Every Business – Every Size – Requires Advanced Threat Defence87 percent of small businesses were compromised in 2012 (up 10 percent from 2011)*. And the sophistication of threats continues to increase — adversaries are more capable, funded, and motivated than ever before. Yet your small and midsize customers are underserved by the se-curity solutions that have been available to them. Until now, they had to choose between costly and impractical-to-administer point solutions or legacy firewalls or unified threat management (UTM) solutions that were never designed for advanced threat defence. To maintain a strong level of trust with customers, partners, and employees, businesses of all sizes must think about serious security. Now they can, with Cisco’s next-generation firewalls (NGFW).

Great Sales Opportunity: ASA 5505 Installed Base, New Installations, Competitive ReplacementThe new Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services delivers security for the real world, whether you are protecting a midsize organization, remote office, or distributed enterprise. Approach:

• Current ASA 5505 installed base.• New prospects concerned about threat protection and needing a superior solution.• Competitive legacy firewall or UTM solution users.• Distributed enterprises or branches. The “branch” can be anything

from a home to a retail establishment.• Industrial environments such as oil, utility, and energy companies. Businesses with

demanding environments, including those with poor ventilation and high operating temperatures. (Recommend the 5506H-X.) All these audiences need advanced threat protection.

The new Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services delivers integrated threat defence, low TCO, and simplified security management.
