DESCRIPTION
A key component of the Cisco secure borderless network, the Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance delivers superior scalability, a broad span of technology and solutions, and effective, always-on security designed to meet the needs of a wide array of deployments. By integrating the proven firewall; a comprehensive, highly effective intrusion prevention system (IPS); high-performance VPN and always-on remote access, the Cisco ASA 5500 series helps organizations provide secure, high performance connectivity and protects critical assets for maximum productivity.
Cisco ASA 5585-X adaptive security appliance is tailored to meet the high performance needs of mission-critical data centers and provide peace of mind with Cisco guaranteed coverage. Supporting the highest VPN session counts and twice as many connections per second as competitive firewalls in its class, Cisco ASA 5585-X appliance meets the growing needs of dynamic organizations. The appliance combines the proven firewall with the comprehensive, effective IPS, offering the effective security solution in the industry to significantly decrease business risk and address regulatory compliance-all in a compact 2-rack-unit footprint.
All four ASA 5585-X model reliably delivers exceptional scalability to meet the demanding needs of mission-critical data centers. The Cisco ASA 5585-X appliance can support many concurrent VPN sessions, while delivering up to twice the connections per second and up to four times the session count of other firewalls at a similar throughput. The appliance also provides twice the efficacy and the comprehensive threat coverage of any IPS.
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Market-proven security capabilities
The Cisco ASA 5500 series integrates multiple full-featured, high-performance security services, including application-aware firewall, SSL and IPsec VPN, IPS, antivirus, anti-spam, anti-phishing, and web filtering services. Combined with real-time reputation technology, these technologies deliver highly effective network- and application-layer security, user-based access control, worm mitigation, malware protection, improved employee productivity, instant messaging and peer-to-peer control, and secure remote user and site connectivity. The IPS with market leading reputation technology, Cisco IPS with global correlation provides twice the efficacy of legacy IPS. Offering seamless client and clientless access for a broad spectrum of desktop and mobile platforms, the Cisco ASA 5585-X delivers always-on secure mobility with integrated web security and IPS for policy enforcement and threat protection.
- Extensible integrated services architecture
The Cisco ASA 5500 series offers businesses strong, adaptive protection from the fast-evolving threat environment through its unique combination of hardware and software extensibility and its powerful Modular Policy Framework (MPF). The extensible multiprocessor design and software architecture of the Cisco ASA 5500 series enables businesses to easily install additional high-performance security services through security services processors (SSPs), security services modules (SSMs) and security services cards (SSCs). This provides businesses with outstanding investment protection, while enabling them to expand the security services profile of their Cisco ASA 5500 series as their security and performance needs grow. All these services are easily managed through the powerful Cisco modular policy framework, which allows businesses to create highly customized security policies while making it simple to add security and networking services into their existing policies.
- Reduced deployment and operations costs
The Cisco ASA 5500 series enables standardization on a single platform to reduce the overall operational cost of security. A common environment for configuration simplifies management and reduces training costs for staff, while the common hardware platform of the series reduces sparing costs. Additional efficiencies are realized by deploying integrated capabilities, obviating the need for the complex designs required to connect standalone solutions.
- Comprehensive management interfaces
The graphical Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM), a comprehensive command line interface (CLI), verbose syslog, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support round out a rich complement of management options. Multi-unit deployments benefit greatly from Cisco security manager, a platform capable of managing distributed deployments of hundreds of devices.
