can I have both IPS and Content security on ASA5510?

[Echo Chan]

Hi expert

We want to have a ASA5510 with both IPS function and Content Security feature, while I checked on Cisco website, looks like ASA5510 or 5520 only have one SSM slot, so I can only use either AIP module or CSC module, does it mean I can not get both features at the same time.

Right now I want to have IPS function and anti-spam, anti-virus, antiphishing, content filtering, URL blocking such feature, so what do I need to buy to have all of these function in one device?

Thanks

Dear Echo Chan .

           You can go with CSC module for your requirement , most of your requirement could be satisified by CSC module except IPS functionality

Hi Expert,

Does the new ASA X series range of firewall support IPS, AV, Anti-Spam and Anti-Bot in one appliance?
