Data Sheet
Cisco Firepower Management Center
The Cisco Firepower™
Management Center increases the effectiveness of your
Cisco®
network security solutions by providing centralized, integrated, and streamlined
management.
Product Overview
The Cisco Firepower Management Center is the administrative nerve center for a number of Cisco security
products running on a number of different platforms. It provides complete and unified management of firewalls,
application control, intrusion prevention, URL filtering, and advanced malware protection. The Management Center
is the centralized point for event and policy management for the following solutions:
● Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)
● Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services
● Cisco Firepower Next-Generation IPS (NGIPS)
● Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense for ISR
● Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP)
The Firepower Management Center provides extensive intelligence about the users, applications, devices, threats,
and vulnerabilities that exist in your network. It also uses this information to analyze your network’s vulnerabilities
and provides tailored recommendations on what security policies to put in place and what security events you
should investigate.
The Management Center provides easy-to-use policy screens to control access and guard against known attacks.
It integrates with advanced malware protection and sandboxing technology, and it provides tools to track malware
infections throughout your network. It unifies all these capabilities in a single management interface. You can go
from managing a firewall to controlling applications to investigating and remediating malware outbreaks with ease.

Enterprise-Class Management
The Cisco Firepower Management Center discovers real-time information about changing network resources and
operations to provide you with a full contextual basis for making informed decisions (see Figure 1). In addition to
providing a wide breadth of intelligence, the Firepower Management Center delivers a fine level of detail, including:
● Trends and high-level statistics that help managers and executives understand their security posture at a
given moment in time as well as how it’s changing, for better or worse
● Event detail, compliance, and forensics that provide an understanding of what happened during a
security event to improve defenses, support breach containment efforts, and aid in legal enforcement
actions
● Workflow data that can be easily exported to other solutions to improve incident response management

Figure 2. Single Policy Covering Multiple Security Functions
Unparalleled Visibility and Insight
Because you can’t protect what you can’t see, the Cisco Firepower Management Center automatically collects,
collates, and displays contextual information about everything running in your environment. Table 1 illustrates the
breadth of contextual awareness provided into threat vectors that more traditional security technologies do not
detect. This critical insight into your network is available for use in your protection policies to provide a level of
protection that other solutions cannot.

Management Before, During, and After an Attack
The Cisco Firepower Management Center provides unified management across the entire “attack continuum”—
before, during, and after an attack.
Before
● Provides exceptional visibility into what is running in your network so you can see what needs to be
protected
● Creates firewall rules, and controls how more than 4000 commercial and custom applications are used in
your environment
During
● Defines the intrusion prevention levels, URL reputation rules, and advanced malware protection pieces to
be put in place
● Applies policies such as: “When network traffic is coming from this country using this particular application
with a file attached, I will apply this level of intrusion inspection and analyze the file for malware, and even
send it to the integrated sandbox, if necessary”
After
● Generates a graphical representation of all the devices the attack has infected
● Provides ability to easily create a custom rule to stop the attack from advancing
● Gives a detailed analysis of the malware to safely remediate it
Automated Security for Dynamic Defense
The Cisco Firepower Management Center continually monitors how your network is changing. It streamlines
operations and improves your security by:
● Automatically correlating new attack events with your network’s vulnerabilities in order to alert you to attacks
that may have been successful. Your security team can focus on those events that matter the most.
● Analyzing your network’s vulnerabilities and automatically recommending the appropriate security policies
to put in place. You can adapt your defenses to changing conditions and implement security measures
tailored specifically to your network.
● Correlating specific events from network, endpoint, intrusion, and security intelligence sources. You’re
alerted if individual hosts show signs of compromise from unknown attacks.
● Applying file policy criteria. If those are met, it automatically analyzes the file to identify known malware
and/or sends the file to an integrated sandbox to identify unknown malware.

Open APIs for Easy Integration
The Cisco Firepower Management Center makes integration with third-party technologies possible through four
powerful, feature-rich application programming interfaces. The APIs provide connection points for:
● Moving event data from the Management Center to another platform, such as a security information and
event management (SIEM) solution
● Enhancing the information contained in the Cisco Firepower database with third-party data, such as
vulnerability management data and operating system information from active scanners
● Kicking off workflows and remediation steps that are activated by user-defined correlation rules, such as
integrating with a network access control (NAC) solution to quarantine an infected endpoint, or initiating a
digital forensic process
● Supporting third-party reporting and analytics by enabling those solutions to query the Firepower
Management Center database
These APIs are also used to integrate with a number of Cisco security products and workflows. These include
Cisco AMP Threat Grid for sandboxing; the Cisco Identity Services Engine for identity data and network
segmentation; and Cisco OpenDNS for Internet-wide domain visibility.
Choice of Deployment Modes
The Cisco Firepower Management Center can be deployed as a physical or virtual appliance, so you can choose
what options work best for your environment. The physical appliances generally manage a higher number of
sensors and provide greater event storage capabilities than their virtual counterparts. The virtual appliances
provide the convenience of being able to use your existing VM infrastructure. They can be easily deployed using
VMware vSphere provisioning and can manage assets in a physical network. Version 5.x and version 6.x virtual
appliances can be hosted on VMware ESX and ESXi hypervisors and can manage up to 25 physical or virtual
sensors.
Platform Specifications
There are a number of Cisco Firepower Management Center models. Choose the one that’s right for your
organization based on the number of sensor appliances to be monitored (both physical and virtual), the number of
hosts in your environment, and the anticipated security events rate (see Table 2). All models provide the same
management capabilities, including:
● Centralized device, license, event, and policy management
● Role-based management (segmented and isolated views and duties based on administrator role or group)
● Customizable dashboard with custom and template-based reports
● Comprehensive reporting and alerts for both general and focused information
● Event and contextual information displayed in hyperlinked tables, graphs, and charts
● Network behavior and performance monitoring
● Robust high-availability options to help ensure there’s no single point of failure
● Correlation and remediation features for real-time threat response
● Open APIs for integration with third-party solutions and customer work streams, such as firewalls, network
infrastructure, log management, SIEM, trouble ticketing, and patch management

