Chapter 3 Deploying Firepower Managed Devices
Deployment Options
On a Remote or Mobile Network
Remote networks, located off-site, often use a virtual private network (VPN) to provide access to the
primary network. Mobile devices and the use of personal devices for business purposes (for example,
using a "smart phone" to access corporate email) are becoming increasingly common.
These networks can be highly dynamic environments with rapid and continual change. Deploying a
managed device on a dedicated mobile or remote network allows you to create a strict access control
policy to monitor and manage traffic to and from unknown external sources. Your policy can reduce your
risk by rigidly limiting how users, network, and applications access core resources.
