SILVER AWARD: Cisco Systems' ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance
Readers were sold on Cisco's ASA 5500 UTM product, especially for its breadth of functions, such as firewall, IPS, VPN and antimalware capabilities. "We like it because of its ability to recognize unusual behaviors," says Carl Goodman, IS manager with Premier Valley Bank in Fresno, Calif. "Other vendors just work with signature files. I liked that proactive approach." Goodman has used ASA 5500 for six months to secure his employer's internal network, and was high on Cisco support. "Cisco was the leader in new technologies, and because they're a large company they have a lot of staff if I have a question," he says.
