Product Migration Options

There is no replacement available for the Cisco Incident Control System (ICS) at this time. However, we recommend that customers optimize their IPS deployment by leveraging the Cisco Services for IPS and IntelliShield Alert Manager Services. Combined, these services offer IPS customers day-zero threat signature support which bolsters their existing deployment and can greatly reduce the time it takes to respond to an event.
