Protect a PIX config from password removal utilities - can the PIX erase it's own config as a security measure if passwords are removed?

Asked by jkeegan123 in Cisco PIX Firewall, Networking Hardware Firewalls, Enterprise Firewalls

Tags: Cisco, PIX, 515E

Is is possible to have the PIX erase the startup-config if the password is removed in ROMMON using the (well known) BIN file utility?

Asked another way:  What measures can be taken to prevent a PIX from having its configuration leaked, especially using password removal utilities?

* My password is already hardned
* I know that the best security measure is to keep the device in a locked secured area, it IS in a secured area, but that area is offsite and the security of that room cannot be guaranteed, what if the PIX is stolen?
