Global threat correlation feature key new feature
This week, we also have a review of Cisco IPS 7.0. Our reviewers found that the addition of a global threat correlation feature increases the value of the Cisco software — and the appliances it runs on — and is easy to deploy.

Cisco also set the bar “pretty high” with IPS 7.0, states reviewer Joel Snyder. Cisco took the SenderBase reputation filtering technology it obtained from its acquisition of IronPort and created Cisco SensorBase, to change the Risk Rating of security events identified by the IPS.
This mean an event linked to a ‘bad’ IP address will result in an even higher Risk Rating, Snyder writes in his review. A Risk Rating also lets users prioritize events and decide what to look at and what to ignore.
