Product Overview
Product Overview
This Cisco Secure Firewall 6100 license adds 10 security contexts to your existing platform. Security contexts allow you to create multiple virtual firewalls on a single physical appliance, enabling you to segment your network, apply distinct security policies, and manage traffic for different departments or applications independently.
This license is designed for businesses that require advanced network segmentation and policy management. IT Managers and IT Professionals can use these contexts to isolate critical systems, segregate guest networks, or enforce specific security postures for different business units, all within a single, consolidated hardware platform.
- Increased Capacity: Enables the creation of up to 10 additional security contexts on your Cisco Secure Firewall 6100.
- Granular Policy Control: Allows for the definition and enforcement of unique security policies for each context.
- Network Segmentation: Facilitates the logical separation of network traffic and resources for enhanced security.
- Resource Optimization: Consolidates multiple firewall functions onto a single appliance, reducing hardware footprint and management overhead.
- Subscription-Based: Operates on a subscription model, providing predictable costs and access to ongoing updates and support.
This license empowers SMB and mid-market organizations to achieve enterprise-level network segmentation and security policy management without the complexity of multiple physical devices.
What This Enables
Enable Advanced Network Segmentation
Enable teams to logically divide their network into distinct security zones, each with its own policies and configurations. This improves security posture by isolating critical assets and reducing the blast radius of potential breaches.

Industry Applications
Finance & Insurance
Financial institutions require robust network segmentation to protect sensitive customer data and comply with strict regulations like PCI DSS and GLBA, making security contexts essential for isolating different transaction types or customer segments.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare providers must adhere to HIPAA regulations, which mandate the protection of patient health information. Security contexts enable the isolation of medical devices, patient record systems, and administrative networks to ensure data privacy and security.
Retail & Hospitality
Retailers and hospitality businesses handle sensitive payment card information and customer data. Security contexts help segment Point of Sale (POS) systems, guest Wi-Fi networks, and corporate infrastructure to meet PCI DSS compliance and prevent breaches.
Legal & Professional Services
Law firms and professional services organizations manage highly confidential client information. Network segmentation using security contexts is critical for isolating client data, internal communications, and case management systems to maintain attorney-client privilege and data security.
