Cisco IPS 4200 Series sensors

Cisco IPS 4200 Series intrusion prevention system sensors are an important component of the Cisco Self-Defending Network . Cisco IPS sensors offer significant protection to the network by helping to detect, classify, and stop threats including worms, spyware/adware, network viruses, and application abuse. Administrators 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 the 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, up 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 the following:
    • 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
