Cisco ASA 1000V Cloud Firewall

Comprehensive Security - Physical, Virtual, Cloud

The ASA 1000V complements the zone-based security capabilities of the Cisco Virtual Security Gateway (VSG) to extend Cisco's virtual and cloud security portfolio. It provides multi-tenant edge security, default gateway functionality, and protection against network-based attacks.

Solution Flexibility and Operational Efficiency

Integration with the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series Switch provides simple yet crucial solution enhancements for virtual and cloud infrastructure security:

• A single ASA 1000V instance can span across and help to secure multiple VMware ESX hosts for enhanced deployment flexibility and simplified management.
• Multiple hypervisor capable solution provides unmatched deployment flexibility which eliminates vendor lock-in.

Multi-Tenant Management

The Cisco ASA 1000V Cloud Firewall also employs the Cisco Virtual Network Management Center for the following important benefits:

• Helps to enable rapid and scalable deployment through dynamic, template-driven policy management based on security profiles
• Enhances management flexibility through an XML API that helps enable programmatic integration with third-party management and orchestration tools
• Helps to ensure collaborative governance with role-relevant management interfaces for network, server, and security administrators
