We are looking for details on how to confirm if a Cisco ASA55**-X firewall can be considered a FPWR model (EG: ASA5515-FPWR-K9 or ASA5555-FPWR-K9). Cisco's documentation is not terribly clear about the specific details they should have. &nbsp;Is there anything in particular we should be looking for in the console? &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
We have several ASA5555/ASA5515 with the following response from the ‘show version’ command. &nbsp;Is this enough, or are there other factors we need to take into account?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
ciscoasa# show version<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 9.9(1)3<br />
Firepower Extensible Operating System Version 2.3(1.54)<br />
Device Manager Version 7.9(1)151<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Any confirmation on these things is much appreciated.

How do you differentiate a standard ASA5500-X to a FPWR model?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
