The Cisco IDS Network Module for the Cisco 2600, 3600, and 3700 series routers is part of the Cisco IDS Family sensor portfolio and the Cisco Intrusion Protection System. These IDS sensors work in concert with the other IDS components, including Cisco IDS Management Console, CiscoWorks VPN/Security Management Solution, and Cisco IDS Device Manager, to efficiently protect your data and information infrastructure. With the increased complexity of security threats, achieving efficient network intrusion security solutions is critical to maintaining a high level of protection. Vigilant protection helps ensure business continuity and minimizes the effect of costly intrusions.
