FAQ about Roadmap and how to test Cisco Next Generation Firewall (NGFW )
Q: Are there any plans to integrate Firepower Threat Defense into existing Cisco Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solutions and/or offer a Secure SD-WAN solution based on Firepower Threat Defense ? PAN, FTNet and others already offer SD-WAN capabilities based on their NGFW platforms, when can we expect similar from Cisco ?
A: We are currently investigating the integration of SD-WAN to Firepower Threat Defense (FTD ) as we continue to develop out our solution. At present, we have found that most customers only need a few features and not the whole SD-WAN suite
Q: Is NGFW supported in public cloud/IaaS environments ?
A: We currently offer FTD in both Amazon Web Services and Azure marketplaces to help organizations secure their public cloud infrastructure. We will be adding support for GCP and OCI this year as well as an ongoing roadmap for other public clouds.
