Synchronization can optionally take place over a high-speed LAN connection, providing another layer of protection by enabling businesses to

geographically separate the failover pair. In the event of a system or network failure, network sessions are automatically transitioned between

appliances, with complete transparency to users.

INTELLIGENT NETWORKING SERVICES ENABLE SIMPLIFIED DEPLOYMENT AND SEAMLESS NETWORK INTEGRATION

Cisco PIX Security Appliances leverage over 20 years of Cisco Systems networking leadership and innovation to deliver a wide-range of intelligent

networking services for seamless integration into today’s diverse network environments. Administrators can easily integrate Cisco PIX Security

Appliances into switched network environments by taking advantage of native 802.1q-based VLAN support. Cisco IP phone deployments can

benefit from the “zero-touch provisioning” services provided by Cisco PIX Security Appliances, which help the phones automatically register with

the appropriate Cisco CallManager and download any additional configuration information and software images. Businesses can improve their

overall network resiliency by taking advantage of the robust Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) dynamic routing services provided by Cisco PIX

Security Appliances, which can detect network outages within seconds and route around them. Mission-critical real-time enterprise applications,

collaborative computing applications, and streaming multimedia services can be securely delivered using the comprehensive PIM-Sparse Mode v2

and Bidirectional-PIM routing support provided by Cisco PIX Security Appliances. Businesses can secure deployments of next-generation IPv6

networks using the advanced IPv6 security services provided by Cisco PIX Security Appliances, while simultaneously securing existing IPv4

environments with the same appliance during the transition period towards an IPv6 infrastructure.

FLEXIBLE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LOWER OPERATIONAL COSTS

The Cisco PIX 525 Security Appliance delivers a wealth of configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting methods, giving businesses flexibility to

use the methods that best meet their needs. Management solutions range from centralized, policy-based management tools to integrated, Web-based

management, to support for remote-monitoring protocols such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and syslog. Cisco PIX Security

Appliances additionally provide up to 16 levels of customizable administrative roles, so that businesses can grant administrators and operations

personnel the appropriate level of access to each appliance, for example: monitoring only access, read-only access to the configuration, network

configuration only, firewall configuration only, and so on.

Next-Generation Centralized Management Solutions

Administrators can easily manage large numbers of Cisco PIX Security Appliances using CiscoWorks VPN/Security Management Solution (VMS).

This suite consists of several integrated software modules including Management Center for Firewalls, Auto Update Server Software, and Security

Monitor. This powerful combination provides a highly scalable, next-generation, three-tier management solution that includes the following features:

• Comprehensive configuration and software image management

• Device hierarchy with “Smart Rules”-based configuration inheritance

• Customizable administrative roles and access privileges

• Comprehensive enterprise change management and auditing

• Intelligent discovery and optimization of security policies and object groups

• “Touchless” software image management for remote Cisco PIX Security Appliances

• Support for dynamically addressed appliances

Attack Mitigation and Event Monitoring Solutions

Network-based attacks can be easily and accurately identified, managed, and eliminated within commercial or enterprise environments using the

Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (CS-MARS) product family. CS-MARS appliances analyze and correlate security events,

syslog, and NetFlow data from numerous desktop, server, and network security solutions to determine actual attack paths and provide mitigation

options, simplifying security incident management for environments where dedicated security analysts may not be available.