Virtual Cisco Firepower Management Center performance is highly dependent on the virtual environment chosen: CPUs,
memory, storage, etc. Additionally, the virtual Firepower Management Centers listed in the “FS-VMW-SW” column that manage
2 and 10 devices are part of a promotional offer to manage FirePOWER Services on ASA. They should not be used for
managing independent FirePOWER sensors.
Note: A Cisco Firepower Management Center appliance must be present for a sensor to function. All sensor
licensing and management is handled by the Management Center. Additionally, when dealing with Cisco ASA with
FirePOWER Services products, all Cisco Firepower Management Centers manage only the FirePOWER portion of
the deployment.

Page 4 of 9 Management Before, During, and After an Attack The Cisco Firepower Management Center provides unified management across the entire “attack continuum”— before, during, and after an attack. Before ● Provides exceptional visibility into what is running in your network so you can see what needs to be protected ● Creates firewall rules, and controls how more than 4000 commercial and custom applications are used in your environment During ● Defines the intrusion prevention levels, URL reputation rules, and advanced malware protection pieces to be put in place ● Applies policies such as: “When network traffic is coming from this country using this particular application with a file attached, I will apply this level of intrusion inspection and analyze the file for malware, and even send it to the integrated sandbox, if necessary” After ● Generates a graphical representation of all the devices the attack has infected ● Provides ability to easily create a custom rule to stop the attack from advancing ● Gives a detailed analysis of the malware to safely remediate it Automated Security for Dynamic Defense The Cisco Firepower Management Center continually monitors how your network is changing. It streamlines operations and improves your security by: ● Automatically correlating new attack events with your network’s vulnerabilities in order to alert you to attacks that may have been successful. Your security team can focus on those events that matter the most. ● Analyzing your network’s vulnerabilities and automatically recommending the appropriate security policies to put in place. You can adapt your defenses to changing conditions and implement security measures tailored specifically to your network. ● Correlating specific events from network, endpoint, intrusion, and security intelligence sources. You’re alerted if individual hosts show signs of compromise from unknown attacks. ● Applying file policy criteria. If those are met, it automatically analyzes the file to identify known malware and/or sends the file to an integrated sandbox to identify unknown malware.

Page 5 of 9 Open APIs for Easy Integration The Cisco Firepower Management Center makes integration with third-party technologies possible through four powerful, feature-rich application programming interfaces. The APIs provide connection points for: ● Moving event data from the Management Center to another platform, such as a security information and event management (SIEM) solution ● Enhancing the information contained in the Cisco Firepower database with third-party data, such as vulnerability management data and operating system information from active scanners ● Kicking off workflows and remediation steps that are activated by user-defined correlation rules, such as integrating with a network access control (NAC) solution to quarantine an infected endpoint, or initiating a digital forensic process ● Supporting third-party reporting and analytics by enabling those solutions to query the Firepower Management Center database These APIs are also used to integrate with a number of Cisco security products and workflows. These include Cisco AMP Threat Grid for sandboxing; the Cisco Identity Services Engine for identity data and network segmentation; and Cisco OpenDNS for Internet-wide domain visibility. Choice of Deployment Modes The Cisco Firepower Management Center can be deployed as a physical or virtual appliance, so you can choose what options work best for your environment. The physical appliances generally manage a higher number of sensors and provide greater event storage capabilities than their virtual counterparts. The virtual appliances provide the convenience of being able to use your existing VM infrastructure. They can be easily deployed using VMware vSphere provisioning and can manage assets in a physical network. Version 5.x and version 6.x virtual appliances can be hosted on VMware ESX and ESXi hypervisors and can manage up to 25 physical or virtual sensors. Platform Specifications There are a number of Cisco Firepower Management Center models. Choose the one that’s right for your organization based on the number of sensor appliances to be monitored (both physical and virtual), the number of hosts in your environment, and the anticipated security events rate (see Table 2). All models provide the same management capabilities, including: ● Centralized device, license, event, and policy management ● Role-based management (segmented and isolated views and duties based on administrator role or group) ● Customizable dashboard with custom and template-based reports ● Comprehensive reporting and alerts for both general and focused information ● Event and contextual information displayed in hyperlinked tables, graphs, and charts ● Network behavior and performance monitoring ● Robust high-availability options to help ensure there’s no single point of failure ● Correlation and remediation features for real-time threat response ● Open APIs for integration with third-party solutions and customer work streams, such as firewalls, network infrastructure, log management, SIEM, trouble ticketing, and patch management
