Prevents and responds to network attacks and threats using network services
A key component of the Cisco Self-Defending Network, Cisco integrated services router allows customers to synchronize routing and security policies and reduce their operational costs while raising the level of security throughout the network. With Cisco IOS® Software-based VPN, firewall, and IPS, as well as optional enhanced VPN acceleration, intrusion detection system (IDS), and content-engine network modules, Cisco offers the industry's most robust and adaptable security solution for branch-office routers.
The Cisco Self-Defending Network has four categories of protection that apply to the router:
• Secure connectivity-Provides secure and scalable network connectivity, incorporating multiple types of traffic. Examples include VPN, Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), Multi-VRF and MPLS Secure Contexts, Voice and Video Enabled VPN (V3PN), and secure voice.
• Threat Defense-Prevents and responds to network attacks and threats using network services. Examples include Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and Cisco IOS Firewall.
• Trust and Identity-Allows the network to intelligently protect endpoints using technologies such as Network Admission Control (NAC), Identity services and AAA.
• Network Infrastructure Protection-Protects the network infrastructure from attacks and vulnerabilities, especially at the network level. Examples include control-plane policing, Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) and AutoSecure.
To help enable security features on the Cisco 2800 Series, the following Cisco IOS Software feature sets are available:
• Advanced Enterprise Services
• Advanced IP Services
• Advanced Security
