In October 2013 Cisco acquired Source Fire, an industry leader in the security solution space. Since the acquisition, Cisco has integrated Source Fire in the ASA platforms as well as in the ISR platforms.

In this session you will learn about Source Fire company history, the rebranding of Source Fire as FirePOWER Services and how to use FirePOWER effectively on the ISR G2 and 4K platforms on the UCS-E blade to secure the network from attacks and malware.

How much overhead BW should be considered on WAN links when the FirePOWER Threat Defence for ISR solution is deployed?

FireSIGHT virtual instance can receive 10 million events.  It can support 25 sensors (both virtual and physical). 

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/firesight-management-center/datasheet-c78-732251.html?cachemode=refresh

It depends on how much traffic the sensor processes and how many events are sent from the FirePOWER sensor to FireSIGHT manager. This depends on the number of hosts in your environment and the anticipated security events rate.

Unfortunately, there is no one answer to this question. If you could reach out to your local Cisco account team, they will be able to analyze the size of your network, traffic pattern, anticipated events rate and suggest the requirement for BW.
