If you're looking for web filtering from Cisco, you're better off using Umbrella. It's slowly gaining the resources of WSA, but still has a way to go.

Pete is right about ids/ips and amp endpoint protect is pretty good. Content filtering is Ok, but reporting stinks.<br />
I'm leaning much furter toward Palo Alto for all the above. They have equivalent of Umbrella and AMP endpoint. Overall better products.

Hi there experts,<br />
<br />
So im looking into webcontent filter and app monitoring. Since we have a Cisco &nbsp;ASA i figure cisco Firepower services would be the a good choice and it offers IPS, Apps, AMP, and URL. We're also in the process of renewing our contract with the endpoint provider so this may be an opportunity to implement AMP.<br />
<br />
My question is, is Cisco firepower an industry leader for endpoint protection and web web content filtering? I know there are many security companies out there with amazing products but having them under one umbrella would make life easier.<br />
<br />
What has your experience been with Cisco firepower? good or bad..<br />
<br />
Thanks

Cisco FirePower -- is it worth?

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

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. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

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.
