evolving security landscape. Security is integrated everywhere and with the help of a lifecycle services approach, enterprises can design, implement, operate and optimize network platforms that defend critical business processes against attack and disruption, protect privacy, and support policy and regulatory compliance controls.

Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response Systems

 

Safeguard Your Network in Depth

Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) sensors protect your network as dedicated appliances, on servers and endpoints, and as service modules on switches, routers, and firewalls.

 

Malicious attacks on business networks grow more sophisticated every day. And the stakes have never been higher. In the face of compliance regulations and consumer privacy laws, business priorities now include minimizing legal liabilities, protecting brand reputation, and safeguarding intellectual property.

 

With more devices and access points on the network than ever, comprehensive security strategies now require defense-in-depth, with security layered across the network, the server, and the endpoints. Cisco IPS sensors can be deployed widely and incrementally: on servers and endpoints, as dedicated appliances, and as service modules on routers, switches, and firewalls. The sensors collaborate and adapt in real time to emerging threats.

Cisco IPS detects and blocks threats using:

  • Extensive behavioral analysis

  • Deep packet inspection

  • Event correlation

  • Policy adjustments

  • Rapid threat responses

Cisco IPS is an integral part of the Cisco Self-Defending Network and Cisco threat control solutions, providing comprehensive, end-to-end protection.

 

Control Real Security Threats

Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response System (MARS) provides security monitoring for network security devices and host applications made by Cisco and other providers.

  • Greatly reduce false positives by providing an end-to-end view of the network

  • Define the most effective mitigation responses by understanding the configuration and topology of your environment

  • Promote awareness of environmental anomalies with Network Behavior Analysis using NetFlow

  • Provide quick and easy access to audit compliance reports with more than 150 ready-to-use customizable reports

  • Make precise recommendations for threat removal, including the ability to visualize the attack path and identify the source of the threat with detailed topological graphs that simplify security response at Layer 2 and above

Cisco Security MARS and Cisco Security Manager are part of the Cisco Security Management Suite, which delivers policy administration and enforcement for the Cisco Self-Defending Network.

 

Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager

 

The Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) delivers world-class security management and monitoring services for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances, Cisco PIX 500 Series Security Appliances (running Cisco PIX Security Appliance Software Version 7.0 or above) and the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Firewall Services Modules (FWSM version 3.1 or above) through an intuitive, easy-to-use Web-based management interface. The Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager accelerates security appliance deployment with intelligent wizards, robust administration tools, and versatile monitoring services. Its secure, Web-based design enables anytime, anywhere access.

Comprehensive and Adaptive Network Protection

Enterprise networks are subject to an ever-increasing number and variety of malicious attacks. The Cisco Intrusion Prevention Solution (IPS) is a comprehensive inline network-based defense system that is designed to accurately identify, classify, and stop malicious traffic, including worms, spyware, adware, network viruses, and application abuse, before they affect your business.

 

As an integral component of the Cisco Self-Defending Network, Cisco IPS delivers market-leading threat protection through unique networkwide integration, collaboration, and adaptation.

 

Integration

Cisco IPS defeats threats from multiple vectors, including network, server, and desktop endpoints. It also:

  • Extends across Cisco platforms, from purpose-built appliances and integrated firewall and IPS devices to service modules for routers and switches

  • Protects the network from policy violations, vulnerability exploitations, and anomalous activity

  • Provides detailed inspection of traffic from Layers 2 through 7—across your network

Collaboration

Cisco IPS employs a unique, system wide security ecosystem that collaborates, assesses, and reacts to threats, delivering superior network scalability and resiliency. This ubiquitous alliance includes:

  • Cross-solution feedback linkages

  • Common policy management

  • Multivendor event correlation

  • Attack path identification

  • Passive/active fingerprinting

  • Host-based IPS collaboration (with Cisco Security Agent)

Adaptation

As your network threat posture changes, Cisco IPS evolves and adapts to stay ahead of the security landscape by:

  • Mitigating threats from known and unknown attacks

  • Providing extensive behavioral analysis, anomaly detection, policy adjustments, and rapid threat response techniques

  • Saving your organization's time, resources, and assets

The resulting comprehensive threat prevention solution provides unmatched end-to-end, day-zero protection of your network. With Cisco IPS, your infrastructure and your business is protected.
