Discover how Cisco’s Secure Firewall 1200 Series, powered by Snort 3, delivers uncompromised performance in rigorous testing to help partners to secure branch environments without sacrificing speed or visibility.
In today’s hybrid environments, performance isn’t optional, it’s essential. Security teams are under pressure to protect distributed workloads, encrypted traffic, and AI-driven applications without slowing down business operations. But can firewalls keep up?
Cisco’s latest innovation answers with a resounding yes.
The Cisco Secure Firewall 1200 Series, powered by Snort 3, has just proven its mettle in rigorous third-party testing. The results are impressive. In a world where performance often comes at the cost of protection, Cisco delivers both.
Why performance matters more than ever
Modern networks are complex. From cloud-native apps to encrypted traffic and remote users, the attack surface is expanding, and so is the demand for real-time threat detection. But traditional firewalls often struggle to inspect traffic at scale, especially when encryption and AI workloads are involved.
That’s where Cisco’s Secure Firewall 1200 Series steps in. Designed for branch offices and mid-sized environments, it offers up to 3.4 Gbps of threat inspection throughput, even with advanced features like Snort 3, Encrypted Visibility Engine, and AI-powered detection enabled.
Snort 3: smarter, faster, more flexible
Snort 3 isn’t just an update, it’s a transformation. This next-gen intrusion prevention system IPS brings:
- Modular architecture for faster updates and customisation
- Improved performance with multi-threading and better resource utilization
- Enhanced detection for modern threats, including encrypted and AI-driven attacks
In testing conducted by Miercom, the Secure Firewall 1200 Series outperformed competitors in both throughput and efficiency, proving that high performance doesn’t have to mean high compromise.
