Network Security & Firewalls

Cisco® ASA 5500 and ASA 5500-X Series Next-Generation Firewalls integrate the world's most proven stateful inspection firewall with a comprehensive suite of highly integrated next-generation firewall services for networks of all sizes-small and midsize businesses with one or a few locations, large enterprises, service providers, and mission-critical data centers. The Cisco ASA 5500 and ASA 5500-X Series Next-Generation Firewalls deliver MultiScale™ performance with unprecedented services flexibility, including next-generation firewall capabilities, modular scalability, feature extensibility, and lower deployment and operations costs.

A key component of the Cisco SecureX framework, the Cisco ASA 5500 Series integrates the world's most proven firewall with a robust suite of highly integrated, market-leading security services for networks of all sizes - small and midsize business with one or a few locations, large enterprises, service providers, and mission-critical data centers. The Cisco ASA 5500 Series delivers MultiScale performance and functionality with unprecedented services flexibility, modular scalability, feature extensibility, and lower deployment and operations costs.

Midsize businesses protecting the Internet edge require the same level of protection as large, enterprise networks. You require enterprise-strength security, but purchasing a firewall that was built to handle the performance needs and budget of a large enterprise would be unnecessary and a waste of company resources. You need a firewall that provides the performance you need at a price you can afford, without compromising security.

Intrusion Prevention for the Cisco ASA 5500-X Series

As users and data leave the corporate boundary and the network access layer becomes more porous, traditional signature technology alone will not suffice. Only Cisco® intrusion prevention (IPS) technology, backed by Cisco Security Intelligence Operations (SIO), identifies and mitigates attackers and attacks up to Layer 7 with market-leading, context-aware threat prevention that augments your firewall and VPN deployment.

The Cisco ASA 5500-X Series IPS Solution scales from the Cisco Borderless Network Architecture to data center architectures, with integrated form factors ranging from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps. Strong default efficacy allows you to install a device and secure your network immediately. Achieve full visibility across your network with Cisco Security Manager to mitigate risk and meet compliance - all while reducing your expenses.
