Chapter 7 Defining Signatures

Creating Custom Signatures

The following example Atomic IP Advanced custom signature prohibits Protocol ID 88 over IPv6. To create a signature based on the Atomic IP Advanced signature engine, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator or operator privileges.

Step 2 Enter signature definition submode.

sensor# configure terminal

sensor(config)# service signature-definition sig0

Step 3 Specify a signature ID and a subsignature ID for the signature. Custom signatures are in the range of 60000 to 65000.

sensor(config-sig)# signatures 60000 0

Step 4 Specify the signature engine.

sensor(config-sig-sig)#engine atomic-ip-advanced

Step 5 Specify the IP version.

sensor(config-sig-sig-ato)# specify-ip-version yes

Step 6 Specify IPv6.

sensor(config-sig-sig-ato-yes)# version ipv6

Step 7 Specify the L4 protocol.

sensor(config-sig-sig-ato-yes-ipv)# exit sensor(config-sig-sig-ato-yes)# exit sensor(config-sig-sig-ato)# specify-l4-protocol yes

Step 8 Specify protocol ID 88.

sensor(config-sig-sig-ato-yes)# l4-protocolother-protocolsensor(config-sig-sig-ato-yes-oth)# other-ip-protocol-id 88

Step 9 Verify the settings.

sensor(config-sig-sig-ato-yes-oth)# show settings other-protocol

-----------------------------------------------

other-ip-protocol-id: 88

-----------------------------------------------

sensor(config-sig-sig-ato-yes-oth)#

Step 10 Exit signature definition submode.

sensor(config-sig-sig-ato-yes-oth)# exit sensor(config-sig-sig-ato-yes)# exit sensor(config-sig-sig-ato)# exit sensor(config-sig-sig)# exit sensor(config-sig)# exit

Apply Changes?[yes]:

Step 11 Press Enter to apply the changes or enter no to discard them.

IPS4510K9 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leading player in network security, and its IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) series is a testament to its commitment to safeguarding digital environments. Among its notable offerings are the IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 models, both designed to provide advanced threat protection for mid-sized to large enterprise networks.

The Cisco IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 are distinguished by their cutting-edge features that help organizations defend against a myriad of cyber threats. These systems utilize a multi-layered approach to security, integrating intrusion prevention, advanced malware protection, and comprehensive visibility across the network.

One of the primary characteristics of the IPS4510K9 is its high performance. It boasts a throughput of up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for environments that demand rapid data processing and real-time responses to threats. The IPS4520K9, on the other hand, enhances that capability with improved throughput of up to 2 Gbps, accommodating larger enterprises with heavier network traffic. These models are equipped with powerful processors that support complex signature matching and can intelligently distinguish between legitimate traffic and potential threats.

In addition to performance, both models are designed with scalability in mind. They can be easily integrated into existing Cisco infrastructures. This facilitates a seamless enhancement of security without causing significant interruptions to ongoing operations. Moreover, they offer flexible deployment options, allowing organizations to operate them inline or out of band depending on their specific needs.

The Cisco IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 leverage advanced detection technologies, utilizing a variety of signature types and heuristic analysis to detect known and unknown threats effectively. They are equipped with real-time alerting and reporting capabilities, giving security teams immediate visibility into potential breaches and enabling them to respond swiftly.

Furthermore, both models support a range of management options through the Cisco Security Manager, allowing for centralized administration, streamlined policy management, and enhanced monitoring capabilities. Automated updates ensure the systems remain current with the latest threat intelligence, vital for staying ahead of evolving cyber threats.

In summary, the Cisco Systems IPS4510K9 and IPS4520K9 represent powerful solutions for organizations seeking robust intrusion prevention capabilities. With their high performance, scalability, and advanced detection technologies, these systems are essential tools in the ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity, providing enterprises with the peace of mind needed to operate securely in today's digital world.
