Cisco Firepower Database Signature Release Dates

[mmorfessis]

I need to find a way to pull up a list of all signature releases for Firepowers running version 6.6.5.2 and I need to compare they latest releases to what is applied to my appliance.

The point is, I need to confirm that the current version of signatures are within the last 2 signature releases. The definitions need to be current but I can't find a way to confirm based on the information I keep seeing on Cisco forums. I DO NOT have access to the appliance as separation of duties prohibits it but I have to independently check and confirm our networking group is meeting internal requirements with keeping the appliance updated.

There are at least 4 different analogues to "signatures" used by Cisco Secure Firewall (aka Firepower). They are:

1. Geolocation database

2. Vulnerability Database (VDB)

3. Snort Rule Updates (SRU) - Snort 2 and Lightweight Security Packages (LSP) - Snort 4

4. Security Intelligence (S) feeds for IP addresses and URLs.

Current versions for the first three can be found here (among other places):

The SI feeds are updated in real time and not version-controlled or numbered. That the latest feed is being used can only be verified on the management center itself.
