Network Security
Cisco Integrated Network Security Solutions
As a Cisco Premier Partner with expertise in Cisco's VPN/Security applications, DataSource is superbly qualified to implement the full range of Cisco network security solutions. Our qualified engineers have a wide range of experience from Pix Firewall configuration to full IPSec VPN solutions.
Cisco Systems develops modular, scalable, feature-rich security and VPN solutions on flexible deployment platforms, including specialized appliances and Cisco IOS® routers and switches, to allow the safe deployment of mission-critical business applications and services on interconnected IP networks.
A roadmap to Cisco network security:
Perimeter Security: This provides the means to control access to critical network applications, data, and services so that only legitimate users and information can pass through the network. Routers and switches with access control lists and/or stateful firewalling, as well as dedicated firewall appliances provide this control.
The world-leading Cisco PIX® Security Appliance Series provides robust, enterprise-class, integrated network security services including:
Stateful inspection firewalling
Protocol and application inspection
Virtual private networking (VPN)
In-line intrusion detection and prevention
Rich multimedia and voice security-in cost-effective, easy-to-deploy solutions
Cisco PIX Security Appliances provide robust security, performance, and reliability for network environments of all sizes.
Identity: Identity is the accurate and positive identification of network users, hosts, applications, services, and resources.
The Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) is a high-performance, highly scalable, centralized user access control framework. Cisco Secure ACS offers centralized command and control for all user authentication, authorization, and accounting from a Web-based, graphical interface, and distributes those controls to hundreds or thousands of access gateways in your network.
Security Monitoring: To ensure that a network remains secure, it's important to regularly test and monitor the state of security preparation. Using security monitoring solutions, organizations can obtain unprecedented visibility into both the network data stream and the security posture of the network.
CiscoWorks VPN/Security Management Solution (VMS), an integral part of the SAFE blueprint for network security, combines Web-based tools for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting enterprise virtual private networks (VPNs), firewalls, and network and host-based intrusion detection systems (IDS).
CiscoWorks VMS delivers the industry's first robust and scalable foundation and feature set that addresses the needs of small and large-scale VPN and security deployments.
Data Privacy: When information must be protected from eavesdropping, the ability to provide authenticated, confidential communication on demand is crucial. Often, additional privacy requirements call for the use of digital encryption technology and protocols such as IPSec. This added protection is especially important when implementing VPNs.
