Version 5.4.1.1
Dedicated AMP Appliances
Version 5.4 introduces a new Series 3 FirePOWER managed devices designed with additional processing power to
maximize the performance of the FireSIGHT System’s AMP features. The AMP8050 is a 81xx Family device with support
for Netmods and includes the additional storage necessary to function as a dedicated AMP appliance. The AMP8350 is
an 83xx Family device also with support for Netmods and the additional storage required for AMP functionality. The

FirePOWER Services Management Capabilities
Centralized Management of Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services
The Defense Center is now able to manage FirePOWER Services (ASA FirePOWER devices) implementations running on
ASA5506-X, ASA5506W-X, ASA5506H-X, ASA5508-X, and ASA5516-X devices in the same way it does on all of the
other ASA5500-X devices. This enables the management of multiple ASA devices running ASA FirePOWER devices from
a single Defense Center, as long as the ASA platform is running Version 9.3.1 or later and the ASA FirePOWER device is
running Version 5.4.1 or later. Administrators will be able to configure intrusion detection and prevention policies,
advanced malware protection, application control, user and group control, file control, and URL filtering and then apply
those configurations to multiple ASA devices all at once. In addition, Defense Centers provide critical dashboards, event
views, alerting capabilities, and reporting from all of your ASA FirePOWER devices in a single view.
