Information About the CSC SSM
The ASA 5580 does not support the CSC SSM feature.
Note
The ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance supports the CSC SSM, which runs Content Security
and Control software. The CSC SSM provides protection against viruses, spyware, spam, and other
unwanted traffic by scanning the FTP, HTTP, POP3, and SMTP packets that you configure the adaptive
security appliance to send to it.
