	December 8, 2006 Cisco Systems Offers The Most Integrated Security In The SSL VPN Appliance Market The Forrester Wave™ Vendor Summary, Q4 2006 by Robert Whiteley with Simon Yates, Christine E. Atwood

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Cisco Systems has been a player in the SSL VPN market for several years, but last year's introduction of its ASA 5500 Adaptive Security Appliance moved Cisco up several rungs on the SSL VPN appliance ladder. But Cisco differs from Leaders like Aventail, F5 Networks, and Juniper Networks by focusing more on a network-based solution. What does that mean exactly? Rather than deep access control, Cisco focuses on a more flexible IPsec and SSL VPN solution with an impressive array of integrated security functions. The ASA provides a one-stop remote access and threat protection gateway, but we recommend evaluating other SSL VPN solutions if you require broad mobile device support and granular application-level authorization today.
