Solutions designed to protect your business
Solution components
Solution components for LAN Security Solutions typically include:
- Router based firewall and access control lists
- Wireless access controllers
Security appliances
- VPN Concentrator
- Firewall
- Intrusion Protection
Firewall Options
A reliable firewall is absolutely essential for a secure network. Instead of providing only point products that set a base level of security, we’ll embed firewall security throughout the network and integrate security services in all of its products. That way, firewall security becomes a transparent, scalable, and manageable aspect of the business infrastructure. Based on modular, scalable platforms, each firewall is designed to secure varying network environments. And it can be independently deployed to secure a specific area of the network infrastructure, or it can be combined for a layered, defence-in-depth approach.
Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security
Provides intelligent threat defence and secure communications services that stop attacks in their tracks. The Cisco ASA 5500 series lets you lower your deployment and operations costs while delivering comprehensive security for networks of all sizes. We can also supply other security features with various switches and routers.
Attack and Intrusion Prevention
Business networks of all sizes now face increasingly sophisticated attacks that can impede productivity, obstruct access to applications and resources, and cause significant communications disruption. And because of compliance regulations and consumer privacy laws, business priorities now include minimising legal liability, protecting brand reputation, and safeguarding intellectual property. The Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) provides end-to-end protection for your network. This inline, network-based defence can identify, classify, and stop known and unknown threats, including worms, network viruses, application threats, system intrusion attempts and application misuse. It’s that clever.
Cisco IPS Sensors and Cisco IPS Sensor Software deliver high performance, intelligent detection with precision response, from the network edge to the data centre. This technology provides metrics in both multimedia and transactional environments, so you can anticipate true IPS performance tailored to your business. The sensors can be deployed widely and incrementally on servers and endpoints, as dedicated appliances, and as service modules on routers, switches, and firewalls. They collaborate and adapt in real time to emerging threats.
All in all, ready for anything.

Network Admission Control
Enforce your security policies on all devices seeking network access. Network Admission Control (NAC) allows only compliant and trusted endpoint devices (such as PCs, servers, and PDAs) onto the network, restricting the access of noncompliant devices, and thereby limiting the potential damage from emerging security threats and risks. NAC gives you a powerful, roles based method of preventing unauthorised access and improving network resiliency.
NAC Appliance is an easily deployed Network Admission Control (NAC) product that uses the network infrastructure to enforce security policy compliance on all devices seeking to access network computing resources. With NAC Appliance, network administrators can authenticate, authorise, evaluate, and remediate wired, wireless, and remote users and their machines prior to network access. It identifies whether networked devices such as laptops, IP phones, or game consoles are compliant with your network's security policies and repairs any vulnerabilities before permitting access to the network.
A truly effective and worthwhile tool to have on your side.
Networks with NAC Appliance can realise benefits such as:
- Security policy compliance - ensures that endpoints conform to security policy; protects infrastructure and employee productivity; secures managed and unmanaged assets; supports internal environments and guest access; tailors policies to your risk level.
- Protects existing investments - compatible with third party management applications; flexible deployment options minimise need for infrastructure upgrades.
- Mitigates risks from viruses, worms, and unauthorized access: controls and reduces large scale infrastructure disruptions; reduces OpEx and helps enable higher IT efficiency; integrates with other Self-Defending Network components to deliver comprehensive security protection.
NAC Deployment Scenarios
NAC can be deployed in all infrastructure scenarios, including corporate LAN, WAN, wireless, and remote access (VPN).
NAC Appliance extends NAC to all network access methods, including access through local area networks (LANs), remote access gateways, and wireless access points. NAC Appliance also supports posture assessment for guest users. When deployed, NAC Appliance provides the following benefits:
- Recognises users, their devices, and their roles in the network. This first step occurs at the point of authentication, before malicious codes can cause damage.
- Evaluates whether machines are compliant with security policies. Security policies can include specific antivirus or antispyware software, OS updates, or patches. NAC Appliance supports policies that vary by user type, device type, or operating system.
- Enforces security policies by blocking, isolating, and repairing non-compliant machines.
- Non-compliant machines are redirected into a quarantine area, where remediation occurs at the discretion of the administrator.
All told, firm but fair. But above all, on your side.
