Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual
Experience the same security capabilities and threat defense as physical firewalls delivered in a flexible, virtualized form factor for public or private dynamic environments.

Today, organizations rely on a mixture of physical and virtual control points to meet their network security needs. They need the flexibility to deploy different physical and virtual firewalls across a wide range of environments while still maintaining consistent policy across branch offices, corporate datacenters, and all points between. From data center consolidation to office relocations, mergers and acquisitions, as well as seasonal peaks in demand on your applications, Cisco's virtual firewall portfolio helps you simplify security management with the convenience of unified policy and the flexibility to deploy everywhere.

Cisco® Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual (formerly FTDv/NGFWv) combines Cisco's proven network firewall with Snort IPS, URL filtering, and malware defense. It simplifies threat protection with consistent security policies across physical, private, and public cloud environments.
