Guide to chose Cisco Firewall Device.

[aamirshafiq]

Hi!

I would like know about the Firewall Device selection. We are mid-sized business with 5 Servers and 15 Switches network. We are planning to have a web server/database server in house. I need guidance to choose a firewall device that can protect our network and still public can access our web server securely.

Your help comments really appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

Mostly firewall device achieve those processes. You may concern other topics. DDOS attacks, Botnet filter, VPN capability.

Such as ASA firewall split their interfaces by security-level. It cannot permit traffic from lower security-level to higher security-level except you permit special traffic.
