Description
Intrusion Prevention and Detection
The SMA-M690-10G-K9 Cisco SMA M690 Security Appliance provides powerful Intrusion Prevention and Detection capabilities to help protect enterprise networks against a wide range of threats.
The appliance utilizes Cisco’s Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) technology, which includes both signature-based and behavior-based threat detection mechanisms. This enables it to detect and prevent known and unknown attacks, including viruses, trojans, spyware, and other malicious software.
The SMA-M690-10G-K9 also includes features such as network traffic analysis, anomaly detection, and threat intelligence integration, which enhance its ability to identify and respond to advanced threats. The appliance can integrate with Cisco’s Threat Intelligence Director to automatically update its threat intelligence feeds and block traffic from known malicious sources.
In addition, the SMA-M690-10G-K9 includes features such as packet filtering, port scanning detection, and protocol analysis, which enable it to inspect network traffic for anomalies and prevent attacks at the network layer.
To further enhance its intrusion prevention and detection capabilities, the SMA-M690-10G-K9 can also integrate with other Cisco security products, such as the Cisco ASA firewall and Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. This enables it to provide a layered approach to security, with multiple defenses working together to protect enterprise networks against advanced threats.
User and Application Control Capabilities
The Cisco SMA M690 Security Appliance is a high-performance security management appliance designed for large enterprise networks. In terms of user and application control, the device provides advanced capabilities to help organizations manage access to network resources and applications. Here are some of the user and application control capabilities of the SMA M690:
- Identity-based access control: The SMA M690 can enforce access control policies based on user identity, allowing you to grant or deny access to network resources based on user roles, group membership, or other factors. This helps ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive data and applications.
- Application visibility and control: The SMA M690 provides granular visibility and control over network applications, allowing you to monitor and regulate application usage on the network. This includes application classification, bandwidth management, and policy enforcement.
- Web filtering: The SMA M690 can filter web traffic based on content categories, URLs, and other criteria. This allows you to block access to malicious or inappropriate websites and prevent users from downloading malware or other threats.
- Threat detection and mitigation: The SMA M690 can detect and mitigate network threats, such as malware, phishing attacks, and intrusion attempts. This includes advanced threat protection features, such as sandboxing, file analysis, and URL filtering.
- VPN termination: The SMA M690 can terminate VPN connections from remote users and devices, providing secure access to network resources from anywhere. This can be particularly useful for remote and mobile workers who need to access corporate resources from outside the office.
