Platform Support
Cisco Firepower 4100 Series and Firepower 9300 NGFW appliances use the Cisco Firepower Threat Defense software image. Alternatively, these appliances can support the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) software image. The Cisco Firepower Management Center (formerly FireSIGHT) provides unified management of the Cisco Firepower NGFW, as well as Cisco Firepower NGIPS and Cisco AMP. Also available, on select Cisco Firepower appliances, and direct from Cisco, is the Radware DefensePro distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation capability.
Cisco Firepower 4100 Series Appliances
The Cisco Firepower 4100 Series is a family of four threat-focused NGFW security platforms. Their maximum throughput ranges from 20 to more than 60 Gbps, addressing use cases from the Internet edge to the data center. They deliver superior threat defense, at faster speeds, with a smaller footprint.
Cisco Firepower 9300 Appliance
The Cisco Firepower 9300 is a scalable (beyond 1Tbps), carrier-grade, modular platform designed for service providers, high-performance computing centers, data centers, campuses, high-frequency trading environments, and more that require low (less than 5-microsecond offload) latency and exceptional throughput. Cisco Firepower 9300 supports flow-offloading, programmatic orchestration, and management of security services with RESTful APIs. It is also available in 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 maximum 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.
