Cisco’s next-generation firewall (NGFW) offers the industry’s first adaptive, threat-focused firewall solution, Cisco® ASA with FirePOWER™ Services. It offers exceptional sustained performance when advanced threat functions are enabled. It delivers superior, multilayered protection improves visibility, and reduces security costs. Achieve integrated threat defense across the entire attack continuum with the proven Cisco ASA firewall combined with the industry’s most effective next-generation IPS and advanced malware protection.
As the security landscape remains ever-evolving, the opportunities for cybercriminals to attack continues to grow. These threats leave cybersecurity to remain top of mind for organisations of all sizes and around the world. With an ever-changing playing field, it can be difficult to stay ahead of these threats, but luckily Cisco are three steps ahead!
Most NGFWs provide access control over users and applications to reduce the risk of threats, but are unable to eliminate these threats completely. Hackers can find a way around these methods through exploiting open web connections and applications that have been approved. For a superior protection, a NGFW needs to provide a deep visibility into and across the network, apply intelligent automation to identify threats, adapt protections to a dynamic network environment, and quickly scope and recover from attacks to minimise damage.
Cisco delivers this next-level security with the industry’s first, and only, threat-centric, next-generation firewall – ASA with FirePOWER Services.
