Cisco ASA 5512-X and 5515-X

The Cisco ASA 5512-X and 5515-X are next-generation firewalls that combine the most widely deployed stateful

inspection firewall in the industry with a comprehensive suite of next-generation network security services—for

comprehensive security without compromise. They provide multiple security services and redundant power

supplies and enable consistent security enforcement throughout the organization. In addition to comprehensive

stateful inspection firewall capabilities, the ASA 5512-X and 5515-X optionally provide broad and deep network

security through an array of integrated cloud- and software-based security services, including Application Visibility

and Control (AVC), Web Security Essentials (WSE), Cisco Cloud Web Security (CWS), and the only context-

aware IPS—with no need for additional hardware modules.

The ASA 5512-X and ASA 5515-X Next-Generation Firewalls are part of the ASA 5500-X Series, which is built on

the same proven security platform as the rest of the ASA family of firewalls and delivers exceptional application

visibility and control along with superior performance and operational efficiency. The ASA 5512-X and 5515-X are

designed to meet evolving security needs by providing, among other things, innovative next-generation firewall

services that make it possible to take advantage of new applications and devices without compromising security.

Unlike other next-generation firewalls, the Cisco ASA 5500-X Series keeps pace with rapidly evolving needs by

offering end-to-end network intelligence gained from combining the visibility from local traffic with in-depth global

network intelligence using:

●

Cisco TrustSec

technology

●

Cisco AnyConnect

Secure Mobility Solution for unique mobile client insight

●

Cisco Security Intelligence Operations (SIO) for near-real-time threat information and proactive protection

●

Cisco ASA Next-Generation Firewall Services

With up to 1.2 Gbps of firewall throughput, 250,000 concurrent firewall connections, 15,000 connections per

second, and 6 integrated Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the ASA 5512-X and 5515-X are excellent choices for

businesses requiring a high-performance, cost-effective, and extensible security solution with exceptional

application visibility and control that can grow with their changing needs.

Cisco ASA 5505

The Cisco ASA 5505 is a full-featured firewall for small business, branch, and enterprise teleworker environments.

The Cisco ASA 5505 delivers high-performance firewall, SSL and IPsec VPN, and rich networking services in a

modular, “plug-and-play” appliance. Using the integrated graphical Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager

(ASDM), the Cisco ASA 5505 can be rapidly deployed and easily managed, enabling businesses to minimize

operations costs. The Cisco ASA 5505 features a flexible 8-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch whose ports can be

dynamically grouped to create up to three separate VLANs for home, business, and Internet traffic for improved

network segmentation and security. The Cisco ASA 5505 provides two Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports,

simplifying the deployment of Cisco IP phones with zero-touch secure voice over IP (VoIP) capabilities, as well as

the deployment of external wireless access points for extended network mobility. A high-performance intrusion

prevention and worm mitigation service is available with the addition of the Advanced Inspection and Prevention

Security Services Card (AIP SSC). Multiple USB ports can be used to enable additional services and capabilities

as they are needed.
