Is there a replacement product for Cisco ACE Web Application Firewall?

[p.charalambous1]

I have noticed that the ACE Web Application Firewall product has been declared as end-of-life (see link below)

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/contnetw/ps5719/ps9586/end_of_life_c51_609818.html

Is there a replacement product for this web application firewall? From what it seems, Cisco now does not have a product offering for a WAF?

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately, you are correct: there is no replacement product for WAF (nor for AXG).

Thanks a lot Nicolas.

Although Cisco does not have a replacement product, Vordel has a very attractive ACE replacement program for its high performance Gateway.  Check out the website: http://www.vordel.com for more details

We just replaced our Cisco ACE Web Application Firewall with the F5 Application Security Manager:

We evaluated Imperva and F5. F5 is a full proxy with tcp multiplexing (similar to the Cisco WAF) and had much better performance when placed inline.

Cisco now offers the ASA CX Content-Aware Security solution which works in conjunction with the new series of ASA firewalls. See the data sheet here.

For anyone using Cirtix Netscaler load balancers, the Netscaler application firewall is quite nice also.
