Next Generation Firewalls

Cisco Secure Firewall Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) is Cisco’s Next Generation Firewall (NGFW). A NGFW is a security device that provides additional capabilities beyond a traditional firewall, giving the security teams deep visiblity into telementry and potentially malicious file activity across users, hosts and networks. Cisco FTD defends against the latest and most sophisticated threats, using Cisco’s TALOS research organisation to find new malware domains, URLS and undisclosed vulnerabilties and writing rules to migitate them.

  • Stateful firewalling
  • Application Visibility and Control
