About Deploying the Security Appliance with the CSC SSM

In addition to obtaining content profiles from Trend Micro, system administrators can also customize the configuration so that the CSC SSM scans for additional traffic types or locations. For example, system administrators can configure the CSC SSM to block or filter specific URLs, as well as scan for FTP and email parameters.

You use ASDM for system setup and monitoring of the CSC SSM. For advanced configuration of content security policies in the CSC SSM software, you access the web-based GUI for the CSC SSM by clicking links within ASDM.

This chapter describes how to configure the adaptive security appliance for the deployment. Use of the CSC SSM GUI is explained in the Cisco Content Security and Control SSM Administrator Guide.
