making it ideal for securing high-speed broadband Internet connections.
Part of the market-leading Cisco PIX security appliance range, the Cisco PIX 501 security appliance offers a
a wide range of rich integrated security services, advanced networking services, and powerful capabilities of
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
thanks to rich integrated security services, including stateful inspection firewall services,
advanced application and protocol inspection, a site-to-site and remote access VPN,
an online intrusion prevention, and robust multimedia and voice security, all in a single integrated solution.
Cisco PIX security appliances integrate the cutting-edge Cisco adaptive security algorithm,
that provides dynamic stateful inspection firewall services by tracking the state of all allowed network communications
and prevent unauthorized access to the network.
As an additional layer of security, Cisco PIX security appliances integrate more than two dozen engines
specially designed inspection engines that perform deep inspection of layers 4 to 7 of network traffic flows for
many popular applications and protocols of today.
To defend networks against application layer attacks and give businesses more control over the
applications and protocols in their environment, these inspection engines integrate in-depth knowledge of
applications and protocols and use application security technologies that range from compliance checking
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 and protocols.
By combining these flexible access control technologies with powerful dynamic inspection firewall services and the
advanced application and protocol inspection services provided by Cisco PIX security appliances,
businesses can easily enforce their network security policies and protect their networks from attacks.
Market-leading VoIP security services protect next-generation converged networks
Cisco PIX security appliances provide cutting-edge protection for a wide range of voice over IP (VoIP) standards and
multimedia, allowing businesses to securely 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 a
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
security their networks via low-cost Internet connections to mobile users, business partners, and

Supported solutions range from standards-based site-to-site VPNs using Internet Key Exchange VPN standards
(IKE) and IPSec (IPSec) to the innovative capabilities of Cisco Easy VPN found in Cisco PIX security appliances and others
Cisco Systems® security solutions - such as Cisco IOS® routers and Cisco VPN concentrators series 3000.
Cisco Easy VPN offers a unique, scalable, cost-effective, and easy-to-manage remote access VPN architecture that eliminates costs
operational associated with the maintenance of remote device configurations generally required by solutions
traditional VPNs.
The 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 forms of common attacks, including denial of service (DoS) attacks
and malformed packet attacks.
By using a multitude of advanced intrusion prevention features, including DNSGuard, FloodGuard,
FragGuard, MailGuard, IPVerify, and TCP interception, in addition to searching for over 55 different attack "signatures,"
Cisco PIX security appliances closely monitor attacks, can potentially block them, and can provide a
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 high-speed 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
through its high-performance built-in 10/100 Mbit/s four-port switch.
Additionally, Cisco PIX security appliances provide NAT and Port Address Translation (PAT) features for
mask the actual network addresses of your network devices.
Users can also take advantage of plug-and-play networking by leveraging the DHCP server
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) integrated into PIX, which automatically assigns the network addresses of their computers
when they are powered on.
The Cisco PIX 501 security appliance provides all the necessary features to seamlessly integrate into the
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 support for
handles remote monitoring standards such as the 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.
