Overview

This demonstration includes scripted scenarios demonstrating the powerful capabilities of the Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) and Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv). It includes transparent filtering of HTTP and HTTPS for LAN and Remote Access clients using the Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP). The Cisco WSA family is a web proxy that works with other Cisco network components such as firewalls, routers, or switches in order to monitor and control web content requests from within the organization. It also scrubs the return traffic for malicious content.
