Which Cisco security management solution provides the means to identify, isolate, and counter security threats to the network?

A.
Adaptive Security Device Manager

B.
Intrusion Prevention Device Manager

C.
Security Device Manager

D.
Cisco Security Manager

E.
Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System

Explanation:
Cisco Security MARS is a security threat mitigation (STM) system. It delivers a range of information about your networks’ health as reported by devices in your network.

Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (Cisco Security MARS) is an appliance-based solution for network security administrators to monitor, identify, isolate, and respond to security threats. MARS understands the network topology and device congurations from routers, switches, rewalls, and IPS devices. MARS also can model packet ows on the network.

Note:
Cisco has a variety of security management products and technologies that allow scalable administration and enforcement of security policy for the Cisco SCF architecture. These solutions reduce the operational management and automate many of the common tasks, including

configuration, analysis, incident response, and reporting. Security management platforms include the following:
Cisco Security Manager (CSM) is an integrated solution for GUI configuration management of firewall, VPN, and IPS policies on Cisco security appliances, firewalls, routers, and switch modules. CSM has capabilities for security policies to be deployed by device, by group, or globally for all devices.
Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) provides centralized control for administrative access to Cisco devices and security applications. ACS provides for AAA security services and supports routers, switches, VPN services, ASAs, and Cisco NAC clients. In addition, Cisco ACS also supports back-end directory integration with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Microsoft Active Directory (AD) for authentication services. Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (Cisco Security MARS) is an appliance-based solution for network security administrators to monitor, identify, isolate, and respond to security threats. MARS understands the network topology and device configurations from routers, switches, firewalls, and IPS devices. MARS also can model packet flows on the network.
Cisco NAC Manager is an appliance that manages the Cisco NAC servers. NAC Manager has a web-based interface for managing security policies and online users that are part of the NAC infrastructure. Cisco NAC Manager acts as an authentication proxy using Cisco ACS or Microsoft AD.
System Administration Host provides a centralized host used to stage configuration, software images, and implement network changes.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server provides time synchronization to NTP clients such as routers and switches. Time synchronization is crucial in the analysis of event correlations
