Cisco IDS/IPS 4200 Series sensors are critical components of Cisco Intrusion Protection System solutions. These sensors work with other IDS/IPS components 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 to ensure business continuity and minimizes the effects of costly intrusions.At 250 Mbps, the Cisco IPS 4240 can be deployed to provide protection in switched environments, on multiple T3 subnets, and with the support of 10/100/1000 interfaces. It can also be deployed on partially utilized gigabit links.
