Intrusion Prevention
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Intrusion Detection
System (IDSM-2) Module
With the increased complexity of security threats, such as malicious
Internet worms, denial of service (DoS) attacks, and e-business
application attacks, achieving efficient network intrusion security
is critical to maintaining a high level of protection. The Cisco®
Catalyst® 6500 Series Intrusion Detection System Services Module
(IDSM-2) is an important intrusion prevention system (IPS) solution
for safeguarding organizations from costly and debilitating network
breaches and for helping to ensure business continuity.
The second-generation Cisco IDSM-2 protects switched environments
by integrating full-featured IPS functions directly into the network
infrastructure through the widely deployed Cisco Catalyst chassis.
This integration allows the user to monitor traffic directly off
the switch backplane—a logical platform for additional services
such as firewall, VPN, and IPS.
The Cisco IDSM-2 with Cisco IPS Sensor Software v6.0 helps users
stop more threats with greater confidence, through the use of
the following elements:
When combined, these elements provide a comprehensive inline prevention
solution, giving you the confidence to detect and stop the broadest
range of malicious traffic before it affects business continuity.
