Virtual Private Networks
Cisco provides several alternatives for implementing a VPN system, allowing you to select the approach that most closely aligns with your operational requirements. You can install both remote connectivity and office-to-office VPNs with IOS Software, with software and Advanced Integrated Module encryption boards, or with physical units, such as a VPN concentrator, router, Cisco ASA 5500-X firewalls with Firepower, or dedicated Virtual Private Network processor for dial-up services. All Cisco VPN approaches are simple to integrate and administer and provide the versatility to evolve with future business requirements.
