Models for branch offices, industrial applications, and the Internet edge
Cisco Firepower 2100 Series:
The industry’s first 1RU NGFWs delivering sustainable performance when threat inspection is enabled
Platform Support
The Cisco Firepower NGFW includes Application Visibility and Control (AVC), optional next-gen IPS (NGIPS),
Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Networks, and URL Filtering. The Cisco Firepower 2100 Series,
4100 Series, and 9300 appliances use the Cisco Firepower Threat Defense software image. Alternatively, the
Cisco Firepower 4100 Series and 9300 appliances can support the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA)
software image.
The Cisco Firepower Management Center (formerly FireSIGHT) provides centralized management of the Cisco
Firepower NGFW, as well as Cisco Firepower NGIPS and Cisco AMP for Networks.
The Cisco Firepower Device Manager is available for local management of 2100 Series and 5500-X Series devices
running the Cisco Firepower Threat Defense software image.
The Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager is available for local management of the Cisco Firepower 4100
Series, Cisco Firepower 9300 Series, and Cisco ASA 5500-X Series devices running the ASA software image.
Cisco Defense Orchestrator cloud-based management is also available for consistent policy management across
Cisco security devices.
Also available, on select Cisco Firepower appliances, and direct from Cisco, is the Radware Virtual DefensePro
(vDP) distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation capability.
The Cisco Firepower 2100 Series is a family of four threat-focused NGFW security platforms that deliver business
resiliency through superior threat defense. It offers exceptional sustained performance when advanced threat
functions are enabled. These platforms uniquely incorporate an innovative dual multicore CPU architecture that
optimizes firewall, cryptographic, and threat inspection functions simultaneously. The series’ firewall throughput
ranges from 1.9 to 8.5 Gbps, addressing use cases from the Internet edge to the data center.
Cisco Firepower 4100 Series Appliances
The Cisco Firepower 4100 Series is a family of four threat-focused NGFW security platforms. Their throughput
ranges from 35 to 75 Gbps, addressing data center use cases. They deliver superior threat defense, at faster
speeds, with a smaller footprint.
Cisco Firepower 9300 Security Appliance
The Cisco Firepower 9300 is a scalable (beyond 1 Tbps when clustered), carrier-grade, modular platform designed
for service providers, high-performance computing centers, large data centers, campuses, high-frequency trading
environments, and other environments that require low (less than 5-microsecond offload) latency and exceptional
throughput. Cisco Firepower 9300 supports flow-offloading, programmatic orchestration, and the management of
security services with RESTful APIs. It is also available in Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS)compliant configurations.
Cisco ASA 5500-FTD-X Series Appliances
The Cisco ASA 5500-FTD-X Series is a family of eight threat-focused NGFW security platforms. Their throughput
ranges from 750 Mbps to 4 Gbps, addressing use cases from the small or branch office to the Internet edge. They
deliver superior threat defense in a cost-effective footprint.

Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies
Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies provide a highly secure foundation for certain Cisco products. They enable
hardware and software authenticity assurance for supply chain trust and strong mitigation against a man-in-themiddle compromise of software and firmware.
Image signing: Cryptographically signed images provide assurance that the firmware, BIOS, and other
software are authentic and unmodified. As the system boots, the system’s software signatures are checked
for integrity.
●
Secure Boot: Secure Boot anchors the boot sequence chain of trust to immutable hardware, mitigating
threats against a system’s foundational state and the software that is to be loaded, regardless of a user’s
privilege level. It provides layered protection against the persistence of illicitly modified firmware.
●
Trust Anchor module: A tamper-resistant, strong-cryptographic, single-chip solution provides hardware
authenticity assurance to uniquely identify the product so that its origin can be confirmed to Cisco, providing
assurance that the product is genuine.
Radware Virtual DefensePro DDoS Mitigation
Radware Virtual DefensePro (vDP) DDoS mitigation is available and supported directly from Cisco on the Cisco
Firepower 4120, 4140, 4150, and 9300 with the ASA software image or with the Cisco Firepower Threat Defense
software image. Radware’s DefensePro DDoS mitigation capability is an award-winning, real-time, perimeter attack
mitigation solution that protects organizations against emerging network and application threats. It protects the
application infrastructure against network and application downtime (or slow time), helping organizations win the
ongoing security battle against availability attacks.
Radware DDoS Mitigation: Protection Set
Radware DDoS mitigation consists of patent-protected, adaptive, behavioral-based real-time signature technology
that detects and mitigates zero-day network and application DDoS attacks in real time. It eliminates the need for
human intervention and does not block legitimate user traffic when under attack.
The following attacks are detected and mitigated:
●
SYN flood attacks
●
Network DDoS attacks, including IP floods, ICMP floods, TCP floods, UDP floods, and IGMP floods
●
Application DDoS attacks, including HTTP floods and DNS query floods
●
Anomalous flood attacks, such as nonstandard and malformed packet attacks
