Cisco Unveils Industry's First Threat-Focused Next-Generation Firewall - Seite 2

Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services provides superior visibility and continuous analysis to detect advanced, multi-vector threats and streamlines and automates response for both known and unknown malware. It also offers holistic, actionable IoCs that speed threat investigation and retrospective remediation, along with integrated incident response scoping and automated detection policy updates.

All of these innovations are supported by an enterprise-class stateful firewall, VPN, advanced clustering and granular application-layer and risk-based controls that evoke tailored NGIPS threat detection policies to optimize security effectiveness. Open source security integration with Snort, OpenAppID and ClamAV further allows customers to easily customize security to address new or specific threats and applications as quickly as possible.

Customers can gain the benefits of the solutions in two ways:

• Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services (customers can purchase ASA 5500-X Series and ASA 5585-X Series firewall products with a bundled FirePOWER Services license)
• FirePOWER Services for Cisco ASA (customers can enable FirePOWER Services on existing ASA 5500-X Series and ASA 5585-X Series firewall products)

Cisco, with its partners, also provides professional and technical security services to help accelerate migration from customers' current security environments to the integrated threat defense of Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services. With deep expertise, proven processes and tools, and global resource availability, Cisco's security services help organizations migrate quickly and with minimal disruption.
