What's new for Cisco Secure Firewall

3x better price-performance*

Introducing a new family of advanced firewalls that extends Cisco's Hybrid Mesh Firewall to distributed branches.

Introducing Mesh Policy Engine

Cisco Security Cloud Control now delivers intelligent, intent-based policy that adapts, optimizes, and drives policies across Cisco and third-party firewalls.

Hybrid work, uninterrupted

Experience seamless connectivity as users switch networks from branch to home—using hybrid private access.

*Performance gain is based on the throughput of competitive firewalls for similar use cases.

Superior threat visibility and control

Strengthen your security posture with cutting-edge innovations that uncover hidden threats, protect against zero-day attacks, and optimize traffic—all powered by Cisco's global Talos Threat Intelligence.

Powered by Talos Threat Intelligence

Talos analyzes 900 billion security events every day using machine-learning engines and distills them into threat protection services for Secure Firewall to defend against advanced attacks.

Zero-day protection with SnortML

Talos discloses and protects against more than 200 zero-day vulnerabilities every year. Training on this data, the SnortML detection engine automatically blocks patterns associated with zero-day attacks.

See threats in encrypted traffic

Our unique Encrypted Visibility Engine (EVE) blocks threats in encrypted traffic without decrypting, leveraging global Talos data from 193 countries and regions.
