VPNs
Cisco offers several alternatives for implementing a VPN system, so you can select the approach that most closely aligns with your operational needs. You can set up both remote access and office-to-office VPNs with Cisco IOS Software, through utilities and Advanced Integrated Module hardware encryption boards, or with physical units, such as a VPN access concentrator, router, ASA 5500-X firewalls with Firepower, or devoted Virtual Private Network processor for dial-up functions. All Cisco VPN solutions are easy to integrate and manage and provide the flexibility to grow with future operational needs. Products Associated with Cisco's Protection Technology
