The Cisco ASA5506-FTD-K9 is a security appliance that integrates comprehensive security features to protect your network from a wide range of threats. This device is designed to deliver advanced security services, including firewall capabilities, advanced malware protection, and intrusion prevention systems. With a stateful inspection firewall throughput of 750 Mbps, this appliance can handle the traffic of small to medium-sized enterprises efficiently. It offers a next-generation firewall (NGFW) throughput of 125 Mbps and a next-generation intrusion prevention system (NGIPS) throughput of 125 Mbps, ensuring that your network is safeguarded against the latest security threats. The appliance is equipped with eight RJ-45 interfaces, facilitating easy integration into a variety of network configurations. The Cisco ASA5506-FTD-K9 achieves a throughput of 250 Mbps when utilizing firewall and application visibility and control (AVC) for packets sized 1024B. With both firewall and AVC plus IPS enabled, the throughput is maintained at 125 Mbps for packets of the same size. For smaller packets sized 450B, the throughput for firewall and AVC is 100 Mbps, and for NGIPS, it is 75 Mbps. This appliance supports a maximum of 50,000 concurrent sessions with AVC and can handle up to 3,000 new connections per second with AVC, ensuring that your network can support high volumes of traffic without compromising on security. The IPSec VPN throughput is capable of reaching 100 Mbps with 1024B TCP packets using Fastpath, providing secure and efficient site-to-site or remote access VPN connections.

• Cisco Firepower Device Manager facilitates easy management of the device for small-scale deployments.
• Application visibility and control is standard, supporting over 4,000 applications, in addition to providing insights into geolocations, users, and websites.
• Automated threat feed and IPS signature updates ensure that the device is always equipped with the latest information to protect against emerging threats.
