5516X CSC options

[stevan.judd@insight.com]

About to embark on replacing some 5510 ASA's with 5516X's and have a question. On the ASA's we have the Trend CSC module and I wondered what the Fire power alternative is on the 5516X? Is it just the Cisco ASA 5516-X Threat Defense License Bundle or am I missing a trick here?

TIA

Hello,

You are correct, Firepower is the answer for the CSC moving forward. As long as you have the correct licenses installed on Firepower (IPS, Malware, URL filtering), you are good to go. Instead of mapping one-to-one features of the CSC and Firepower, I would recommend to do a check on what exactly you expect out of the Firepower and install the licenses on Firepower accordingly..
