Cisco Firewalls in the UK — Secure Firewall (Firepower) Supply and Configuration

Overview

Cisco Firewalls in the UK — Secure Firewall (Firepower) Supply and Configuration

Cisco's firewall range runs from the compact Secure Firewall 1010 up to the carrier-class 4100 and 9300 chassis, all managed through Firewall Management Centre or cloud-delivered Firewall Management. Whether you search for a Cisco firewall, Cisco Firepower or an ASA replacement, this is the range we supply, license and configure for UK organisations — with hardware, threat defence licensing and support quoted together.

The Cisco firewall range, in plain terms

Firepower is now branded Cisco Secure Firewall, running Secure Firewall Threat Defence (FTD) software. It combines stateful firewalling, intrusion prevention, application control, URL filtering and malware defence in one appliance. Older ASA models still exist in many estates, and we help you map them onto the current range when support ends.

  • Secure Firewall 1010/1150 — small offices and branches, desktop form factor
  • Secure Firewall 2100 series — mid-size sites, 1 Gbps-class threat defence throughput
  • Secure Firewall 3100 series — head office and data-centre edges, modular interfaces
  • Secure Firewall 4100/9300 — cluster and carrier scale for service providers and large estates

Which Cisco firewall fits your site

Size on threat defence throughput with the services you will actually turn on — IPS, URL filtering and malware inspection all cost performance. Tell us your internet bandwidth, user count and required VPN tunnels and we will recommend the model rather than leave you guessing from a datasheet.

  • 1010/1150 for sites under roughly 200 users and 1 Gbps of internet bandwidth
  • 2100 series where you need redundancy, more VPN tunnels or deeper inspection
  • 3100/4100 series for clustering, high availability pairs and data-centre duty
  • Meraki MX range instead, when you prefer cloud-managed security without an on-site controller

Firepower model comparison for UK deployments

The most common question we get: which model for our size of organisation? This table maps the Secure Firewall range onto typical UK deployments. Figures are indicative threat-defence-class throughput with the security services on — send us your bandwidth and user count and we will confirm the right model before quoting.

  • Every model runs the same FTD software — the difference is throughput, interfaces and scale
  • Older Firepower 2100 and ASA 5500-X estates map cleanly onto the current range
  • We confirm the model against your real traffic before you commit, not from a datasheet alone

Licensing explained before you commit

Cisco firewall licensing has three moving parts: the appliance, the management platform, and the threat defence licences that unlock IPS, URL filtering and malware protection. We quote all three together so there are no surprises at renewal.

  • Threat, malware and URL licences matched to the protections you actually need
  • Firewall Management Centre appliance, virtual or cloud-delivered options compared
  • Smart Licensing and registration handled as part of the configuration
  • SmartNet and Success Tracks support options quoted alongside the hardware

From quote to a configured firewall

We supply Cisco firewalls UK-wide: stock is confirmed against your model, the FTD image and licences are applied, and the base policy is configured before dispatch. Replacement swaps from ASA or competitor firewalls can be staged so the old unit stays live until cutover.

  • Same-day quotes on named models with UK stock checks
  • Pre-staged configuration — interfaces, NAT, VPN and policy built before shipping
  • High-availability pairs delivered as matched, tested units
  • Ongoing support from our own engineers after installation

FAQs

Questions We Are Asked Most

Is Cisco Firepower the same as Cisco Secure Firewall?

Yes. Cisco renamed Firepower Threat Defence to Secure Firewall Threat Defence, and the appliances are now the Secure Firewall 1000, 2100, 3100, 4100 and 9300 series. The software and capability are a continuation of the Firepower range.

We run an old ASA — what replaces it?

Most ASA 5506–5545 estates map onto the Secure Firewall 1010, 1150 or 2100 series depending on throughput and interface count. Send us the current model and config size and we will propose the replacement and a staged migration.

Should we choose Cisco Secure Firewall or Meraki MX?

Meraki MX suits organisations that want cloud-managed security across many small sites with minimal on-site skill. Secure Firewall suits larger single sites, data centres and teams that need granular policy and the deepest inspection. We supply both and will quote whichever genuinely fits.

Do you supply the licences and management as well as the box?

Yes — every quote covers hardware, threat defence licences, management platform and support as one line item, so the firewall arrives able to do what you bought it for.
