Cisco Firepower 1200 Series
In today's distributed world, securing your branch offices and smaller sites is more critical than ever. You need enterprise-grade security that doesn’t create a bottleneck or compromise the user experience. The challenge is finding a solution that delivers powerful threat defense without the complexity and cost of a large-scale enterprise appliance.
Enter the Cisco Firepower 1200 Series. This family of security appliances is specifically engineered to extend consistent security policy and advanced threat inspection to the farthest corners of your network. Powered by an efficient, high-performance network processor, the Firepower 1200 Series ensures your remote teams stay protected and productive, delivering robust security without slowing your business down.
The Cisco Secure Firewall 1200 Series is not just another firewall; it's a strategic security asset designed for the way we work now. Whether you're running a chain of retail stores, a network of bank branches, or remote clinics, these appliances provide a seamless and secure connection back to your core resources. They offer the flexibility of running either Cisco's legendary Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) software or the next-generation Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) platform, allowing you to tailor the security posture to your exact needs.
From the compact, desktop-friendly 1210 models perfect for small offices (with PoE+ options to power devices like phones and cameras) to the rack-mountable 1250 model capable of 24 Gbps firewall throughput for larger branches, there's a Firepower 1200 appliance for every scenario. This scalability ensures that as your business grows, your security can grow with it, all managed from a single, centralized console.

Q: What is the difference between running ASA and FTD software on the firewall?
A: ASA (Adaptive Security Appliance) is Cisco's proven, stateful firewall software, known for its rock-solid stability and performance.
