Network Firewalls
Networks support crucial applications and processes and
provide a common infrastructure for converged data,
voice, and video services. Instead of providing only
point products that set a base level of security, Cisco
embeds security throughout the network and integrates
security services in all of its products. Security
becomes a transparent, scalable, and manageable aspect
of the business infrastructure.
Cisco offers multiple integrated firewall solutions to
meet the varying network environments:
Based
on modular, scalable platforms, each firewall is
designed to secure varying network environments. These
firewalls can be independently deployed to secure
specific areas of the network infrastructure, or they
can be combined for a layered, defense-in-depth approach
following the design best practices described in the
Cisco SAFE
Blueprint.
To complete its firewall solutions, Cisco provides a
comprehensive security management product portfolio,
including
Cisco
Adaptive Security Device Manager
and Cisco IOS Software security features, as well as
embedded device managers and integrated management
applications.
