We use the IDPS as a tool for entry into all of our data centers, be they the large group ones or individual ones in the local markets. We've got an estate of just under a hundred IDPS devices across the business and they're all Cisco Firepower.

The Firepower 1010 was our next evolution past the 5506, while we were originally intrigued by the firepower service we ended up lowering the IOS version back to the ASA software due to the stability and ease of use. Once loaded with the ASA firmware everything was smooth and easy outside of enable proper encrytion as you need to register the firewall with Cisco and have to call them to have licensing added to your account.

These are the main business problems...
1. Implement policies for Internet navigation: restrict sites directly from the firewall, eliminate our proxy
2. Protection against cyber attacks hacking, viruses, and malware.
3. Control of network traffic
4. Protection of confidential information:protect sensitive or confidential information from being accessed by unauthorized users or external threats.

In our company we are using the Cisco Firepower 1120 as Firewall between our locations and connected companies.
To maintain a very high security standard we need to secure any long range connection.
We have a multi-level Firewall-System and use devices from different manufacturers to provide a maximum of security against attacks, not only from external attackers but even if they manage to access our network physically and start an attack from the inside.

I implemented Cisco Firepower 1000 Series firewalls on more than 10 clients all over France. It's used generally for small and medium businesses as an edge firewall for uses like internet surfing, routing, traffic filtering, VPN hub, etc. Generally, it's used by the whole organization if it's well sized for it.

Very good Firewall for small to mid-size offices. We upgraded from ASA to Cisco Firepower 1000 Series. Great support from Cisco made us choose Cisco Firepower 1000 Series. We use it for VPN, IPS, and URL Filtering. Great product for these services. Previously it was buggy now Cisco has improved its security products and slowly becoming the Market leader. Stable and great support are the two words for it.

Cisco Firepower is an excellent solution that works in tandem with our EDR solution. Talos is an industry leading organization that integrates seamlessly with the CF1000 and provides really solid firewall management and administration, reducing the time it takes to upgrade, organize rules, or perform weekly change management duties on our current security infrastructure.

Cisco Firepower 1000 Series is a true next-generation firewall designed for more visibility, more control, and protection of layer 7 attacks on your organization. This is one of the best firewalls providing all the advanced features like advanced malware protection, URL filtering, advanced IPS, threat prevention, etc. I have been managing the Cisco Firepower 1000 Series for the last 2 years. It gives me more visibility of my network and more control on layers 3 and 4. It also allows me to control the incoming and outgoing network traffic of my organizations.

[Cisco Firepower 1000 Series is] specially designed for layer 7 security. It provides all advanced features like advanced malware protection, advanced Intrusion Prevention Systems, URL filtering, etc. We can control users' incoming and outgoing traffic and we will get more visibility of traffic. We are using this series firewall on one of my sites and it is fully secure and protected from any cyber-attacks. We are very happy with all the features and Cisco support.

Quick deployment for Covid testing sites to VPN back to hospitals. This creates a VPN and split tunnels for hospital wifi and local guest network to allow a patient to stay connected as well as clinicians.

Cisco Firepower 1000 Series is a next-generation firewall series designed to protect your organization from external threats and cyber-attacks. Cisco Firepower is mainly focused on Layer 3 and 4 security control and Layer 7 application visibility and security, to control advanced threats and cyber attacks. I am handling the Cisco Firepower Series for one of my clients. It provides a bundle of security features to prevent any type of cyber-attack.

It has been used by our organization as a network edge security platform. It also has the purpose of offering protection and visibility of layer 7 traffic. We have rules and acls in place to provide greater protection for the internal network and to prevent attacks by external attackers. In total there are two Firepower 1150 appliances and the second is to have a redundancy only where it is on standby. Along with the appliances, malware protection licenses and url filters were purchased.

We use the Cisco firepower 1000 for routing, firewall functions, and security intelligence features. We replaced our older ASAs which had been failing with these. They offer better throughput and more security than the old ASAs. We provide website hosting and remote access for clients. Utilizing 2 incoming lines for dedicated fiber line with SLA and standard coble line for browsing. The Cisco with all the additional port offerings allows us to configure everything we need.

We user the Cisco Firepower 1120 in a variety of use cases across our division. We typically use it in a high-availability configuration, both in the same room together and separated via some distance. The Cisco Firepower 1000 Series has been a nice upgrade from our previous models of Cisco Firewalls.

We have a few remote sites that connect via a metro-E link that needed a way back to the network via a more secure route than we were using before. Using the Cisco Firepower 1120 and 1140 we were able to successfully get those sites back onto the network over a VPN link with a much better/safer protocol and connection type.

Purchased [Cisco] Firepower [1000 Series] appliances to replace legacy ASA 5500X series with [Cisco] Firepower modules. Used for AnyConnect employee RAS, IPSEC site to site VPNs and local internet access breakout from sites. Firepowers allowed us to scale from ~100 remote users a day to almost 1500 in response to COVID work from home restrictions.
