Frequently Asked Questions
What is a platform license?
A platform license is an entitlement that unlocks specific features or capabilities on a hardware appliance or software platform. For Cisco Firepower, this license enables the core IPS and application control functionalities.
What is the difference between IPS and a firewall?
A firewall controls network traffic based on predefined rules (ports, protocols, IP addresses). An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) goes further by inspecting traffic for malicious patterns and actively blocking threats that a traditional firewall might miss.
How does application control benefit my business?
Application control allows you to identify and manage specific applications running on your network. This helps in prioritizing business-critical applications, preventing the use of unauthorized or risky applications, and optimizing bandwidth usage.
