First impression on new Cisco ASA 5500-X Series firewalls

Historically, Cisco has acquired firewall technology in 1995 during acquisition of Network Translation. For years Cisco PIX appliances were one of the most popular firewalls in the world, until it was replaces by Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance in 2005. Eventually, Cisco announced end-of-sale for PIX in 2008.

 

Adaptive Security Appliances introduced significant performance improvements, new security features as well as Cisco ASDM (Adaptive Security Device Manager). ASA devices can be extended by additional security modules that can provide extended layer of protection mostly designed for data centre networks. IPS (Intrusion Protection System) is often being used first line of defence for DOS and DDOS attacks which are very common in many industries including online gambling and media.

 

Some of our clients have experienced outages during the DOS/DDOS attacks due to lack of capacity on a security appliance. The main benefit of upgrading to a new series of Cisco ASA 5500-X devices is increased performance. VPN Throughput, maximum number of connections, connections per second as well as IPS throughput are significantly increased.
