The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.
This document lists commonly used ASA features and the equivalent capabilities of the threat defense. For each ASA feature (that correlates to an ASA configuration guide chapter or section), we list the equivalent feature for the threat defense with a UI path for where to configure the feature in the Secure Firewall Management Center or Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO) cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center. We also provide management center documentation links, so you can read more about the feature implementation. For each feature, we provide known limitations or differences if present.
The management center is a multi-device manager that lets you apply security policies to multiple devices.
The threat defense includes many useful security features that are not present in the ASA, as well as management features provided by the management center that are not available in ASA management methods. This guide does not list threat defense features that are not available in ASA.
Note |
The management center supports some ASA features using a CLI tool called FlexConfig. |
