Safeguard against threats such as malware, intrusions, and denial-of-service attacks while maintaining high levels of network and branch office performance with Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) and Cisco Aggregated Services Routers (ASRs).Cisco SecureX Architecture builds router security into the platform.

Cisco IOS Software on Cisco ISRs and WAN aggregation routers offers a suite of router security technologies including:

• Cisco ISR Web Security with Cisco ScanSafe
• Cisco IOS Firewall
• Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
• IPSec VPN and SSL VPN, and VPN Internal Service Module (VPN ISM)
• Cisco IOS Content Filtering

Enhanced router security means that you can protect your networks and rely on your business collaboration tools and applications.

Benefits of Built-In Router Security

• Gain additional protection without deploying new hardware: Enable new network security features on your existing routers using Cisco IOS Software.
