IDSM-2 can be deployed to deliver up to 600 Mbps of intrusion prevention protection in passive mode and up to 500 Mbps in inline mode.

IDSM-2 offers an intrusion prevention system (IPS) solution for safeguarding organizations from malicious attacks and network breaches, thereby ensuring stability.

IDSM-2 is the second-generation services module offering protection to switched environments by integrating full-featured IPS functionality directly into the network infrastructure. This integration allows monitoring traffic directly off the switch backplane scaling to multi-gigabit environments.

IDSM-2 offers enterprises and service providers with unparalleled intrusion security, reliability, scalability, and multi-gigabit performance.

Some of the key features in IDSM-2 are the following:

IDSM-2 runs the same software code as the IPS 4200 Series appliance hardware; hence, it can be integrated into the same management workflow.
