Earlier this year, our product teams worked closely to validate Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual 7.0 on the Nutanix hypervisor – AHV, empowering Nutanix’s HCI customers to secure their environment with the most comprehensive security platform. Customers now have more deployment options and can centrally manage a single firewall technology for on-premises and Nutanix private cloud infrastructure. Read our blog on the Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual integration with Nutanix AHV here.

With Cisco and Nutanix, customers now enjoy the following benefits:

  • Extending Layer 3, Layer 4, and Layer 7 protection to your Nutanix private and public clouds
  • Enforcing policies East to West in the data center with Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual’s full-stack policy enforcement and intrusion prevention capabilities
  • Implementing consistent security policies including application control, user access, deep visibility, and network across to different parts of the environments
  • Supporting multiple configuration modes:
    • Passive
    • Routed HA
