About the Cisco ASA 5500 ASA5585-SSP-IPS10 Cisco ASA firewall / appliance

The Cisco ASA5585-SSP-IPS10 supports up to 500,000 concurrent connections, delivering enterprise-grade threat detection without sacrificing session capacity in high-traffic network paths. This Intrusion Prevention System Security Services Processor module installs directly into the rear SSP module bay of the Cisco ASA 5585-X chassis, providing dedicated inline and promiscuous inspection capabilities at up to 1 Gbps throughput. Network security engineers and infrastructure teams benefit from a purpose-built IPS module that integrates seamlessly with existing Cisco ASA deployments, reducing deployment complexity while extending advanced threat protection across critical security perimeters.

The ASA5585-SSP-IPS10 leverages Cisco Talos threat intelligence to detect and block application-layer threats across HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, FTP, DNS, Telnet, and additional protocols. Active/Standby and Active/Active high availability modes—when paired with ASA 5585-X chassis HA—ensure continuous protection without single points of failure. Management is unified through Cisco Security Manager, IPS Device Manager, or Cisco ASDM, while syslog and SDEE event logging enable compliance with PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOX audit requirements. Power is drawn directly from the ASA 5585-X chassis, eliminating separate power infrastructure. The module runs dedicated Cisco IPS Software, delivering consistent signature updates and behavioral detection in a half-slot form factor.

Enterprise Deployment Scenarios

  • Financial institutions requiring PCI-DSS compliance and real-time threat correlation across distributed branch offices
  • Healthcare networks protecting patient data with HIPAA-aligned logging and automated policy enforcement
  • Large enterprises consolidating multiple inline and monitoring inspection points within a single ASA 5585-X platform
  • Service providers delivering managed security services with centralized visibility via Cisco Security Manager
  • Organizations migrating from standalone IPS appliances to integrated platform architecture with reduced operational overhead
