Cisco Virtual Private Networks
Cisco provides multiple alternatives for configuring a VPN system, so you can choose the option that most closely aligns with your business needs. You can set up both remote access and office-to-office Virtual Private Networks with IOS Software, through software and Advanced Integrated Module (AIM) encryption cards, or with hardware devices, such as a Virtual Private Network access concentrator, router, Cisco ASA firewalls with Firepower, or devoted VPN server for dial-up functions. All Cisco VPN solutions are simple to deploy and administer and offer the flexibility to evolve along with future operational needs.
