New Features
The new version of the Cisco IPS Sensor Software brings improved resiliency, better security, and simplified
management.
●
Improved Resiliency
◦
LACP Support: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is an industry standard (defined in IEEE
802.3ad) that is widely used for failover scenarios in the data center. It provides better network
integration, resiliency, and scalability. Its network flow affinity design offers better performance than a
single high-throughput device. For example, you can deploy up to eight Cisco IPS 4520-XL sensors in
an LACP cluster for up to 80 Gbps average throughput.
◦
Hardware Bypass Support for Cisco IPS 4300 Series Sensors: Hardware bypass helps you ensure
continuity for critical network segments. This feature is currently available on Cisco IPS 4500 Series
Sensors. Cisco IPS Sensor Software Version 7.3 extends that support to the Cisco IPS 4300 Series
Sensors.
●
Better Security
◦
Signature Capacity: Cisco IPS Sensor Software Version 7.3 provides improved signature capacity to
protect your organization from a wider range of threats.
◦
Web Security: Safeguard your organization against increasing levels of cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks. Cisco IPS Sensor Software Version 7.3 enhances inspection for web traffic, preventing client-
side exploits by inspecting Base64-encoded traffic.
◦
Advanced Protection: Exploits can apply multiple evasion methods to bypass IPS detection
mechanisms. Cisco IPS Sensor Software Version 7.3 enhances the inspection for the Microsoft Remote
Procedure Call (MSRPC) request code execution vulnerability. It also adds support for Big-endian
MSRPC traffic, SMB Predator Decoy trees evasion, and various other advanced evasion techniques
used by exploits to avoid IPS detection.
