The Cisco ASA 5520 Anti-X Edition (Part Number: ASA5520-CSC20-K9) is a robust security appliance designed to offer advanced protection for enterprise networks. The appliance is integrated with the Cisco ASA Content Security and Control Security Services Module (CSC-SSM-20), which enhances its capabilities by incorporating powerful web content filtering, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-phishing services. This ensures improved network security by blocking malicious content at the gateway level.
One of the key features of the ASA 5520 is its support for 750 VPN peers, allowing secure access for remote users who rely on Virtual Private Networks. It also delivers a solid 450 Mbps of firewall throughput, making it suitable for medium to large enterprises that require efficient and quick data transfers. The appliance includes two 10/100/1000 Ethernet interfaces and supports up to three security contexts, enabling flexible network segmentation and enhanced security policies for different parts of the organisation.
The CSC-SSM-20 module plays a critical role in content inspection and control. It provides real-time inspection of web traffic, with capabilities to block web-based threats and unwanted content. By relieving the main processor from intensive security processing tasks, the module allows the system to maintain high network performance while ensuring threats are promptly handled. Additionally, it facilitates file blocking, URL filtering, and email security, all helping to prevent any potential attacks from infiltrating the network.
With built-in threat prevention measures and extensive content filtering, the Cisco ASA 5520 Anti-X Edition is a reliable solution for organisations that need comprehensive protection at both the firewall and application levels. Its scalability, combined with advanced security features, makes it a strong addition to any network environment.
