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.

Cisco Firepower 2100 Series Appliances

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.
