The Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance, part of the ASA 5500 series, offers a combination of advanced firewall features along with powerful intrusion prevention systems. The device is specifically designed for small and medium-sized businesses or branch offices. This security appliance is integrated with a Cisco Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Card 5 (AIP-SSC-5), which enhances its ability to inspect, filter, and prevent a wide range of network threats while maintaining high performance.
The ASA 5505 simplifies network security by offering stateful firewall features, advanced VPN support, and comprehensive threat mitigation. The unit includes eight 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports (with two dedicated Power-over-Ethernet ports), allowing flexible network configurations to segment and protect your network traffic. Users can also take advantage of the integrated VPN concentrator to ensure secure remote access for distributed teams.
The addition of the AIP-SSC-5 module delivers comprehensive deep packet inspection, analysing traffic for worms, attacks, trojans, and various network intrusions. The AIP-SSC-5 is an effective solution to guard against both known and zero-day threats. This card's seamless integration within the Cisco ASA 5505 helps maintain optimal performance even when grainy-level inspection is enabled.
This model supports up to 50 authenticated users and offers multiple security contexts. The small form factor of the unit, combined with fan-less silent operation, makes it an optimal solution for deployment in environments where space and noise are key considerations.
