Cisco PIX Firewall


Cisco PIX Firewall, the leading product in its segment of the market, is a high-speed, dedicated firewall appliance that delivers strong security without impacting network performance. The new PIX 515 chassis expands this world-leading product line with a low-profile, lower-cost entry and midrange model. At 1RU (1.72") height, the PIX 515 saves valuable rack space without sacrificing throughput. With support for 50,000 and 100,000 connections, the PIX 515 is ideal for smaller or remote locations. In combination with the PIX 520 (which supports 250,000 connections), Cisco now offers an unmatched dedicated firewall product family.

Cisco NetRanger


NetRanger is an enterprise-scale, real-time, intrusion detection system designed to detect, report, and terminate unauthorized activity throughout a network.

NetRanger can operate in both Internet and intranet environments to protect an organization's entire network. NetRanger consists of two components: NetRanger Sensor and NetRanger Director. Transparent to network performance, NetRanger Sensors analyze the content and context of individual packets to determine if the traffic is unauthorized. If a network's data stream experiences unauthorized activity, such as a SATAN attack, a ping sweep, or a secret research project code word, NetRanger Sensors detect the policy violation in real time, forward alarms to a NetRanger Director management console, and remove the offender from the network.

Cisco NetRanger

  • A network-based, real-time intrusion detection system capable of monitoring an entire enterprise network

  • A robust, 24 hour x 7 day-a-week monitoring and response system with the latest attack detection capabilities

  • A distributed intrusion detection system capable of directing and forwarding alarms between local, regional, and headquarters-based monitoring consoles

  • A scalable architecture to allow the deployment of large numbers of Sensors and Directors in order to provide comprehensive security coverage in large network environments.
