Features
The Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center series includes three models: FMC1700, FMC2700, and FMC4700. The Firewall Management Center series runs software that 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. It then provides tailored recommendations on what security policies to put in place and what security events you should investigate.
The Firewall Management Center series supports Cisco Secure Threat Defense software. See the Cisco Firepower Compatibility Guide, which provides Cisco Secure software and hardware compatibility, including operating system and hosting environment requirements, for each supported version.
The following figure shows the FMC4700.
