Virtual Private Networks
Cisco provides multiple alternatives for implementing a Virtual Private Network solution, allowing you to select the option that most closely aligns with your operational needs. You can install both remote access and office-to-office Virtual Private Networks with IOS Software, with software and Advanced Integrated Module (AIM) hardware encryption boards, or with hardware devices, such as a Virtual Private Network access concentrator, router, ASA firewalls with Firepower, or dedicated VPN processor for dial-up functions. All Cisco Virtual Private Network approaches are simple to deploy and manage and offer the versatility to evolve along with your changing business requirements.
