Small businesses are constantly exposed to Internet threats. The Cisco dual WAN Gigabit VPN routers connect small businesses to the Internet and protect employees from unwanted content and malicious websites without compromising the online experience. The routers help boost employee productivity and overall network performance by limiting Internet surfing to appropriate site categories and eliminating unwanted network traffic. Users are automatically protected from malicious or compromised websites, regardless of site categorization. End devices and applications can be identified and treated according to user-defined policies for improved productivity and optimal network usage.
