cisco firepower module is sit/work with cisco ASA. the asa unit have a SSD in that SSD is the firepower module software. The firepower module is a layer 7 inspection (deep packet inspection). you can manage your firepower module with FMC or you can manage it with ASDM.

But is it a Web Application Firewall which can monitor and protect our internet facing web servers (web application)?

Thanks,

cisco does not make web application firewall. however Firepower product line does have some functionality that may be traditionally called part of a web application firewall (such as protection against SQL injection and cross-site scripting). it is not intended to be competitive with products that are purpose-built as a WAF.
