P2P

packet

Peer-to-Peer. P2P networks use nodes that can simultaneously function as both client and server for the purpose of file sharing.

Logical grouping of information that includes a header containing control information and (usually) user data. Packets most often are used to refer to network layer units of data. The terms datagram, frame, message, and segment also are used to describe logical information groupings at various layers of the OSI reference model and in various technology circles.

PAgP		Port Aggregation Control Protocol. PAgP aids in the automatic creation of EtherChannel links by
		exchanging PAgP packets between LAN ports. It is a Cisco-proprietary protocol.
PAM		Software module that provides AAA functionality to applications.
PAP		Password Authentication Protocol. Most commonly used RADIUS messaging protocol.
passive		Act of determining the OS or services available on a system from passive observation of network
fingerprinting		interactions.
Passive OS		The sensor determines host operating systems by inspecting characteristics of the packets exchanged
Fingerprinting		on the network.
PASV Port Spoof		An attempt to open connections through a firewall to a protected FTP server to a non-FTP port. This
		happens when the firewall incorrectly interprets an FTP 227 passive command by opening an
		unauthorized connection.
PAT		Port Address Translation. A more restricted translation scheme than NAT in which a single IP address
		and different ports are used to represent the hosts of a network.
patch release		Release that addresses defects identified in the update (minor, major, or service pack) binaries after a
		software release (service pack, minor, or major update) has been released.
PAWS		Protection Against Wrapped Sequence. Protection against wrapped sequence numbers in high
		performance TCP networks. See RFC 1323.
PCI		Peripheral Component Interface. The most common peripheral expansion bus used on Intel-based
		computers.
PDU		protocol data unit. OSI term for packet. See also BPDU and packet.
PEP		Cisco Product Evolution Program. PEP is the UDI information that consists of the PID, the VID, and
		the SN of your sensor. PEP provides hardware version and serial number visibility through electronic
		query, product labels, and shipping items.

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.
