Cisco ASA 5500 Series Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module and Cisco ASA 5500 Series Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Card [Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances]

The Cisco® Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module (AIP SSM) and the Cisco® Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Card (AIP SSC) for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance provide proactive, full-featured intrusion prevention services to stop malicious traffic, including worms and network viruses, before they can affect your network.

Security Services Module

Providing unparalleled protection for an organization's critical information assets, the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance provides best-in-class firewall and VPN capabilities in a single, easy-to-deploy platform. When combined with the advanced inspection capabilities of the AIP SSM or AIP SSC, the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance provides integrated, converged protection of an organization's servers and infrastructure without compromising the ability to use the network as a business tool.

AIP-SSM Intrusion Prevention Services

Cisco AIP SSM and AIP SSC combine inline prevention services with innovative technologies to improve accuracy. The result is total confidence in the protection offered by your intrusion prevention system (IPS) solution, without the fear of legitimate traffic being dropped. When deployed within Cisco ASA 5500 Series appliances, the AIP SSM and AIP SSC offer comprehensive protection of your IPv6 and IPv4 networks by collaborating with other network security resources, providing a proactive approach to protecting your network.

The Cisco AIP SSM and AIP SSC help users stop threats with greater confidence through the use of:

• Complete IPS capabilities: The Cisco AIP SSM delivers the complete IPS capabilities available on Cisco IPS 4200 Series Sensors. The Cisco AIP SSM can be deployed inline of the traffic path, or in promiscuous mode, whereby a copy of the traffic is sent to the Cisco AIP SSM for inspection.

• Global Correlation: The Cisco AIP SSM provides organizations with unprecedented accuracy, visibility, and response time in addressing security threats. Global Correlation for IPS provides real-time updates on the global threat environment beyond the perimeter by adding reputation analysis, reducing the window of threat exposure, and providing continuous feedback. With these new capabilities, Cisco AIP SSM can detect more threats, detect them earlier and more accurately, and protect critical assets from malicious attacks. Global Correlation is not available on AIP SSC.

• Comprehensive and timely attack protection: The Cisco AIP SSM and AIP SSC provide proven protection against tens of thousands of known exploits and millions more potential unknown exploit variants. This protection is delivered using specialized IPS detection engines and thousands of signatures. Cisco Services for IPS provides signature updates by a global intelligence team working 24 hours a day to help ensure that you are protected against the latest threats.

• Day-zero attack protection: The Cisco AIP SSM provides powerful protection against day-zero attacks with Cisco anomaly detection. It learns the normal behavior on your network and alerts you when it sees anomalous activities in your network. Cisco anomaly protection helps protect you against new threats before signatures are available. Anomaly detection is not available on AIP SSC.

• Wireless protection: The Cisco ASA SSM and AIP SSC are tightly integrated with the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller to help ensure that intruders do not enter your wireless network. The Cisco Wireless LAN Controller blocks intruders based on real-time threat intelligence from the Cisco ASA AIP SSM and AIP SSC.

When combined, these elements provide a comprehensive intrusion prevention solution, giving you the confidence to detect and stop the broadest range of malicious traffic before your business continuity is affected.
