Chapter 3 Setting Up the Sensor

Changing Web Server Settings

If you disable TLS, you receive this message:

Warning: TLS protocol support has been disabled. This change will not take effect until the web server is re-started.

Step 5 Change the HTTP server header.

sensor(config-web)#server-id Nothing to see here. Move along.

Step 6 Specify the web session inactivity timeout.

sensor(config-web)#websession-inactivity-timeout 800

Step 7 Turn on logging for web session inactivity timeouts.

sensor(config-web)#enable-websession-inactivity-timeout-logging true

Step 8 Turn on TLS client ciphers restriction.

sensor(config-web)#tls-client-ciphers-restriction enable

Step 9 Verify the web server changes.

sensor(config-web)# show settings enable-tls: true default: true port: 8080 default: 443

server-id: Nothing to see here. Move along. default: HTTP/1.1 compliant

configurable-service (min: 0, max: 99, current: 0)

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

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

websession-inactivity-timeout: 800 default: 3600

enable-websession-inactivity-timeout-logging: true default: false

tls-client-ciphers-restriction: enable default: enable sensor(config-web)#

Step 10 To revert to the defaults, use the default form of the commands.

sensor(config-web)# default port sensor(config-web)# default enable-tlssensor(config-web)# default server-id

Step 11 Verify the defaults have been replaced.

sensor(config-web)# show settings enable-tls: true <defaulted> port: 443 <defaulted>

server-id: HTTP/1.1 compliant <defaulted>

configurable-service (min: 0, max: 99, current: 0)

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

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

websession-inactivity-timeout: 3600 <defaulted>

enable-websession-inactivity-timeout-logging: false <defaulted>

tls-client-ciphers-restriction: enable <defaulted> sensor(config-web)#

Step 12 Exit web server submode.

sensor(config-web)# exit Apply Changes:?[yes]:

Step 13 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.
