Next version of Cisco ASA scheduled for release in 2021

[Ricky Sandhu]

Hey everyone,  I was going through the end-of-life/sale notices of the Cisco ASA at the link below and noticed a mention of "next version of ASA".  This caught me by a (happy) surprise because I was recently told that Cisco is doing away with ASA platform entirely. If there is a "next version of ASA" on the horizon, I would rather wait for that.  Does anyone else know any more details on this?

As of now (19 January 2021), Cisco hasn't announced any new hardware beyond the Firepower 1010/1100, 2100, 4100 and 9300 series models currently offered. There has been talk of rebranding them all as "Cisco Secure thus-and-such" but no new hardware models have been announced.
