1. About the ASA FirePOWER Module
The ASA FirePOWER module supplies next-generation firewall services, including Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS), Application Visibility and Control (AVC), URL filtering, and Advanced Malware Protection (AMP).
The ASA FirePOWER module runs a separate application from the ASA. The module can be a hardware module (on the ASA 5585-X only) or a software module (all other models).
For ASA model software and hardware compatibility with the ASA FirePOWER module, see Cisco ASA Compatibility.
