Better Security for Your Site

Security is a major factor when it comes to the Internet. It seems that everyday some else is finding that they are a victim of identity theft. Thus, having a secure server is necessary for the increase of traffic on your site. There are few people who are willing to put information on sites that are not properly secured. Website Source has completed its purchase of two Cisco ASA 5500 Series Security Appliances. The Cisco ASA 5500 Series adaptive security appliances are designed as a key component of the Cisco self-defending network.

The Cisco ASA 5500 Series provides a proactive approach that stops attacks before they spread through the network, controls activity and application traffic, and delivers more flexible connectivity. In conjunction with the Website Source DDoS Protection Suite, these two new firewall appliances result in one of the most secure networks in the hosting industry. The Cisco ASA 5500 appliances offer four Gigabit Ethernet interface connections which will provide support for the growing network in the Website Source client base. The Cisco ASA 5500 series brings a new, advanced level of integrated security performance and speed to the Website Source network.

S. Rosendahl, CEO of Website Source, Inc. commented "This purchase is a big investment for our company, but we are happy to have completed it, as our network will offer a higher level of advanced security for our hosting customers. As network traffic increases, the Cisco ASA 5500 firewalls will provide our company the scalability for higher security and speed. Our security system will serve as a benchmark for other hosting companies to follow."
