VPNs
Cisco provides several options for implementing a VPN system, so you can choose the approach that most closely fits your operational requirements. You can install both remote access and office-to-office VPNs with IOS Software, through software and Advanced Integrated Module hardware encryption boards, or with hardware units, such as a Virtual Private Network concentrator, router, ASA 5500-X firewalls with Firepower Services, or devoted Virtual Private Network server for dial-up services. All Cisco VPN solutions are easy to integrate and administer and offer the versatility to grow with changing operational requirements.
