SBTG
Small Business Technology Group

2. Small Business VPN Routers

3. What is Routing?
The moving of information across an internetwork from source to destination
An internetwork is a connection between networks via routers
A router is a device that performs the forwarding and routing of information
See it as a central post office that receives packets from many locations and then determines the routes, various delivery stations included, in order for the packets to be delivered at their final destination

4. Routers: Various Sizes for Various Needs
Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System
Multishelf Configuration
Up to 322 Tbps
Up to 213 x 59 x 91 cm. 740 kg (using all card slots and power shelves)
Cisco RV120W Small Business Router
Integrated Wireless AP
IPSec VPN
15 x 3.4 x 15 cm, 0.5 kg

5. What does a router do in your LAN?
Connects your local area network (the group of PCs in your home or business) to the Internet.
Processes and regulates the data that travels between these two networks.
Its Network Address Translation (NAT) technology protects your network so users on the Internet cannot “see” your PCs. This is how your LAN remains private.
Protects your network by inspecting the first packet coming in through the Internet port before delivery to the final destination on one of the LAN Ethernet ports.
Inspects Internet port services like Web server, FTP server, or other Internet applications and, if allowed, forwards the packet to the appropriate PC or Server on the LAN side.

9. VPN: Secure Communication
A Virtual Private Network carries private traffic over the public Internet
A secure communications “tunnel”
Tunnel is authenticated on both ends
Data is encrypted over the tunnel and decrypted on the receiving end
Connects the corporate office securely to remote/home users or branch offices
Created over a broadband Internet connection
Internet

10. VPN: Advantages Leverage and expansion is inexpensive
Expansion to geographies is simple
Adding remote workforce requires a simple installation
A single high-speed connection is required to connect to the office’s resources
, CRM, Collaboration tools
Scalable connection
Multiple tunnels available simultaneously
Keeps customer’s business secure and productive

11. IPSec VPN: Two ways to create a Connection (1)
Site-to-Site VPN (IPSec)
VPN Router to VPN Router
Connects two or more locations together
The secure tunnel connection is always available
Internet
Corporate Office
Branch Office

12. IPSec VPN: Two ways to create a Connection (2)
2. PC to VPN router
Using VPN client software that supports IPSec
Client-to-Gateway connect mobile users to the corporate office
The secure tunnel connection is established as needed
Internet
Remote workers – at home or traveling
Corporate Office

13. VPN: Why is it secure? Answer: Encryption What Is Encryption?
A method of protecting the confidentiality of data
Data is scrambled when transmitted (encrypted) and put back into order (decrypted) on the receiving end
Uses keys known only to parties involved, to encrypt and decrypt the data
Malicious users that get the data cant decipher it
Secret Key

14. SSL VPN: What is it? SSL – Secure Sockets Layer Benefits
A standard Internet Protocol for transmitting information via the Internet
Provides endpoint authentication and communication privacy using public key infrastructure (PKI)
It is the same technology that is used by secure websites
SSL is used to established a secure connection to the Cisco VPN Router for Authentication
Once authenticated, a virtual PPP session is created through the SSL session
Benefits
VPN established through Web Browser  no client software
Operates transparently through firewalls
Mobility – Access from any computer with an Internet Connection
Secure Solution for granting partners, customers, contractors or telecommuters access to company applications, without opening up the entire network

15. Firewall: SPI: Stateful Packet Inspection
A Firewall that keeps track of the state of the connection/stream
Streams are logged based on IP Address and TCP/UDP port only
Decisions (to block/allow a packet) are made on the information and state of the connection
Processing time decreases over time, thereby increasing throughput speeds
Adequate to prevent hackers and other brute force attacks
Supported by all Cisco Small Business Routers
Cisco RV120W
Cisco RV220W
Cisco WRVS4400N

16. Firewall: SPI and IPS Malware
Cisco VPN Router
SPI
IPS
Valid IP Packet
Invalid IP Packet
Valid IP Packet
Malware
SPI: Firewall first classifies the packet header (IP addresses and ports) based on a built database
If packet is of a known/valid connectionn – passed for further processing
IPS – packet is analyzed based on known attack patterns (signatures)
Outcome:
If the packet is deemed safe – passes on to the local network.
Otherwise - blocked

44. SMBs need more security All-in-One (UTM) Security Gateways Trends
Another interesting research finding is based on analysis conducted by IDC in November of They have seen and continue to predict that UTM (Unified Threat Management) security devices, also known as all-in-one security appliances, will continue to increase in share while more basic router based solutions decrease in share. The key driver of this change is the difference in security capabilities between these devices… routers typically have some basic firewall and VPN functionality. With the increasing types of threats in the internet today, those capabilities alone are not sufficient. and Web are key vectors for threats and All-in-one security appliances are required to properly secure a small business. The shift in sales to UTMs or All-in-ones is a validation that small businesses are increasingly moving in this direction.
The opportunity for partners is to move customers off of traditional SOHO class routers with limited security to a more full featured all-in-one security appliance.
Firewall Alone Is Not Enough: The primary vector for threats to small businesses are and Web. All-in-one class devices are required to protect the small business.
Unified Threat Management (UTM) is a fast growing market: opportunity for Partners to target customers that have SOHO class routers or similar security devices that only provide basic firewall functionality.
