Uncompromising Security, Radically Simplified

Powered by Cisco Threat Defense (FTD), the Firepower 1000 Series integrates multiple security functions into a single, cohesive platform. This unified approach eliminates the complexity and security gaps that arise from using multiple point products. From application visibility and control to next-generation intrusion prevention and URL filtering, you gain deep insight and granular control over your entire network.

Management is flexible and intuitive. Manage a single device easily via the on-box Cisco Device Manager, or centrally manage multiple firewalls across your distributed enterprise with the Firepower Management Center (FMC) or the cloud-based Cisco Defense Orchestrator. This ensures consistent policy enforcement and simplified monitoring, no matter the scale of your operations.
