To address these challenges, today we unveil the Cisco Firepower 4100 Series Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), the industry’s first fully integrated, threat-focused Next-Generation Firewall.Ĭisco Firepower NGFW is built from the ground up to keep organizations safer. This “ franken-structure” approach to security, with disparate technology silos tied to a multitude of different consoles places undue pressure on budgets, propagates complexity, and ultimately leaves organizations vulnerable to attacks. Additionally, they are forced to deploy dedicated threat platforms or to take telemetry from the legacy NGFWs and push it into other systems for contextualization and non-real time analysis. Operators are thus unable to realize the promise of platform consolidation and complexity reduction with legacy NGFWs. As such, these legacy NGFWs are unable to provide an enterprise with the contextual information, automation, and prioritization that they need to handle today’s modern threats. IT teams have been asked to manage security using a patchwork of siloed point products, starting with legacy next-generation firewalls (NGFW), which were created with a focus on application and bolted on best effort threat protection.

In order for enterprises to operate effectively in today’s environment, they have to focus their security efforts on stopping advanced threats in the current dynamic threat landscape. Yet, the more connected we become, the more opportunities we create for cybercriminals. Today’s world is undergoing digital disruption that will spark more connectivity than ever before, as consumers, businesses and governments leverage digitization to drive innovation forward.
