Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense Virtual - Base License - MSLA-FTDV30-BSEK9

Product Description

Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense Virtual - Base License - Cisco Managed Service License Agreement (MSLA)

The Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense Virtual (FTDv) Base License - MSLA-FTDV30-BSEK9 is a comprehensive security solution designed to protect virtualized environments, providing robust threat defense capabilities for applications, users, and data across virtual networks. This base license serves as the foundation for Cisco’s advanced threat protection technologies, including intrusion prevention, URL filtering, malware defense, and application visibility and control.

As part of the FirePOWER Threat Defense platform, this license enables organizations to deploy advanced security capabilities in virtual environments, ensuring real-time protection against both known and unknown threats without compromising the performance of virtual workloads.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Threat Protection: The Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense Virtual (FTDv) provides advanced protection through multiple layers, including intrusion prevention, malware defense, advanced malware protection (AMP), and URL filtering. This defense helps mitigate risks posed by malicious traffic, advanced persistent threats, and vulnerabilities across virtual environments.

• Base License Features: This base license unlocks core features of Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense Virtual, which include intrusion prevention systems (IPS), network-based malware protection, and application visibility and control. It acts as the entry-level license required to enable these security capabilities within your virtualized infrastructure.

• Advanced Threat Detection: By combining traditional signature-based defenses with advanced threat detection capabilities like Cisco AMP (Advanced Malware Protection), this solution provides a robust defense against both known and unknown threats. It uses dynamic analysis and continuous monitoring to identify and mitigate emerging security risks.

• Virtualized Environment Protection: Cisco FirePOWER is designed to offer protection in virtual environments, such as virtual machines (VMs), private and public cloud infrastructure, and containerized applications, without introducing significant overhead or affecting performance.

• Network Traffic Visibility & Control: FirePOWER Threat Defense provides detailed application visibility and control, enabling security teams to monitor and manage network traffic at a granular level. The solution identifies application-level traffic, prioritizes traffic based on policy, and blocks malicious traffic before it can do damage.

• URL Filtering: This feature provides real-time URL filtering, enabling you to block access to malicious or inappropriate websites and reduce the likelihood of employees or users being exposed to phishing or malicious sites.

• Integrated Security Management: The Cisco FirePOWER management platform integrates with Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC), providing a centralized location for managing and analyzing security events across your virtualized network infrastructure. It allows for simplified policy configuration and streamlined incident response.

• Scalable Security Solution: The virtual deployment options of Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense Virtual allow for scalability. You can easily expand your virtualized security infrastructure as your business grows, adding more virtual appliances or capacity when necessary.

• High Availability and Performance: Designed for virtual environments, the solution ensures high availability and optimized performance in handling large volumes of network traffic without significant latency or resource consumption.

• Real-Time Threat Intelligence: The integration of Cisco Threat Intelligence allows for rapid identification of emerging threats and vulnerabilities. This real-time intelligence helps security teams stay ahead of attacks and reduce the window of exposure to potential security breaches.

 Benefits:

• Comprehensive Virtualized Security: This base license delivers comprehensive protection for virtualized workloads, offering defense against malware, exploits, and other cyberattacks in real time.

• Seamless Integration with Cisco Ecosystem: Cisco FirePOWER integrates seamlessly with the broader Cisco security ecosystem, including Cisco SecureX, Cisco Umbrella, and other Cisco solutions, providing a unified approach to security across your entire infrastructure.

• Reduced Risk: By detecting and blocking threats before they reach critical virtualized applications, the FirePOWER Threat Defense solution minimizes the risk of data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other malicious activities.

• Optimized Performance: Cisco FirePOWER ensures that your virtualized workloads are protected while maintaining high performance, preventing security measures from slowing down network throughput or user productivity.

• Simplified Deployment & Management: With centralized management via Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC), deployment and ongoing management of security policies are simplified, ensuring that security measures are consistently applied across all virtual environments.

• Scalable Licensing: As your virtual infrastructure grows, additional licenses and security modules can be added, enabling you to scale your security posture without overhauling the entire system.
