Description

• Built-in advanced security

  The Cisco 520 Series Secure Router includes in-depth security features to help protect your most critical business information and communications. A Cisco IOS firewall with application layer inspection offers threat control by helping to protect the network from unauthorized users and minimizes threats on web traffic, outgoing applications, and email by blocking unwanted activity. In addition, built-in encryption using IPSec, Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) lets remote employees connect to the network securely using SSL VPN and Cisco Easy VPN. And advanced security features such as URL filtering blocks access to undesirable websites and inline IPS shields the network from worms and provides sophisticated threat defense.

• Increased performance to run concurrent services

  The Cisco 520 Series Secure Router offers broadband performance while simultaneously running services like firewall, intrusion prevention, VPN encryption, and wireless networking. There is no need to purchase additional security and wireless products. Managing a single all-in-one router is easier and less expensive than managing multiple network devices.

• Built-in managed switch

  For companies with network devices, such as printers or servers, that need to be connected, the Cisco 520 Series Secure Router includes an integrated managed switch. You can set up one port on the switch as a network demilitarized zone (DMZ) to add an additional layer of security to your network. The switch also supports VLANs to let you securely separate traffic on your office network.

• Simplified deployment and management

  Cisco configuration assistant makes it easy to install the Cisco 520 Series Secure Router and manage it from a central point. You can set up the router in minutes using the intuitive graphic interface, without having to learn command-line interface. After the network is up and running, Cisco configuration assistant can generate status reports, synchronize passwords, and upgrade software across all of your Cisco network devices, reducing the time your staff must devote to network deployment and configuration.

• Quality of service (QoS)
