Cisco =AIM-IPS-K9 Hardware Firewall Networking

The Cisco Intrusion Prevention System Advanced Integration Module (IPS AIM) and Network Module Enhanced (IPS NME) bring integrated intrusion prevention to enterprise branch offices and expand network security to the edge.
The Cisco IPS AIM for the Cisco 1841 and Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers and the Cisco IPS NME for the Cisco 2811, 2821, 2851, 3825, 3845, 2911, 2921, 2951, 3925 and 3945 Integrated Services Routers bring Cisco IPS to branch offices and small businesses (Figure 1). Cisco IPS is an integral component of the Cisco Self-Defending Network, an architectural solution designed for the evolving security landscape. Security is integrated everywhere, and with the help of a lifecycle services approach, enterprises can design, implement, operate, and optimize network platforms that defend critical business processes against attack and disruption, protect privacy, and support policy and regulatory compliance controls.
With the ever-increasing complexity and sophistication of security threats, every point in the network can be at risk. Cisco IPS accurately identifies, classifies, and stops malicious traffic, including worms, spyware, adware, network viruses, and application abuse. Vigilant protection helps ensure business continuity and minimizes the effect of costly intrusions.
