Data Sheet
Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)
Prevent breaches, get deep visibility to detect and stop threats fast, and automate
your network and security operations to save time and work smarter.
Prevent breaches Need to prevent breaches automatically to keep your business moving forward?
Talos, our team of 250+ threat researchers, analyze millions of threats daily and
create security protections that the Cisco NGFW uses to protect you against the next
big breach. WannaCry? NotPetya? VPNFilter? Talos stopped these mega-breaches
(and others) before they hit, and Cisco firewall customers were automatically
protected. Not a bad track record.
See more to detect
and stop threats fast
Worried that your firewall isn’t showing you the full picture? Cisco NGFWs go beyond
prevention and access control to give you deep visibility to see and stop threats fast.
Use built-in advanced security features like next-generation IPS, advanced malware
protection, and sandboxing to see across users, hosts, networks and infrastructure.
They continuously monitor for suspicious activity and automatically stop it the instant
it is seen. Our advanced security capabilities help you see more so you can stop
more.
Automate to save time
and work smart
Are your products working you instead of working for you? Cisco NGFW automates
your networking and security operations to save you time and reduce complexity so
you can focus on high priority tasks. Threat alerts are prioritized so you can stop
playing whack-a-mole and focus on what matters most. Cisco NGFWs work together
with the rest of Cisco’s integrated security tools to give you visibility across multiple
attack vectors, from edge to endpoint. When this system of tools sees a threat in one
place, it will automatically be blocked everywhere.

Management Options
Cisco Firepower NGFWs may be managed in a variety of ways depending on the way you work, your environment,
and your needs.
The Cisco Firepower Management Center (formerly FireSIGHT) provides centralized management of the Cisco
Firepower NGFW, the Cisco Firepower NGIPS, and Cisco AMP for Networks. It also provides threat correlation for
network sensors and Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints.
The Cisco Firepower Device Manager is available for local management of 2100 Series and select 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 2100

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
range addresses use cases from the Internet edge to the data center. Network Equipment Building Standards
(NEBS)- compliance is supported by the Cisco Firepower 2100 Series platform.
Cisco Firepower 4100 Series Appliances
The Cisco Firepower 4100 Series is a family of four threat-focused NGFW security platforms. Their throughput
range addresses data center and internet edge use cases. They deliver superior threat defense, at faster speeds,
with a smaller footprint. Cisco Firepower 4100 Series supports flow-offloading, programmatic orchestration, and the
management of security services with RESTful APIs. Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS)-compliance
is supported by the Cisco Firepower 4120 platform.
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.

range addresses use cases from the small or branch office to the Internet edge. They deliver superior threat
defense in a cost-effective footprint.
Cisco Firepower NGFW Virtual (NGFWv) Appliances
Cisco Firepower NGFWv is available on VMware, KVM, and the Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft
Azure environments for virtual, public, private, and hybrid cloud environments. Organizations employing SDN can
rapidly provision and orchestrate flexible network protection with Firepower NGFWv. As well, organizations using
NFV can further lower costs utilizing Firepower NGFWv.

Performance Testing Methodologies
Cisco uses a variety of testing methodologies in a lab environment to ensure the performance specifications we
report are as close to real world as possible. Firewall performance is affected by many factors including network
environment, packet sizes, packet type, TLS encryption, and more.
Two modes of firewall testing exist: static or real world. Static testing leverages performance and security testing
tools in a simulated environment. Real-world testing uses samples of live traffic on a production or side-car
network. While static testing does not completely mimic performance in a real-world networking environment, we
review and modify the static methodology to ensure the results are as close to real-world as possible.
The following are test methodologies used for measurements listed in Table 1. Change in performance vs change
in packet size is not linear, so extrapolation from a single test is not possible for the almost unlimited variety of
network environments. Testing security efficacy or security service performance under loaded conditions adds
even more complexity. For these reasons we rely on the 1024B HTTP Test.
1024B HTTP Test (256KB Object)
This number is to compare with other vendors at a 256KB object size. It uses a larger and commonly tested packet
size for every simulated session. With the protocol overhead, the average frame size is around 1024 bytes. This
represents typical production conditions for most firewall deployments.
1500B UDP vs 64B UDP
This test uses a transactional UDP profile with either 1500B or 64B frames. Due to the stateless nature of UDP, it
creates very little impact on a stateful NGFW. Many vendors use this profile to measure maximum firewall
performance, however it is only practical as a comparison point. This test does not represent real-world conditions,
therefore Cisco only uses it as a legacy metric for ASA performance. For NGFW products, various UDP packet
size should only be used to test latency and not overall performance.
Performance Specifications and Feature Highlights
Table 1 summarizes the capabilities of the Cisco Firepower NGFWv, Firepower 2100 Series, and 4100 Series and
9300 appliances as well as the Cisco ASA 5500-FTD-X appliances when running the Cisco Firepower Threat
Defense image. All numbers are derived with two-way traffic evaluation to replicate the best security posture.

Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies
Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies provide a highly secure foundation for certain Cisco products. They enable
hardware and software authenticity assurance for supply chain trust and strong mitigation against a man-in-the-
middle compromise of software and firmware.
Trust Anchor capabilities include:
● Image signing: Cryptographically signed images provide assurance that the firmware, BIOS, and other
software are authentic and unmodified. As the system boots, the system’s software signatures are checked
for integrity.
● Secure Boot: Secure Boot anchors the boot sequence chain of trust to immutable hardware, mitigating
threats against a system’s foundational state and the software that is to be loaded, regardless of a user’s
privilege level. It provides layered protection against the persistence of illicitly modified firmware.

● Trust Anchor module: A tamper-resistant, strong-cryptographic, single-chip solution provides hardware
authenticity assurance to uniquely identify the product so that its origin can be confirmed to Cisco, providing
assurance that the product is genuine.
