At-a-Glance
Manage Cisco Firepower Policy from Third-Party Platforms
Enterprises typically use dozens of security technologies simultaneously.
These include tools that collect policy and security posture information
from a variety of sources. The Cisco Firepower™ REST API allows a
broad range of applications to access and parse policy, important policy
elements, and objects from the Cisco Firepower Management Center
platform and connected Cisco Firepower devices.

from a variety of sources. The Cisco Firepower™ REST API allows a
broad range of applications to access and parse policy, important policy
elements, and objects from the Cisco Firepower Management Center
platform and connected Cisco Firepower devices.
The REST API is a powerful tool for customers using either proprietary
management platforms or firewall policy management (FPM) and
network security policy management (NSPM) solutions from vendors
like AlgoSec, FireMon, Skybox, and Tufin. FPM, NSPM, and similar
technologies can use the read and write functions of the API to perform
a wide range of management functions. These range from complete
policy migration to working with specific Cisco Firepower elements such
as audit records, device and group information, physical interfaces, and
virtual switches.

The Cisco Firepower technology’s extensibility and capability to work
with external management applications make it practical for a customer
running multiple firewalls at the same time. They also ease the transition
to Cisco Firepower from a previous technology.

Improve Both Efficiency and Security
Next-generation firewall policy is available for external management
and risk modeling through a single REST API. Managed security service
providers (MSSPs) delivering services for Cisco Firepower customers
can use the API to increase efficiency in their large multitenant
infrastructures. MSSPs can easily perform customerwide policy updates.

For end customers, this efficiency can dramatically improve security.
They get the latest policies operationalized on their Cisco Firepower
next-generation firewall much more quickly, reducing the opportunity
for attackers.
