security module designed for the Firepower 3000 series, delivering
ultra-fast throughput, advanced threat protection, and flexible
deployment for enterprise and data center environments. With four
40G QSFP+ ports, this module supports high-bandwidth applications
while enabling granular security controls, deep traffic inspection,
and seamless scalability.
Key Features & Benefits
✔ High-Speed 40G Connectivity – Supports 4x40G ports (configurable
as 40G or 4x10G breakout) for low-latency, high-throughput traffic
handling.
✔ Advanced Threat Defense – Integrates Cisco Firepower Threat
Defense (FTD) with NGIPS, malware detection, and SSL/TLS decryption
for real-time threat prevention.
✔ Scalable Security & Flexibility – Works in routed or transparent
mode, supports load balancing, clustering, and centralized
management via Firepower Management Center (FMC).
