ASA firewall and anti virus security

netsecwork · ‎05-27-2008

Hi,

How can I integrate anti virus security with ASA firewalls, or have anti virus security in the ASA firewalls.

Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module (AIP SSM)dose the work, but is it really effective for worms and all kind for viruses? What about virus definations?

Regards

The Cisco ASA 5500 Series provides businesses with the flexibility to add IPS services to combat the additional malware. The Cisco ASA 5500 Series Firewall Edition operates as a standalone firewall appliance and inherently includes an VPN concentrator for handling encrypted sessions. To add intrusion prevention, organizations can install the Adaptive Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module (AIP-SSM) alongside the firewall in the system's chassis for single-pass firewall/IPS packet inspection.
