Meraki MX100 Security Appliance

The Cisco Meraki MX100

is a member of the only

100% cloud-managed

UTM series of appliances.

The MX100 appliance self-

provisions, automatically pulling policies and configuration settings from the cloud. Powerful remote tools provide network-wide visibility and control, and enable administration without on-site networking expertise.

 

Cloud services deliver seamless firmware and security signature updates, automatically establish site-to-site VPN tunnels, and provide 24x7 network monitoring. So you are always kept up-to-date via the cloud, providing peace-of-mind to IT administrators. Moreover, the MX100’s browser-based management dashboard completely eliminates the need for training.

 

The MX100 hardware platform is purpose-built for Layer 7 deep packet inspection, with advanced security features including IPS, content filtering, web search filtering, anti-virus - anti-phishing, and IPsec VPN connectivity, while providing the throughput and capacity for modern, bandwidth-intensive networks.

 

The integrated Sourcefire SNORT® engine delivers superior intrusion prevention coverage, a key requirement for PCI 3.0 compliance. The MX100 also uses the Webroot® URL categorization database for CIPA / IWF compliant content-filtering, Kaspersky® engine for anti-virus / anti-phishing filtering, and MaxMind for

geo-IP based security rules.

Ironclad Security for Edge Networks

The MX hardware platform is purpose-built for Layer 7 deep packet inspection, with advanced security features including IPS, content filtering web search filtering anti-virus/anti-phishing, and IPsec VPN connectivity, while providing the throughput and capacity for modern bandwidth-intensive networks.
