Overview

Cisco Meraki MX Security Appliances is ideal for organizations with large numbers of distributed sites. Since the MX is 100% cloud managed, installation and remote management is simple. The MX has a comprehensive suite of network services, eliminating the need for multiple appliances. Services include a next-generation firewall, content filtering, web search filtering, SNORT® based intrusion prevention, web caching, WAN optimization, multiple WAN uplinks and 4G failover.

Ease of Management

MX appliances self-provision, 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. Moreover, the MX’s browserbased management dashboard completely eliminates the need for training.

Network Security

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.

Application Layer Visibility

Layer 7 fingerprinting technology lets administrators identify unwanted content and applications and prevent recreational apps like BitTorrent from wasting precious bandwidth.
