Cisco NGIPSv for VMware IPS and Apps 1-Year Subscription

Maintain consistent intrusion prevention across VMware environments with Cisco NGIPSv for VMware IPS and Apps, delivered as a 1-year subscription license. This service subscription is built for teams that need virtualized security controls without introducing additional appliances into the rack. It supports a single appliance license, making it straightforward to align coverage to a defined virtual deployment. For infrastructure teams, the value is in keeping security close to the workload. Virtual IPS helps inspect traffic where east-west movement matters, while app awareness supports tighter policy decisions in environments that change faster than traditional perimeter models. Cisco’s licensing structure also makes renewal planning clear, which matters when security budgets are tied to specific assets and service windows. This subscription is suited to organizations that want Cisco-backed protection for VMware-based deployments and prefer a clean licensing model over ad hoc software sprawl. It is a focused option for extending Firepower capabilities into virtual environments with predictable annual coverage.
