Firepower vs ASA

[newentrant]

Hi,

I need a comparison of Firepower vs ASA. Can anybody help me with it?

Cheers

I would describe them as "completely different".  Firepower is a "Next Generation" firewall, while the ASA is not.

Most of what this describes an ASA on its own can not do.

Hello Team,

You can use Firepower software module with ASA and redirect the traffic through the Firepower module for inpsection. You can create access control rules, url cateogarization rules and intrusion policy rules etc.. It willl inspect the traffic according to the action and block it or allow it accordingly.
