Introduction

The Cisco® Secure Firewall 200 Series offers next-generation firewall capabilities specifically designed for distributed enterprises and small branch locations. It provides robust, cost-effective security and simplified management within a compact form factor, ensuring secure and optimized connectivity at the network edge. The 200 Series extends Cisco's Hybrid Mesh Firewall architecture to branch edges, providing AI-powered inspection and consistent security policies. It integrates SD-WAN capabilities for enhanced application performance and reliable user access. Additionally, the 200 Series delivers application and user control, efficient segmentation, and advanced security features tailored for cost-sensitive environments. Cisco Secure Firewall 220 is the first model in the 200 series.

Cisco Secure Firewall 220 with Cisco Firewall Threat Defense Software

Robust connectivity

  Achieve up to 1.5 Gbps throughput from a fanless desktop firewall when next-generation firewall capabilities are enabled. Enable the high-availability feature for continuous uptime.
  Connect branch offices to the hybrid mesh firewall architecture using the 1G Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) port. Network and cryptographic operations are accelerated inline by leveraging the System on a Chip (SoC).

Superior visibility

  Leverage the AI-powered Encrypted Visibility Engine (EVE) to gain insights into and control over encrypted traffic, including Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3, thereby eliminating the need to decrypt traffic.
  Protect networks against zero-day vulnerabilities with SnortML—a machine learning-based exploit detection technology integrated into the industry-leading Snort 3 intrusion prevention system (IPS).

Simplified management

  Scale effortlessly: Manage up to 1,500 firewalls now, scaling to 2,000, via Security Cloud Control Firewall, Manager optimized for Hybrid Mesh Firewall and MSSP environments. Use prebuilt templates and streamlined migration tools for fast, consistent global deployment without extra overhead.
  Unified management, smarter security: A single intuitive console unifies logging and event viewing. Integrated AIOps converts telemetry into actionable insights and automated policy recommendations, enabling faster resolution, less alert fatigue, and proactive threat response.

Seamless integration

  Achieve comprehensive, end-to-end protection through native integration with Cisco Umbrella ®, Cisco Secure Access, and Cisco Endpoint Security.
  Optimize application performance and user experience through seamlessly integrated SD-WAN capabilities, accelerated by Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP).
