Cisco Secure Firewall

We use the product for Geosegmentation for countries like China, Brazil, etc. We use basic prefilter policies and snort, currently we are considering integrating automation a bit more. We use ftds in addition to palo alto devices, so interoperability and integration is quite important for us. So far, the solution works for us with no major issues.

In my experience, Cisco Secure Firewall's advanced security features have had a significant positive impact on our business by providing robust protection against a wide range of threats without compromising network performance, like IPS, app control and SSL decryption. These features are important for our workloads, security posture, and general data protection.

Mostly working with logs via Splunk, it's a well designed feature, able to drill down and see various categorizations. It helps identify blocked traffic, anomalous behaviors and helps remediate those and possibly quarantine the offending users. VPN is quite easy to set up and manage, and every new FTD version brings useful features to it.
