According to a recent PwC study, security compromises at midsize organizations increased 64% in 2014. They face the same challenges as enterprises when it comes to securing their network and data, but often rely on legacy and outdated security platforms that fail to provide protection before, during and after an attack. Attackers are finding distributed sites and industrialized locations to be attractive targets because they are often viewed as easier entry points to access sensitive information and data either at the remote location or on the corporate network.

Enterprise-Level Threat Protection

Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services delivers the industry’s first threat-focused NGFW by combining stateful firewall, application visibility and control (AVC), advanced malware protection (AMP), and next-generation intrusion prevention capabilities (NGIPS) into a single device, delivering integrated, continuous threat protection that can be pervasively applied across a broad range of enterprise sizes and locations as well as into industrial locations.

Cisco AMP detects and controls advanced and zero-day attacks, advanced persistent threats and targeted attacks. Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services offers a multi-layered threat protection solution, closing blind spots common with disparate point solutions and combining pervasive visibility with many unique detection techniques, including continuous analysis, big data analytic and Cisco threat intelligence.

Lower Total Cost of Operation

Many midsize companies and midmarket organizations still rely on a patchwork approach to security, resulting in security investments being far from maximized. Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services radically changes that by tightly integrating multiple threat protection technologies, and at the same time lowering the total cost of ownership. Automated tuning and correlation capabilities prioritize events and reduce false-positive alerts, reducing IT staff demands — especially in environments where these models are deployed as pervasive threat sensors across the network. Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services also flags previously unknown malware, significantly reducing time to detection and time to resolution from weeks to hours.

Simplified Security Management

Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services delivers flexibility with standard, unified on-box management for single-instance deployments, which combines control over access policies and advanced threat protection functions. The user interface provides quick views on trends and the ability to drill-down for details. Optional centralized management maximizes threat visibility, contextual information, and analytics across the distributed enterprise.

Managed Security and Migration Services

Cisco Managed Services for Security can supplement customers’ internal protection efforts with full-time, proactive, systematic threat monitoring and management. For customers migrating from existing legacy firewalls or in need of deployment assistance, Cisco offers migration services that help distributed enterprises and organizations with remote and branch offices accelerate the deployment of Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services. Cisco, along with its partners, provides the expertise, creating deployment plans, and testing and implementing the solution to maximize cybersecurity threat defense and performance.
