Rackspace & Cisco: A Collaboration Delivering Advanced Security for Multi-Cloud Environments

Threat Focused

Rackspace offers our customers a range of firewall solutions including early access to Cisco Firepower, the industry’s first fully integrated, threat-focused next-generation firewall. It stops threats, known and unknown, with the industry’s most effective threat protection; provides more insight and control; detects malware earlier and shrinks time-to-detection for quicker remediation. With Cisco Firepower, we can consolidate a multitude of edge network firewall and threat management features onto one device such as AnyConnect VPN client-to-site services, Threat Defense (IPS), Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), and URL Filtering (URL).

Network Protection

Help prevent malicious packets from reaching your network using a dedicated firewall. We’ll help you apply filtering rules to your network traffic, so you can manage access to data and safeguard against service interruptions. Traffic is inspected and filtered based on these rules before being sent to your server.
