Cisco IINS 1.0: Network Security Using Cisco IOS IPS

Overview/Description
In technological environments, Internet worms and viruses can spread across the world in a matter of minutes. Without the luxury of time to react, a network needs to be able to instantaneously recognize and mitigate worm and virus threats.
