RE: CISCOs new IPS

["Gary Halleen (ghalleen)" <ghalleen () cisco com>]

Actually, that's not quite correct, Billy?

Cisco IPS 5.0 is just around the corner, and is a full-fledged
appliance-based IPS product.  It will support various drop actions, as well
as traffic normalization and antivirus/antiworm.

The IOS IPS you're referencing is a subset of what will be available in IPS
5.0.

The cisco IPS is not quite what I thought it was going to be.  The IPS is
intended for use at branch offices or remote users where you would not
normally spring for a fire-walling device.  The IPS is nothing more then a
IOS router with IOS firewall and the IDS engine.  The IPS is just software
that runs on a cisco router.  It can use around 740 signatures from the
cisco IDS to run its "prevention".  It basically turns your router into a
small IDS/firewall.  It will be able to create access lists or shuns on the
fly.  The same as a current cisco IDS works in conjunction with an IOS
router or PIX firewall.  This device is not intended to be the first line of
defense within the network.  

The cisco IPS is not replacing the cisco IDS.  The cisco IDS is still a good
product and can be used as a prevention device when used in conjunction with
a router or firewall.  You can configure the sensor to send commands to the
router or firewall to Shun the connection or create an access list on a
router.
