Cisco PIX-501-50-BUN-K9 Hardware Firewall Networking

The Cisco PIX 501 Security Appliance delivers a multilayered defense for small offices through rich security services including stateful inspection firewalling, protocol and application inspection, virtual private networking (VPN), in-line intrusion protection, and rich multimedia and voice security in a single device. The state-of-the-art Cisco Adaptive Security Algorithm (ASA) provides rich stateful inspection firewall services, tracking the state of all authorized network communications and preventing unauthorized network access.

Small offices benefit from an additional layer of security via intelligent, "application-aware" security services that examine packet streams at Layers 4-7, using inspection engines specialized for many of today's popular applications. Administrators can also easily create custom security policies for firewall traffic by using the flexible access control methods and the more than 100 predefined applications, services, and protocols that Cisco PIX Security Appliances provide.
