content profiles it obtains from Trend Micro. It then forwards legitimate content
on to the adaptive security appliance for routing, or blocks and reports content that
is suspicious.
In addition to obtaining content profiles from Trend Micro, system administrators
can also customize the configuration so that the CSC SSM scans for additional
traffic types or locations. For example, system administrators can configure the
CSC SSM to block or filter specific URLs, as well as scan for FTP and e-mail
parameters.
You use ASDM for system setup and monitoring of the CSC SSM. For advanced
configuration of content security policies in the CSC SSM software, you access
the web-based GUI for the CSC SSM by clicking links within ASDM.
This chapter describes how to configure the adaptive security appliance for the
deployment. Use of the CSC SSM GUI is explained in the Cisco Content Security
and Control SSM Administrator Guide.

In a network in which the adaptive security appliance is deployed with the CSC
SSM, you configure the adaptive security appliance to send to the CSC SSM only
the types of traffic that you want to be scanned.
Figure 14-1 illustrates the basic traffic flow between a company network, the
adaptive security appliance and CSC SSM, and the Internet. The network
illustrated in
Figure 14-1 includes the following:
• An adaptive security appliance with a CSC SSM installed and configured
• A service policy on the adaptive security appliance specifies which traffic is
diverted to the CSC SSM for scanning
