Network Security Firewalls: Cisco® ASA with FirePOWER™

Today’s workplace has changed — workers are mobile and working from home, want around-the-clock access to networks from various devices used in different locations, both local and abroad. This evolution has changed the way businesses need to think about and administer network security firewalls and the security they provide.

Start with Cisco’s Overview of a Secure Firewall.

Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services is the industry’s first adaptive, threat-focused next-generation firewall (NGFW) designed for a new era of threat and advanced malware protection. It delivers an integrated threat defense across the entire attack continuum — before, during, and after an attack.

To reimagine the firewall as your foundation for comprehensive security, check out Cisco’s Top 5 Tips for Enterprises Choosing a Firewall.
