Cisco Secure IPS (NGIPS) Reviews

We use Cisco Secure IPS to prevent and detect any suspicious activities or network detections to prevent unwanted applications.

IPS decreases the risk for management.

We are working as a system integrator, dealing with various network security products. Currently, I am dealing with Cisco products, including Cisco Secure IPS (NGIPS), for different facets of our networking setup. These include UCS servers, NGIPS firewall, Firepower, switching, routing, and AP controllers.

Cisco Secure IPS (NGIPS) is deployed on a very limited part of networks due to Cisco's historical lack of investment in education for Firepower. As a result, the market in Pakistan has been captured by Fortinet. All NGFW solutions, including Cisco Secure IPS, are largely similar in most respects. The choice is often dependent on the significance of the brand's name rather than their performance advantage in the security domain.

Our primary use case is for regulatory purposes. We use Cisco Secure IPS for intrusion prevention to manage all features from a single dashboard.

The solution is valuable since it is a single vendor option, which makes it easier to manage all features from one dashboard. The threat detection and prevention feature is particularly important for us.

I use Cisco NGIPS as a firewall for the DMZ zone.

Cisco NGIPS is not secured, and we did not use it in our company for VPN-related purposes. Cisco NGIPS is just to protect data. We use Cisco ASA, which has reached its end-of-sale cycle, and install Cisco NGIPS simply in our environment, which emulates features similar to Cisco ASA.

We have deployed Cisco Secure IPS (NGIPS) for intrusion detection and prevention in our financial sector. It protects our public-facing systems, especially in the DMZ zone, ensuring high security for servers involved in public transactions.

Cisco Secure IPS (NGIPS) performs exceptionally in Trojan detection, especially at the network level. We used a Next Generation Firewall on that aspect, which is amazing. Cisco products are also very good at integration with third-party tools.

Our company uses the solution for data functions in banking. It is a backend solution in the server center. 

We analyze traffic and adapt configurations or customize policies to the environment of the IPS itself. 

The solution very effectively provides malware protection and signature-based anomaly detection. We don't need to use any separate tools. 

The end delay layer was recently improved so it is much faster for service functions, training, and workflows. 

Recent improvements to the OS and firewalling are good. 

We use the solution for cybersecurity purposes. The tool helps us to identify anomalies that come from internal or external networks. 

The attack patterns and payloads go undetected in Cisco. We would like to see a new solution with more effective detection of attack patterns. There should be more data analyzing patterns as well which provides useful information.
