The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco Secure Firewall 4100 Series appliances
The Cisco Secure Firewall 4100 Series is a family of four threat-focused NGFW security platforms. Their throughput range addresses internet edge, data center and service provider use cases. They deliver superior threat defense, at faster speeds, with a smaller footprint. Cisco Secure Firewall 4100 Series supports flow-offloading, programmatic orchestration, and the management of security services with RESTful APIs. Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS)-compliance is supported by the Cisco Secure Firewall 4125 platform. The 4100 Series platforms can run either the Cisco Secure Firewall ASA or Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) software.
