Introduction
If you have a business connected to the Internet with a dedicated connection like ISDN, DSL or T1, then you will want to make sure you have a security policy in place to keep the outside world out. Amaonline now has the perfect answer. The Cisco Secure PIX Firewall 506 is perfect for the small to medium office. It costs less than $2,000, and is regarded as the best firewall in the world! You cannot get this type of protection from any other security device for this price.

With the introduction of software release 5.2, you can now have all the features previously found in security systems costing upwards of $5000!

Features
Intrusion Detection
The PIX Firewall's Intrusion Detection System (IDS) identifies 53 common attacks using signatures to detect patterns of misuse in network traffic. These signatures represent severe breaches of security, including the most common network attacks and information-gathering scans.

DHCP Server Support
Now you can run your DHCP server from the firewall.

Cisco VPN 3000 Client Support
The Cisco VPN Client is an easy to use software program that will let you connect back into your network from any where in the world! All you need is an Internet connection. You can work from home, or from the road. The PIX 506 gives you the freedom and mobility you have been asking for.

TCP Intercept
TCP Intercept protects your network from Ping-Of-Death attacks and people trying to take your network down by sending a lot of packets at your computers.

Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding
This feature keeps people from gaining access to your network by spoofing your internal IP addresses. This is usually how hackers gain access to your network using programs like a Trojan Horse.

Cost Comparison
Implementing a Cisco Secure PIX 506 Firewall is much more cost effective than using a UNIX based firewall or an NT Proxy Server, plus the security you get is hundreds of times better!

Cost
NT Proxy Server $3,000
UNIX Firewall $2,500
Cisco PIX 502 $1,950
