Can cisco IPS detect Drive-by downloads?

[SIMMN]

Hi, we are in preparation of upgrading our Asa pair and the new 5500-x is one of the candidates. However I am having difficult time finding what non-signature based detection the builtin IPS can do. Like, can it detect drive-by download/install? Any link for relevant info? Thanks, /S

Hello, chinese_ys. The Cisco ASA 5500-X supports Application Visibility and Control (AVC), in order for you to recognize applications and micro applications. Check this link for more details: (http://cs.co/9003cTjB). You can e-mail me (adawa@cisco.com), if you have additional questions or concerns. Kind regards and hope this helps!
