Best Cisco ISA-3000-4C-K9 hardware firewall 2 Gbit/s for Business

The Cisco® Industrial Security Appliances are true industrial firewalls that provide OT targeted protection based on proven enterprise class security.

The ISA 3000 with four data links is a DIN rail mount, ruggedized appliance that provides the widest range of Access, Threat, and Application controls for the harshest and most demanding of industrial environments.

The ISA 3000 Series starts with the same industrial success of the IE 4000 switch hardware design and adds the proven security of the Cisco ASA firewall and Source Fire Next Generation IPS software. The ISA 3000 is the answer to provide both safety and security to your network modernization projects. It also provides the anchor point for converging IT and OT security visibility without interfering with industrial operational practice. This security appliance is built to withstand extreme environments, reflect industrial design, all the while adhering to overall IT network design, compliance, and performance requirements.

The ISA 3000 Series is ideal for industrial Ethernet applications where hardened products are required. The product is successfully running in major electrical utilities, energy production, mining and other automation environments. Further uses are intelligent transportation systems (ITS), city surveillance programs, and water/wastewater utilities. Security and safety visibility has never been higher with the ability to simultaneously track suspect file propagation, coil set points, abnormal traffic patterns, and escalation of privileges all within a single device. This industrial element of Cisco’s secure networking portfolio cooperatively interacts with other industrial grade Cisco solutions as well as provides complete vision to interactions between your local cell, the IT world, outside vendors, or contractor activity.

Proper deployment of the ISA 3000 industrial firewall can fulfill security requirements associated with a variety of industrial standards, regulations, and guidelines such as: NERC-CIP, ISA 99, ISA 62443, CFATS, ANSI/AWWA G430 and others.

Managed through either a user-friendly on-box system manager or company wide security management, the ISA 3000 provides industrial focused, out-of-the-box configuration and simplified operational manageability. These highly customizable management options allows for simplified local operational awareness and higher order IT/OT security convergence for the inevitable mingling of industrial and IT capabilities.
