The Cisco Firepower™ Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) is the foundation of the integrated Cisco security architecture. It delivers comprehensive, unified policy management of firewall functions, application control, threat prevention, and advanced malware protection from the network to the endpoint.
Cisco Firepower Benefits: • Leverage your existing investments with Cisco. • Enforce policies with greater security control points. • Safeguard users anywhere they access the internet. • Extend the capabilities of your network appliances for better, more integrated security. • Gain a robust set of product integrations for zero trust.
Cisco offers a range of options to address your business needs: Firepower 1000 Series, 2100 Series, 4100 Series, 7000 Series, 8000 Series, and 9300 Series appliances.
At-a-Glance Industry’s First Fully Integrated, Threat-Focused Next-Generation Firewall Most next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) focus heavily on enabling application control, but little on their threat defense capabilities. To compensate, some NGFW’s will try to supplement their first-generation intrusion prevention with a series of non-integrated add-on products. However, this approach does little to protect your business against the risks posed by sophisticated attackers and advanced malware. Further, once you do get infected, they offer no assistance in scoping the infection, containing it, and remediating quickly.
Protect Your Organization Before, During, and After an Attack The Cisco Firepower NGFW includes the industry’s most widely deployed stateful firewall and provides granular control over more than 4,000 commercial applications. Its single management interface delivers unified visibility from the network to the endpoint. Firepower NGFW enables comprehensive policy management that controls access, stops attacks, defends against malware and provides integrated tools to track, contain and recover from attacks that do get through.
