Integrate Security Into the Network Foundation

The Cisco Self-Defending Network begins with securing the network platform by integrating security into the foundation of the network. Every part of the network is secured and management is simplified.

Cisco IOS Software on routers offers a comprehensive suite of security technologies like Cisco IOS Firewall, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), IP Security (IPsec), and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN. Cisco routers provide robust and adaptable security solutions that help defend against threats to the network infrastructure like denial of service attacks.
