Cisco Secure IPS (NGIPS) Reviews & Product Details

As cyberattacks evolve, network security requires unparalleled visibility and intelligence covering all threats for comprehensive protection. And with differing organizational responsibilities and agendas, you need a consistent security enforcement mechanism.Cisco is number one in the technical support. It's good technical support and this is actually a problem when we do the recruitment for some other products. Other products you are on hold forever and the support might be not the best compared to Cisco. These increasing operational demands call for a renewed focus on dedicated Secure IPS to provide a deeper level of security and visibility for the enterprise.The features that I find most valuable are the DDoS protection, IPS/IDS, and Firepower for web application filtering and their fingerprints are good in terms of how they whitelist and blacklist.In the virtual deployment, you have a couple of choices depending on your needs and how much bandwidth you have that needs to be inspected.Technical support is quite good. With firewalls, the last cases I had with Cisco were professionally handled quite quickly and it was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customization and pre-processor rules. Well-managed portal to effectively identify signatures. High throughput and performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Port scan rules have been causing many problems initially. It was either disabled or limited to specific flows that controlled it. As experienced, some signature rules failed to protect the vulnerability attack of remote code execution at Windows 2013 server. The signatures were patched and enabled, but required protection wasn't achieved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Today's complex networks demand a robust threat detection and containment approach. Safeguarding network assets and data from today's threats requires detailed visibility into all network layers, content and resources no matter where they are deployed.

A well designed NGIPS can provide visibility, threat detection and response that remain unavailable to firewall inspection.
