You can also use a pix firewall. Its a smaller and cheaper solution. if you don't need as much as the asa provides.

<div>
The ASA is the next-generation PIX and the PIX line will be going away. The ASA is a much better value for less money than a PIX.

<div>
ok, i'm only familiar with the pix line. So thats a better choice
</div>


<div>
Smaller PIX 501/506 will not support the SSL VPN or CSD.<br />
Small ASA 5505 will.<br />

<div>
yes i was agreeing with you in case i wasn't clear. I just learned something new. TY

Hi,<br />
<br />
Thank you all.<br />
<br />
What if the solution we are using is Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator? what are the options for maximum security?<br />
<br />
CoccoBill, how can I implement the rules you stated? Is there any product that does do?<br />
<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
You know that remote users of VPN &nbsp;use thier own PCs which may have security issues.<br />
<br />
I need to make VPN connections to our LAN as secure as I can. How is that possible?<br />
<br />

How can I secure VPN connections

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.
