Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) Features

Geolocation and Access Control

: FireSIGHT

: Series 3, Virtual

: Any except DC500

Version 5.3 introduces the ability to filter traffic by source or destination countries 

from within your access control policy. To take advantage of geolocation filtering, 

specify the individual countries or reference a geolocation object in an access 

control policy rule.
Geolocation objects are configured in the object manager and represent one or 

more countries that your system has identified in traffic on your monitored 

network. Create geolocation objects to save and organize custom groupings of 

countries.

URL Filtering License Change

: Protection + URL Filtering

: Series 3, Virtual, X-Series

: Any except DC500

Sourcefire no longer requires a Control license to enable URL filtering. Only a 

Protection license is required. After you add a URL Filtering license for the first 

time, the Defense Center automatically enables URL filtering and automatic 

updates.
