The Cisco ASA 5500 Series AIP SSM and AIP SSC are inline, network-based solutions that accurately identify,
classify, and stop malicious traffic before it affects business continuity for IPv4, IPv6, and hybrid IPv6 and IPv4
networks. They combine inline prevention services with innovative technologies, resulting in total confidence in the
provided protection of the deployed IPS solution, without the fear of legitimate traffic being dropped. The AIP SSM
and AIP SSC also offer comprehensive network protection through their unique ability to collaborate with other
network security resources, providing a proactive approach to protecting the network.
Accurate inline prevention technologies provide unparalleled confidence to take preventive action on a broader
range of threats without the risk of dropping legitimate traffic. These unique technologies offer intelligent,
automated, contextual analysis of data and help ensure that businesses are getting the most out of their intrusion
prevention solutions. Furthermore, the IPS SSP, AIP SSM, and AIP SSC use multivector threat identification to
protect the network from policy violations, vulnerability exploitations, and anomalous activity through detailed
inspection of traffic in Layers 2 through 7.
Table 2 details the AIP SSM models that are available, and their respective performance and physical
characteristics.
