Cisco® IPS 4200 Series intrusion prevention system sensors are an important component of the Cisco Self-Defending Network. Using Cisco IPS Sensor Software Version 5.0, Cisco IPS sensors offer significant protection to your network by helping to detect, classify, and stop threats including worms, spyware/adware, network viruses, and application abuse. Users can stop more threats with greater confidence with the help of the following elements:
- Multivector threat identification-Detailed inspection of Layer 2-7 traffic protects your network from policy violations, vulnerability exploitations, and anomalous activity.
- Accurate prevention technologies-Cisco's innovative Risk Rating feature and Meta Event Generator provide the confidence to take preventive actions on a broader range of threats without the risk of dropping legitimate traffic.
- Unique network collaboration-Network collaboration provides enhanced scalability (to 8 Gbps) and resiliency, including efficient traffic capture techniques, load-balancing capabilities, and visibility into encrypted traffic.
- Comprehensive deployment and management solutions-Cisco IPS 4200 Series
sensors are purpose-built IPS appliances that provide:
- Protection of multiple network subnets through the use of up to eight interfaces
- Simultaneous, dual operation in both promiscuous and inline modes
- A wide array of performance options-from 80 Mbps to multiple gigabits
- Embedded Web-based management solutions packaged with the sensor
