To protect network availability and intellectual property, Cisco constantly monitors its network for a large assortment of threats, including insider threats, unauthorized access to data center assets, policy violations, such as privileged account logins with clear-text protocols, and botnets, which are used by miscreants and organized criminals for phishing and stealing intellectual property. They wanted to protect data center assets and avoid false positives and false negatives. Cisco deployed IPS in data centers, engineering server rooms, and offshore development centers. Network-based IPS enables them to detect and mitigate internal security events before users experience a secondary impact, such as a Cisco server attacking an outside server, service disruption, loss of intellectual property, or infection.
