Cisco Systems Firepower 1140 NGFW firewall appliance

Cisco Firepower 1140 threat-focused NGFW

The Cisco Firepower 1140 is a threat-focused Next-Generation Firewall appliance from the Firepower 1000 Series. It delivers business resiliency through superior threat defense for small office, home office, remote branch office, and Internet edge deployments. The platform runs Cisco Firepower Threat Defense software.

Sustained performance

This appliance replaces earlier platforms that lose throughput when inspection features are active. The 1000 Series maintains exceptional sustained performance while advanced threat functions are running. The jump is worth it when legacy devices bottleneck under real-world security loads.

Throughput range for SOHO to Internet edge

The 1000 Series throughput range comfortably handles use cases from small office and remote branch to the Internet edge. It runs out when traffic volume or concurrent inspection sessions exceed the platform's rated capacity. Support for Cisco ASA Firewall will be added in a later release.
