The Cisco SA 540 Security Appliance is a simple-to-install, easy-to-use, all-in-one security solution designed specifically for businesses with fewer than 100 employees. Featuring eight high-speed LAN ports, it combines secure Internet, site-to-site, and remote connectivity with firewall, email, and web security capabilities to protect a small business while improving employee productivity.

Network Security
This powerful protector allows your business traffic to flow in and out of your network while keeping unwanted visitors out. The SA 540 supports a demilitarized zone (DMZ) to safely host file, web, and other Internet-accessible servers without exposing the business’s internal LAN network to threats.

Powerful Protection
With support for VeriSign VIP services, the SA 540 also provides two-factor authentication and one-time-use password access control. This increases the security of employees connecting remotely without the need to purchase any additional authentication equipment.

Real-time Protection
Trend Micro ProtectLink Web and E-mail Security is a hosted security service that’s integral to the operations of the SA 540. Small business owners can subscribe to its powerful anti-spam, anti-phishing, URL content filtering, and web reputation features to block standalone, blended-threat, and customer-specific attacks. These features prevent unwanted content from passing through the SA 540, and protect users from receiving spam e-mail and landing on websites that are infected with spyware. This service requires configuration on the SA 540 and service activation with Trend Micro.

ProtectLink Gateway will scan your email for more than three million different virus patterns and more than 400,000 spyware patterns. Additional antispam technology is provided via 10 different inspection technologies that evaluate not just the sender’s network address reputation, but also the actual content of the email itself.

Simple Management
The SA 540 can be managed via the embedded Security Appliance Configuration Utility, a powerful yet easy-to-use browser-based management and monitoring interface. This single solution provides comprehensive configuration and monitoring of all the services in a single application.

The Security Appliance Configuration Utility can also be launched from Cisco Configuration Assistant. In addition, the SA 540 supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) monitoring and email alerts—giving you direct access to the critical information you need to keep your network secure and swift.
