Than an algorithm, GL-7 | Cisco Systems IPS4520K9 specs

Glossary

DES	Data Encryption Standard. A strong encryption method where the strength lies in a 56-bit key rather
	than an algorithm.
destination address Address of a network device that is receiving data.
DIMM	Dual In-line Memory Modules.
DMZ	demilitarized zone. A separate network located in the neutral zone between a private (inside) network
	and a public (outside) network.
DNS	Domain Name System. An Internet-wide hostname to IP address mapping. DNS enables you to convert
	human-readable names into the IP addresses needed for network packets.
DoS	Denial of Service. An attack whose goal is just to disrupt the operation of a specific system or network.
DRAM	dynamic random-access memory. RAM that stores information in capacitors that must be refreshed
	periodically. Delays can occur because DRAMs are inaccessible to the processor when refreshing their
	contents. However, DRAMs are less complex and have greater capacity than SRAMs.

DTE

DTP

Data Terminal Equipment. Refers to the role of a device on an RS-232C connection. A DTE writes data to the transmit line and reads data from the receive line.

Dynamic Trunking Protocol. A Cisco proprietary protocol in the VLAN group used for negotiating trunking on a link between two devices and for negotiating the type of trunking encapsulation (ISL or 802.1q) to be used.

ECLB

egress

encryption

engine

enterprise network

escaped expression

ESD

Ether Channel Load Balancing. Lets a Catalyst switch split traffic flows over different physical paths.

Traffic leaving the network.

Application of a specific algorithm to data to alter the appearance of the data making it incomprehensible to those who are not authorized to see the information.

A component of the sensor designed to support many signatures in a certain category. Each engine has parameters that can be used to create signatures or tune existing signatures.

Large and diverse network connecting most major points in a company or other organization. Differs from a WAN in that it is privately owned and maintained.

Used in regular expression. A character can be represented as its hexadecimal value, for example, \x61 equals ‘a,’ so \x61 is an escaped expression representing the character ‘a.’

electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic discharge is the rapid movement of a charge from one object to another object, which produces several thousand volts of electrical charge that can cause severe damage to electronic components or entire circuit card assemblies.

event		An IPS message that contains an alert, a block request, a status message, or an error message.
Event Store		One of the components of the IPS. A fixed-size, indexed store (30 MB) used to store IPS events.
evIdsAlert		The XML entity written to the Event Store that represents an alert.

IPS4520K9 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.
