Cisco Firepower NGFW Virtual (NGFWv) Appliance

The Cisco NGFWv portfolio enables you to protect your workloads from an increasingly complex set of threats while delivering consistent security policies, visibility, and improved threat response. From your data center, branch offices, cloud environments, and everywhere in between, leveraging the power of Cisco turns your existing network infrastructure into an extension of your firewall solution, leading to adaptive security everywhere you need it. Our world-class NGFW sets the foundation for consistent visibility, policy harmonization, and unified management. Cisco Threat Response automates integrations across the entire Cisco security portfolio so you can rapidly detect, investigate, and remediate threats.

The physical and virtual Cisco Firepower NGFW appliances offer the same threat protection features, resulting in consistent security effectiveness and visibility across physical and virtual workloads.

The Cisco NGFWv License is available on VMware, KVM, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure environments for virtual, public, private, and hybrid cloud deployments. Organizations employing a software-defined network can rapidly provision and orchestrate flexible network protection with Cisco Firepower NGFWv. As well, organizations using network function virtualization can further lower costs by avoiding upfront network infrastructure costs when utilizing Cisco Firepower NGFWv.
