Introduction
The Cisco Unified Intrusion Detection System (IDS)/Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is part of the Cisco
Self−Defending Network and is the first integrated wired and wireless security solution in the industry. The
Cisco Unified IDS/IPS takes a comprehensive approach to securityat the wireless edge, wired edge, WAN
edge, and through the data center. When an associated client sends malicious traffic through the Cisco Unified
Wireless Network, a Cisco wired IDS device detects the attack and sends shun requests to Cisco Wireless
LAN Controllers (WLCs), which then disassociate the client device.
The Cisco IPS is an inline, network−based solution, designed to accurately identify, classify, and stop
malicious traffic, including worms, spyware / adware, network viruses, and application abuse, before they
affect business continuity.
With the utilization of Cisco IPS Sensor software version 5, the Cisco IPS solution combines inline prevention
services with innovative technologies to improve accuracy. The result is total confidence in the provided
protection of your IPS solution, without the fear of legitimate traffic being dropped. The Cisco IPS solution
also offers comprehensive protection of your network through its unique ability to collaborate with other
network security resources and provides a proactive approach to the protection of your network.
The Cisco IPS solution helps users stop more threats with greater confidence through the use of these features:
