Cisco ASA to Firepower Transition to Next-Gen Hardware: Optimum Security with Maximum Flexibility
Event Overview
Cisco continues to advance their security portfolio, providing high performance Next-Generation Firewalls with flexible deployment options. Along with the innovation in hardware, Cisco offers options for software that include Next-Generation Firewall capabilities via Firepower Threat Defense, and continued support and development for ASA code. Join Cisco and WWT to learn more about the capabilities of the new hardware, features included in Firepower Threat Defense, as well as migration options and best practices for DoD environments.
What to expect
Learn more about concerns that arise within US military networks and how the new hardware options offered by the Next-Generation Firepower appliances provide flexibility to operate ASA or Cisco Secure Firewall (Firepower) code.
- Migration challenges specific to DoD environment and classified enclaves
- Differences and additional benefits and synergies that come along with migrating
- "Future Proofing" with Cisco Secure Firewall hardware running ASA Code
- Firepower FTD and how to manage it via FMC
- ASA to Cisco Secure Firewall Migration Tool / Workshop
Goals and Objectives
Discuss the transition of ASA code to Firepower hardware platform and that the ASA code has a Cisco commitment to continue support and development. The coming requirements for next-gen firewalls will be met by the Cisco Firepower Threat Defense platform, but customers continue to utilize their current ASA configurations natively on Firepower by operating ASA code on Firepower appliances. WWT provides a no-cost workshop that walks an experienced U.S. DoD admin or engineer through the ASA to Firepower migration process and also showcases the management console, to discuss ease of management, visibility of real-time security posture, as well as potential automation options.
Who should attend?
Technical audience, engineers, administrators, firewall admins/engineers, leadership (to be aware of concerns and roadmap)
