about the latest security threats.

Challenge

The Internet has become a critical business tool for organizations of all sizes, offering new opportunities for business

growth and allowing partners and remote workers to access the business network via VPN connections. But it is also

a conduit for threats to enter a company's network, and these threats can have a significant negative impact:

●

Unauthorized access can lead to loss of company data, unplanned downtime, and related liability concerns.

●

Viruses can infect systems, bringing them down and resulting in outages and lost revenue.

●

Spam and phishing create a nuisance and contribute to a loss of employee productivity.

●

Spyware provides a direct inside view of your network and data that can lead to identity theft and business

data loss.

●

Browsing of non-work-related and harmful websites leads to lost productivity, exposure to viruses and

spyware, and possible legal issues involving employees.

Solution

The Cisco SA 500 Series provides small companies with comprehensive gateway security and VPN connectivity.

With its combined firewall, email, and web security capabilities, the Cisco SA 500 Series stops threats before they

enter the network and affect business operations. The Cisco SA 500 Series:

●

Allows valid business traffic to flow while keeping out unwelcome visitors. It also supports a public

accessable network area, known as a demilitarized zone (DMZ), to safely host file, web, and other Internet-

accessible servers without exposing the business’s internal LAN network to threats.

●

Proactively prevents intrusions and blocks dangerous peer-to-peer communications: With the optional

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) for SA 500 license, the SA 500 Series is able to identify possible intrusions

into the business network and take action to stop the intrusion and prevent further risk. Additionally, the SA

500 Series can block peer-to-peer and instant messaging traffic and perform protocol inspection to help

increase network security, enhance employee productivity, and keep the network available for business

traffic.
