The SAFE Blueprint from Cisco is a flexible, dynamic blueprint for security and VPN networks, based on Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data), that enables businesses to securely and successfully take advantage of e-business and compete in the Internet era. Cisco’s Self-Defending Network Security protects an organization's business processes by identifying, preventing, and adapting to threats from both internal and external sources and helps organizations take better advantage of the intelligence in their network resources, thus improving business processes and cutting costs and enabling enterprises to confidently extend the network to customers, partners, and remote/mobile employees. Cisco security solutions simplify the security environment through tight integration, comprehensive security, increased end-to-end visibility, and improved total cost of ownership.

Solutions Feature-rich security solutions from Cisco integrate with existing network technologies, thus helping enable networks to be self-defending, resilient, adaptable, and self-healing. The Cisco Self-Defending Network consists of five components critical to effective network security.

Secure Network Platform The secure network platform is the strong, secure, flexible base used to build a Self-Defending Network. Capabilities that were traditionally provided only by point solution overlays are now a fundamental feature of the network infrastructure. With integrated security embedded into the very fabric of the network, the secure network suite of products provides a flexible, elegant foundation upon which to easily add advanced security technologies and services.

Threat Control and Containment Cisco’s threat control and containment solution consists of advanced technologies that go beyond simply defending against threats; they proactively and collaboratively control and contain them. This threat control and containment solution protects not only vulnerable endpoints but also multiple points within the network infrastructure.

Confidential Communications Cisco’s confidential communications solution enables organizations to take advantage of the business benefits of data, voice, video, and wireless communications, while ensuring the privacy and integrity of critical business communications. The solution consists of integrated, collaborative, and adaptive network products, technologies, and services that protect communications while cost-effectively extending the reach of the network to a highly mobile workforce.
