While the Internet has transformed and improved the way we do business, this vast network and its associated technologies have opened the door to an increasing number of security threats. The challenge for successful, public web sites is to encourage access to the site while eliminating undesirable or malicious traffic and to provide sufficient levels of security without constraining performance or scalability. The more reliant organizations become on the Internet to perform daily jobs or conduct transactions, the greater the impact a breach of network security has. Just as Cisco Systems has been an innovator in using the Internet to conduct business, so too is it a market leader in the development and sale of products and technologies that protect data traveling across the Internet. Yet a network security solution is only as strong as its weakest link. Network attacks can occur at any point, including the network connection, the firewall, the web server, or the client. Hardening the defenses at all these points is key to creating an effective, all-encompassing network security solution.
