Administrator at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Our main use case for Cisco Secure Firewall is to have the different clients secured in their own VLAN and subnet, ensuring effective segregation of our network. We do not have an internet connection with Cisco Secure Firewall; basically, it is all on-premise. We have different use cases and those need to stay separated, so they do not interfere with each other. My main usage for Cisco Secure Firewall is that I work in a train company where we are basically managing the network for the different use cases of the train. Those need to get separated, so the phone does not interfere with the cameras, for example, and we only allow the designated ports to the other.

Network Administrator at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees
My use case for Cisco Secure Firewall is because the old solution for the VPN access for the employees and also for the external contractors was already out of date, and there was no possibility of somehow prolonging it. So we did the search for a new solution and from the auction and bidding, Cisco Secure Firewall came.

Network Architect And Security at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
My most valuable feature of Cisco Secure Firewall is that I can see what is where, which rules are applied where, and create templates. In general, it's a good feature for us. Having Cisco Secure Firewall has definitely helped our organization because we are a German company that follows rules, so we have governance. We need to deploy the same type of governance everywhere, and it's much easier to deploy this way, even with some country-to-country differences.

Cisco Secure Firewall's use case in our organization is justified because we operate in the financial industry where security best practices require multi-vendor products. We are running other vendors' solutions as well, and since Cisco is a prominent and one of the best vendors in the market, we opted for Cisco Secure Firewall. Both solutions serve our security requirements effectively.

Cisco Secure Firewall can be used for perimeter security, IDS, IPS, and VPN purposes. When discussing secure access via Cisco Secure Firewall, it helps any roaming user, whether working from home, an airport, or in the office, to securely access any workload that could be located on a private cloud, public cloud, data center, or at the edge. It bypasses the on-premise firewall, but they offer firewall as a service, which is on the cloud and enables Secure Service Edge.

Network Consultant at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
In terms of implementing a zero-trust security model, Cisco Secure Firewall helps demonstrate use cases in our setup. For zero-trust, we have a secure firewall and SDA fabric or some network switches connected on the trust side. We have the Cisco ISE server here. From there, we securely onboard users in the network with the help of ISE. If some connected users try to access malicious sites or attempt to do something they are not supposed to do, we have configured a response in our setup.

We are using Cisco AnyConnect for our VPN, to be precise. We majorly use the VPN because all of our clients are on VPN, so whenever they want to connect to any of the resources from outside the network, they connect through the VPN.

We have two deployment models for the use case: one is a perimeter firewall and one is a data center firewall. If you have a perimeter, you will position Cisco Secure Firewall as a perimeter firewall; it fits more in data as a data center firewall because in a data center firewall, you are inspecting incoming traffic and you need a very good IPS, so Cisco Secure Firewall is very effective as a data center firewall.
