Industry Leading Intrusion Prevention

Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) 4200 Series Sensors are a core component of the Cisco Intrusion Prevention System solution, which also includes the Cisco ASA 5500 with AIP-SSM, Cisco IDSM-2, Cisco NM-CIDS, and Cisco IOS IPS.

Intelligent Detection and Precision Response

Cisco IPS 4200 Series Sensors accurately identify, classify, and stop malicious activity, including worms, directed attacks, distributed denial of service, reconnaissance, and application abuse.

• Detect threats to intellectual property and customer data, with modular inspection throughout the network stack — from applications to ARP.
• Stop sophisticated attackers, by detecting attacks against vulnerabilities, behavioral anomalies, and evasion.
• Prevent threats with confidence, using the industry’s most comprehensive set of prevention actions.
• Focus your threat response, with dynamic threat ratings and detailed logging.

Performance and Flexibility

The variety of appliances and configuration options available enable you to select the right performance for your needs, at a reasonable price.

• Design your IPS for your network, with full inspection at up to 4Gbps, and a variety of high-density copper and fiber interface options.
• Deploy IPS to fit your policy, whether you deploy inline, promiscuous, both at the same time, or even inline-on-a-stick.
• Minimize the cost and complexity of protection, using your current VLAN configuration, and unique, industry-leading virtualization capabilities.

Policy-Based Management

Cisco IPS 4200 Series Sensors reduce the time and effort required to implement and update security measures, using management and correlation tools that focus on policy, yet provide the granularity you need to fine-tune.

• Increase your security visibility and define your inspection policy out of the box, with integrated graphical management and event viewing tools.
• Achieve a unified, end-to-end approach to security Incident Management, with Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (MARS).
• Reduce the cost of Change and Configuration Management activities, using the Cisco Security Manager (CSM) to update policies on thousands of devices in a few simple steps.
