Cisco PIX-501-BUN-K9 Firewall 100 Megabits per second New In Its Original Sealed BoxThe Cisco® PIX® 501 provides enterprise-class security for small offices and telecommuting environments,
in a specially designed, reliable, and easy-to-deploy appliance.
Its compact, high-performance design integrates a four-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch,
making it ideal for securing high-speed broadband Internet connections.
As part of the market-leading Cisco PIX security appliance range, the Cisco PIX 501 security appliance offers
a wide range of rich integrated security services, advanced networking services, and powerful
remote management in a compact, all-in-one security solution.
Enterprise-class security for small office environments
The Cisco PIX 501 security appliance offers multilayer defense for small business network environments
through rich integrated security services, including stateful inspection firewall services,
advanced application and protocol inspection, site-to-site and remote access VPN,
online intrusion prevention, and robust multimedia and voice security, all in a single integrated solution.
Cisco PIX security appliances incorporate Cisco’s state-of-the-art adaptive security algorithm,
which provides dynamic inspection firewall services by tracking the state of all authorized network communications
and prevent unauthorized network access.
As an additional security layer, Cisco PIX security appliances integrate more than two dozen
specialized inspection that performs deep inspection of layers 4 to 7 of network traffic flows for
many popular applications and protocols today.
To defend networks against application layer attacks and give businesses more control over
applications and protocols in their environment, these inspection engines incorporate deep knowledge of
applications and protocols and use security application technologies ranging from compliance verification
protocols.
Administrators can easily create custom security policies using the many technologies of
flexible access control provided by Cisco PIX security appliances, including network and service object groups,
turbo access control lists (ACLs), user- and group-based policies, and more than 100 applications
predefined protocols.
By combining these flexible access control technologies with powerful dynamic inspection firewall services and
advanced application and protocol inspection services provided by Cisco PIX security appliances,
businesses can easily enforce their network security policies and protect their networks against attacks.
market-leading VoIP security services protect next-generation converged networks
Cisco PIX security appliances offer cutting-edge protection for a wide range of Voice over IP (VoIP) and
multimedia, enabling businesses to safely leverage the many benefits offered by converged networks
data, voice, and video.
By combining VPN with advanced protocol inspection services provided by Cisco PIX security appliances for these
converged networking standards, businesses can securely extend voice and multimedia services to
home office and remote office environments for reduced total cost of ownership, improved productivity, and
increased competitive advantage.
Flexible VPN services economically extend networks to remote networks and mobile users
With the comprehensive VPN features of the Cisco PIX 501 security appliance, businesses can securely extend
secure their networks via low-cost Internet connections for mobile users, business partners, and
enterprise networks worldwide.
Supported solutions range from standards-based site-to-site VPNs using Internet Key Exchange VPN standards
(IKE) and IPSec capabilities to the innovative Cisco Easy VPN features found in Cisco PIX security appliances and other
Cisco Systems® security solutions—such as Cisco IOS® routers and Cisco VPN 3000 series concentrators.
Cisco Easy VPN offers a unique, scalable, cost-effective, and easy-to-manage remote access VPN architecture that eliminates
operational tasks associated with maintaining remote device configurations typically required by
traditional VPNs.
Integrated intrusion prevention protects against the most widespread Internet threats
The built-in online intrusion prevention capabilities of the Cisco PIX 501 security appliance can protect networks
small businesses against many common forms of attacks, including denial of service (DoS) attacks
and malformed packet attacks.
Using a multitude of advanced intrusion prevention features, including DNSGuard, FloodGuard,
FragGuard, MailGuard, IPVerify, and TCP interception, in addition to detecting more than 55 different attack "signatures,"
Cisco PIX security appliances closely monitor attacks, can potentially block them, and can provide
real-time notification to administrators.
By integrating all the security features found in other Cisco PIX security appliances,
the Cisco PIX 501 security appliance offers the rich and consistent protection that all broadband users seek in a
easy-to-use and deploy solution.
Simple and high-speed networking for small businesses
The Cisco PIX 501 security appliance offers a convenient way for multiple computers to share a single high-speed connection
throughput via its built-in high-performance four-port 10/100 Mbps switch.
Additionally, Cisco PIX security appliances provide NAT and Port Address Translation (PAT) features to
mask the actual network addresses of devices on your network.
Users can also enjoy plug-and-play networking by leveraging the DHCP server
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) built into PIX, which automatically assigns network addresses to their computers
when powered on.
The Cisco PIX 501 security appliance provides all the necessary features to seamlessly integrate into
today's high-speed network environments.
Robust remote management solutions Reduced total cost of ownership
The Cisco PIX 501 security appliance is a reliable and easy-to-maintain platform that offers a wide variety of methods for
configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
Management solutions range from centralized policy management tools to integrated web management to
supports remote monitoring standards such as SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and syslog.
Administrators can easily manage a large number of remote Cisco PIX security appliances using CiscoWorks
VPN/Security Management Solution (VMS).
This suite consists of several integrated software modules, including Management Center for Firewalls,
Auto Update Server Software and Security Monitor.
This powerful combination provides a highly scalable next-generation three-tier management solution that
includes the following features:
• Comprehensive configuration and software image management
• Device hierarchy with configuration inheritance based on "smart rules"
• Customizable administration roles and access privileges
Additionally, Cisco offers the CiscoWorks Security Information Management solution (SIMS), a management solution
highly scalable security events that collect, analyze, and correlate security event data from
the entire enterprise, allowing you to identify and respond to highly prioritized security events as
that they occur.
