Q.
What advanced protection is provided by the new Botnet Traffic Filter feature in the
Cisco ASA Software Release 8.2?
A.
The Botnet Traffic Filter provides visibility into infected endpoints on the network that have
circumvented existing infection prevention systems. The Botnet Traffic Filter monitors network
ports for rogue activity and detects infected internal endpoints sending command and control
traffic to external hosts.
Q.
How do I use the Botnet Traffic Filter with my organization's existing Cisco Content
Security and IPS solutions?
A.
The Botnet Traffic Filter is complementary to existing Cisco security solutions. Cisco Content
Security and IPS solutions protect endpoints and servers by identifying and preventing
malware. The Botnet Traffic Filter assists in identifying endpoints that have already been
infected or have bypassed existing endpoint prevention solutions.
Q.
Is the Botnet Traffic Filter’s database the same as the one used by the IronPort
®
S-
Series?
A.
No. The databases are not the same. Although both databases are powered by Cisco Security
Intelligence Operations, the Botnet Traffic Filter relies on a separate, unique database.
