ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances are purpose-built solutions that
combine best-in-class security and VPN services with an innovative, extensible services
architecture. Designed as a core component of the Cisco Self-Defending Network, the
Cisco ASA 5500 Series provides proactive threat defense that stops attacks before they
spread through the network, controls network activity and application traffic, and delivers
flexible VPN connectivity. The result is a powerful multifunction network security appliance
family that provides the security breadth and depth for protecting home office, branch
office, small and medium-sized business, enterprise, and data center networks while
reducing the overall deployment and operations costs and complexities associated with
providing this new level of security.
The Cisco ASA 5500 Series delivers a powerful combination of multiple market-proven
technologies in a single platform, making it operationally and economically feasible for
organizations to deploy comprehensive security services to more locations. The comprehensive
portfolio of services within the Cisco ASA 5500 Series enables customization for location-specific
needs through tailored product editions for small to medium-sized businesses and for enterprises.
These editions enable superior protection by providing the right services for the right location.
Each edition combines a focused set of Cisco ASA 5500 Series services (such as firewall, SSL
and IPsec VPN, IPS, and content security services) to meet the needs of specific environments
within the enterprise network. By ensuring the security needs of each location are met, the overall
network security posture is raised.
