While it was easy to get a Firewall solution for our website via Cloudflare, we had a difficult time finding the right hardware, for that was not within the expertise of our company, we successfully got the assistance and required support from Cisco and opted for the Firepower 9300 Series to optimize our threat defense capabilities (we had none in fact) and have a state of the art Firewall to protect against any digital risks.
