Exportable ASA Enterprise Management

[mike.mcvay]

I have an enterprise wide network with ASA 5545s. I need to centrally mange those devices. What tools are available from Cisco?

The systems needs to be releasable to NATO.

Does Cisco FireSIGHT Management Center work?

Have a look at Cisco Security Manager. It will allow  managing policy, configuration across ASAs.

I believe FireSight Management Center can only manage the older sourcefire appliances and firepower modules.

I have read some where Cisco plan to merge the capabilities into one product likely FireSight Management- wouldn't quote me on that as I can't find it.

Joel has it right.

CSM is the current centralized management tool specific to Cisco ASAs. It does not manage the FirePOWER modules per se (nor the Cisco /.Sourcefire FirePOWER and AMP appliances) - that's the area that Firepower Management Center (new name as of version 6.0) covers.

In the long term the two will merge but that will be some time coming.
