VigilantMinds Supports All Aspects of CSA Deployment

Overview The Cisco Security Agent is the host-based Intrusion Prevention Solution (IPS) from Cisco Systems that analyzes network traffic behavior for potential threats, including worms, spyware, and zero-day attacks. In synergy with VigilantMinds' proactive security intelligence approach, the Cisco Security Agent monitors network endpoints, such as Web servers and laptops, identifying and preventing malicious behavior before it can occur, thereby removing potential known and unknown security risks that threaten enterprise networks and applications.
