Cisco Systems Promotions August CISCO PIX SME SOLUTIONS  Security has always been a concern for businesses of all sizes and with the technology developments over the last decade, companies have had to fundamentally change the way that they approach this critical technology area. Ten years ago, preventing any external access to a network was considered to be of paramount importance, but with the adoption of the Web and e Business solutions, telecommuting etc, the focus, though still on protecting networks, is now about ensuring secure network access for authorised internal and external users. A key component of any security solution is the firewall. The firewall often acts as the first line of defence, protecting a network by acting as a barrier through which all traffic to and from the Internet must pass. The Cisco PIX Security Appliance plays a vital role in the Cisco strategy to use integrated security to build secure networks and deliver stunning performance whilst maintaining simultaneous connection without affecting the end- user performance. For applications where rigorous security and high throughput are essential, Cisco PIX firewalls are the logical solution.
