It delivers real-time intrusion prevention (IPS), reputation-based malware blocking, advanced malware protection (AMP), and dynamic URL filtering to safeguard network traffic against emerging threats.

Yes, you can upgrade any compatible ASA 5500 series appliance from the base license to CSC20-PLUS by purchasing a license upgrade and applying it through Cisco’s Smart Licensing portal.
Throughput and session counts vary by ASA hardware model; refer to Cisco’s data sheet for model-specific performance metrics when enabling content security features.
Basic support for license activation is provided, but extended technical assistance and software updates require a Cisco SMARTnet or Cisco Security Support contract.
The ASA-CSC20-PLUS license is sold on a subscription basis—typically one, three, or five years—and must be renewed before expiration to maintain full content security services.
CSC20-BASE offers core URL filtering and reputation services, while CSC20-PLUS adds full intrusion prevention, malware sandboxing (AMP), and advanced content inspection.

Official installation guides, configuration examples, and release notes are available for download on Cisco’s Software Download Center under the ASA Content Security section.
