Safeguard Your Network and Prevent Intrusion

Business networks of all sizes now face increasingly sophisticated attacks that can impede productivity, obstruct access to applications and resources, and cause significant communications disruption. And because of compliance regulations and consumer privacy laws, business priorities now include minimizing legal liability, protecting brand reputation, and safeguarding intellectual property.

An integral part of the Cisco Self-Defending Network and Cisco Threat Control solutions, the Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) provides end-to-end protection for your network. This inline, network-based defense can identify, classify, and stop known and unknown threats, including worms, network viruses, application threats, system intrusion attempts, and application misuse.

Cisco IPS Sensors and Cisco IPS Sensor Software deliver high-performance, intelligent detection with precision response, from the network edge to the data center. This technology provides metrics in both multimedia and transactional environments, so you can anticipate true IPS performance tailored to your business. The sensors can be deployed widely and incrementally on servers and endpoints, as dedicated appliances, and as service modules on routers, switches, and firewalls. They collaborate and adapt in real time to emerging threats.

And with Cisco Services for IPS, you can easily manage your IPS deployment with near-real-time updates to the most recent threats.
