csa and ips on asa

[cfajardo1_2]

iam providing cisco solution for a customer. I am proposing CSA for the servers and ASA with AIP as the perimeter defense.

What additional component do i need more to implement this. (ie. the management for ASA and ASA etc.)

thanks

Hello fajardo,

I would recommend you to order a basic product of VMS. The Cisco security Agent software is managed and controlled by the CSA MC on the VMS server. This will be the central point of contact for all the CSA agents... ASA can be managed normally through CLI or GUI , like the PIX firewall. But the events on the SSM server requires VMS or IDM for tracking the attacks.

Hope this helps... all the best.. rate replies if found useful...
