I have a customer that wants to purchase an ASA 5510 security plus to terminate client VPN access for an external support team. The customer claims to want URL content filtering/proxy which leads me to suggest a CSC SSM 20 plus module. But upon further conversation, he mentioned wanting IPS. In this case, the customer does not seem to know the difference between the URL content filter/proxy and the IPS and uses both terms interchangably.</P><P></P><P>1. What would you suggest in your expert opinion would be the best module to get for this customer? IPS or CSC</P><P></P><P>2. If I go with the CSC module, where can I find good documentation on how to configure it and get it up to date?</P><P></P><P>3. does the CSC module provide any web proxy functionality? I don't think so but I just have to ask <SPAN __jive_emoticon_name="happy" __jive_macro_name="emoticon" class="jive_macro jive_emote" src="https://community.cisco.com/4.5.4/images/emoticons/happy.gif"></SPAN></P><P></P><P>Thanks,</P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 23:39:34 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-module-or-csc-module/m-p/2010205#M401102 west33637 2019-03-11T23:39:34Z IPS module or CSC module https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-module-or-csc-module/m-p/2010206#M401103 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I would go with the IPS.

Can both IPS and CSC-Plus run concurrently?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Aug 2012 17:36:57 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-module-or-csc-module/m-p/2010207#M401104 west33637 2012-08-08T17:36:57Z IPS module or CSC module https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-module-or-csc-module/m-p/2010208#M401105 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>No, as of today thats only possible for IPS.
