Firewall
With an always-on broadband connection to the Internet, it is essential to protect the internal network against
unwanted intrusion or malicious Internet attacks. The integrated stateful inspection firewall in the Cisco 1710
Security Access Router enables secure Internet access by internal users while defending the enterprise network against
denial-of-service attacks and other forms of unauthorized access.
The Cisco 1710 integrates robust firewall functionality and intrusion detection system (IDS) for every perimeter of
the network. It adds greater depth and flexibility to Cisco IOS security solutions such as authentication and
encryption by including state-of-the-art security features such as stateful, application-based filtering, Context-Based
Access Control (CBAC), denial of service protection, dynamic per-user authentication and authorization, defense
against network attacks, Java blocking, and real-time alerts.
The Power of Cisco IOS
Powered by Cisco IOS technology, the Cisco 1710 includes a host of powerful software features to enable secure
communications among branch offices or between remote offices and a corporate headquarter while providing
unsurpassed network control, maximizing the value of existing infrastructure investments, and reducing costs.
