Overview
The adaptive security appliance delivers unprecedented levels of defense against threats to the network
with deeper web inspection and flow-specific analysis, improved secure connectivity via end-point
security posture validation, and voice and video over VPN support. It also provides enhanced support
for intelligent information networks through improved network integration, resiliency, and scalability.
The adaptive security appliance software combines firewall, VPN concentrator, and intrusion prevention
software functionality into one software image. Previously, these functions were available in three

software image provides significant improvements in the available features.

software on the adaptive security appliances. ASDM is loaded from the adaptive adaptive security
appliance, then used to configure, monitor, and manage the device.
