Cisco Firepower security appliances

Firepower is Cisco's current next-generation firewall line, covering perimeter defense and data center segmentation with application-aware inspection rather than simple port-and-protocol filtering. (The older ASA hardware line is being retired in favor of Firepower, so new deployments go on this platform.)

A firewall sized wrong is either a bottleneck or a wasted budget line — we size Firepower against your actual throughput and inspection needs, not a round number. Centralized policy management keeps multiple appliances consistent if you're protecting more than one site.

• Application-aware inspection, not just port and protocol filtering
• Integrated intrusion prevention and malware defense
• Centralized policy management across multiple appliances

Best for: Businesses needing a managed perimeter firewall, not a consumer router.
