Integrated Network Firewall and Security
Security is a fundamental building block of any network, and Cisco products play an important role in embedding security at the
customer's access edge. The Cisco IOS Firewall is a stateful-inspection firewall available with the Cisco Unified Communications 500
Series. Built from market-leading Cisco PIX® Firewall technologies, Cisco IOS Firewall is supported on the Cisco Unified
Communications 500 Series platform as a base feature. Cisco IOS Firewall is an ideal single-box solution for protecting the WAN
entry point into the network.
Virtual Private Networking
VPNs carry private data over a public network and extend remote access to users over a shared infrastructure. VPNs maintain the
same security and management policies as private networks and are the most cost-effective means of establishing point-to-point
connection between remote users and a central network. VPNs have been the fastest-growing form of network connectivity, and Cisco
takes this approach to a new standard by making VPN functions an integral part of the Cisco Unified Communications offering. The
Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series includes built-in hardware-based encryption acceleration that offloads IP Security (IPsec),
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Data Encryption Standard (DES), and Triple DES (3DES) encryption and VPN processes to
provide increased VPN throughput with minimal effect on the Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series CPU.
