Router Security
The router is the
foundation of the network and must be protected. It's your
first line of defense.
The Cisco Self
Defending Network begins with securing the network platform
by integrating security into the foundation of the network.
In this way, security becomes an integral and fundamental
network feature.
Cisco IOS on routers
offers a comprehensive
suite of
security technologies like Cisco IOS Firewall, IPSec and SSL
VPN, and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) services,
providing robust and adaptable security solutions that help
defend against distributed denial of service attacks and
other threats to network infrastructures.
Key benefits of
integrated routing and security functions:
-
Gain additional
protection without deploying new hardware—Enable new
security features on your existing routers using Cisco
IOS Software
-
Maximize security
where you need it most—Apply security functions, such as
firewall and IPS, anywhere in the network, including
remote branches
-
Save time and
money—Reduce the total number of devices in your
network, which decreases on-going support and
manageability costs.
